       W henever we eat any pleasurably delicious substance, we are drawn into a new world. The characteristics of this new world are derived from what we've just eaten. For example, a spicy food might take you to a world engulfed by pillars of flames. A sweet food may take you to a world encased in a grain of sugar; a candy land.     N ow imagine that you closed your eyes and ate a mysterious substance, of which you've no clue about its flavor or function. In this confused state, the first thing you notice after opening your eyes is a lingering scent of an icy dawn. You look around and see the world you have been taken to has ice stretching far beyond the horizon. The icy aroma enveloping you has gotten stronger after your senses have been honed. Every now and then, the world tremors slightly, with each tremor getting stronger, followed by a sharp gust of icy wind blowing in your face. Suddenly, you hear a sharp crunch, followed by a loud crack, and the ar...

  H ave you ever thought to yourself that your life "sucks" or that not everything goes your way, so you get upset? Well consider yourself lucky, you should feel grateful, and I'll tell you why later. There is a documentary  I watched about a year ago (I'll quote bits from it), which featured a thirteen year old girl whom, in all thirteen years of her life, never experienced familial love, affection, or any communication. She lived her life in total isolation inside her bedroom, "strapped to a potty chair." Her father went insane after his mother died, and he ordered his wife and son never to interact with the girl. The only furniture in her room was an animal cage. She lived her life in utter silence, to the point where even the neighbors had no idea that they had a daughter.      I t wasn't until the father and his wife were arrested, that people discovered the secret the family hid. The girl was taken off the hands of the the father and was taken in b...

           Blogs are a great way to exchange ideas and information, and anyone can participate. The first blog I read had lots of information that could have easily been overwhelming for people that aren't in the author's target audience. Even with all the information given, the author did a great job organizing and labeling different sections with headings and sub-headings to be able to easily distinguish the points talked about, making the blog much easier to read and navigate through. The author even included a table of contents with the points that they'll inform on at the very beginning of the blog, so readers can automatically read through and see which points pertains to them. The paragraphs were short and straight-forward, which is great because no one likes to read through huge chunks of words that fill their screen. Their tone was very friendly, and you can easily feel the passion the author has for the subject through their use of details a...

    Hello! My name is Angel Garcia and I am 18 years old. This semester is my first semester as a college student, so I am a bit excited to see what the future beholds. I love to admire nature and her beauty, so I enjoy spending time outside. Ah, not during the Summer though, I only enjoy the outdoors during Winter. You might be wondering "Now why is that?" Well, during the Summer season, the heat makes me feel really lethargic and lazy. So I rarely step outside when it's hot. Winter is the opposite for me. The cold makes me feel vitalized and very enthusiastic. I often play with my two dogs, Brownie and Bennie, outside during the Winter. Here they are! Brownie is on the left and Bennie on the right.     As far as my interests are concerned, I never really thought about that. It's more like everything is my interest. Everything that I do, I enjoy doing it. I don't remember a time where I have done something that I didn't find enjoyable. Well, it's more lik...
