She’s fierce with bulging eyes, snapping the white board with a wooden pointer; the board reads in big, bold letters “HOOK.” She says, “You’ve got about seven words before your reader gets bored!”
Read morePresident Franklin Roosevelt once said, “Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves and the only way they could do this is by not voting.” What is an American’s greatest right?

All around you there are voices, some high, some low, some so distant they are mostly if not totally inaudible, others so close you feel like you could reach out and touch them.

For example, when there is “breakfast pizza” on Sundays (or even better, when said pizza stays out for an hour and the cheese becomes congealed), or when they serve tater tots for 13 days in a row. When I lived on campus, I practically kept an entire stocked kitchen under my bed complete with cutting boards, crockpot, and a cake stand.
