I was so thirsty that nothing else mattered other than getting inside. I had to get the door open before I fainted here. I lifted myself up from the ground and faced the door again. I briefly shut my eyes and sucked in a deep breath, I was dying for some water. Pulling the handle down as hard as my fatigues arms

The Significance of Girl Power As Roseanne Barr once said “The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it.” Women throughout the ages have come to know the struggle of finding a voice through an abundance of society given stereotypes and gender roles. Most of these conformities are forced upon young girls at an early age, and often set a precedent as how to act in society. These oppressing social norms may seem inescapable, however through strength and feminist
Have you ever wondered how roller coasters are able to move? Roller coasters don't have engines to make them move after the first hill. In order for the car to reach the top of that e hill, the car has to be pulled up by a rope or wire of some sort hooked to a motor.

there was just a different feeling surrounding it. Like I was creating some sort of plot against it now. Pulling out the big guns, you might say. Last year I spotted it and I don’t know why it strikes fear into me, but it just does: the bird’s nest. Nestled in a corner under my deck, there it sat. Frayed pieces of straw poking out like arrows announcing I’m here, sucka, and there’s nothing you can do about it. That summer that mother bird roosting on its nest gave me the dirtiest looks a bird can muster
