School
My Story On Mean Girls
So this is my story on “ Mean Girls” so what is a mean girl? many of you may have seen the movie “ Mean Girls” with Lindsey lohan and Rachel Mcadams. The movie was basically showing how cruel high school girls can be, but in reality there much worse. My experience in high school was pretty much a rollercoaster when it came to friends. I have been in the wrong crowd before. I had friends that weren't my true friends. For example being, in grade 9 I met this girl, I won't be saying names, so I will use letters. So I met A in high school. She was this girl who was sweet at first but she changed quickly from being my friend. She literally talked a lot of shit behind my back. We used to hang out at her house, and after that time, she switched up which wasn't cool at all. Things changed dramatically, we stopped being friends. She just wasn't someone I should hang with. Next up, B was in my math class and we shared the same birthday. I thought she was cool at first but she changed quickly, she actually turned into my archnemesis. We got into fights, not physical, but verbal fights. She would call me names, and I would do the same too. I wasn't the mean girl in this situation, she was. I thought she was my friend, but clearly not. Her true colours showed. I hated that we shared the same birthday. I literally have a whole list of mean girls from my high school. Next on the list, was C, so C was very cool at first, but you guessed it. She did some mean things. If I could remember, she would talk crap behind my back but when she was hanging with me she would pretend to be my friend. I even got into a physical fight with her, something in her snapped and she pushed me and then I pushed her back into a wall. Both of us got sent to the principal's office, and we got detention. I hated detention, what is the point of that? Anyways, we stopped being friends for a long time, even till now were not friends, like it's been years since I spoke to her. The next one would be the three mean girls, the true mean girls of my life. There were these three girls in my high school, who go by the name of S, K, S let me tell you guys, they were really nice at first but, their true colours were revealed, while walking in the hallway they would yell at me saying rude nasty words. I would yell back, and we would get into fights, verbal fights. It was just really bad. When I finished high school, I was glad I didn't have to see their faces again. Now, let me be honest, it is 2022 and you guys are probably wondering if I talk to these people. well to answer that question, nope with C, I'll say we follow each other on Instagram and Facebook, and she checks my stories from time to time. I will say this, I remember reaching out to her last year 2021 but, she didn't respond back. Like, we're both adults now, she should have sent me back a message, but whatever, it is what it is. When it comes to A, we follow each other on Instagram and she also checks my stories, but we don't talk to each other. As for those three girls, S, K and S I haven't seen or heard from them in so many years, we don't follow each other on Facebook or Instagram. I don't need that kind of negative energy in my life. So will just leave it at that. My only advice to you guys if you are dealing with a mean girl is to be yourself, never change for anyone and don't react to the meanies. Mean girls feed on reaction. Don't be a bully, but be kind, stay strong, and separate yourself to calm down. Try thinking they're invisible, that one always works :) so that's my story of mean girls. Thank you for reading this far. If you guys want to share your experiences on mean girls, comment below :)

Please Stop Complaining About Student Loan Forgiveness
Picture: Unsplash, Honey Yanibel Minaya Cruz Think Twice Before You Complain In almost every corner, I’m finding complaints about student loan forgiveness. People on my Facebook feed seem to think their ideas on student loans are worth an audience (they’re not). Even though President Joe Biden has announced that college students will receive $10,000 in loan forgiveness and Pell Grant recipients will receive another $10,000, no one has been granted this yet. Those who would be relieved to have this cancellation are hoping this promise won’t be a fairy tale.

Stress Is Fuel For Growth, Greater Happiness, And Accelerated Success
The youngest heavyweight in the world boxing champion Mike Tyson once said, “Everybody Has a Plan Until You Get Punched in The Face”. The way I interpret this statement is that we have all gone through periods of success, and high confidence forgetting where we came from. And we all experienced levels of failures, setbacks, or injustices. What I am going to argue in this short piece, is that some of life’s setbacks can be turned to our advantage, converting the stress into mental fitness and abundance. I will also argue that most of the pain we experience is self-inflicted as we focus on the negatives and generate a lot of unnecessary noise and unrealistic deadlines.

A Little Girl
I am anything but perfect, in fact I'm so far from it that I have made mistakes in my life and have regrets on things I have done and still have trouble keeping those memories and my emotions at bay, when they decide to intrude on my mind, it's hard not say sorry, soo many times to myself for even letting it get so far. For letting myself show more then what I intended and keep asking myself "Why did I do that?" "How could I have done that." I ask myself, because it was never like me to get so angry or so upset over the tiniest of things, but somehow I did. And it is why I am the way I am.

In the second grade, my deskmate called JINGJING
At the time of the second year, my deskmate called quiet, people like its name, skin white beauty, I was still a log, until the second year began to muddled love this thing. She IS STUDY COMMITTEE MEMBER, I AM MATHEMATICS PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY SPECIAL GOOD, THE THING OF LOGICAL SEX IS MORE EAGER TO LEARN, FEAR POLITICS MOST, English AND LANGUAGE, WANT ENDORSEMENT EVERYDAY. She goes home every week is her father's Santana, I am a bicycle, the car to my shoulder, set back to ride 20 miles of road, and then ride 10 miles of mountain road, once a week. She is the legend of big Miss, temper that hot, easy to beat me, pinch me, kick me. Once she kicked me in self-study class, I had been used to guard against it, suddenly grabbed her calf, lifted up and almost fell, she suddenly hugged my neck, surprised at me. At that time I said, you that leather shoes kick me can hurt, at this time to see her skirt under the white flower leg, white underwear. Her face instantly red, I also Meng in, after about 30 seconds said, you still don't put, I also solemnly said you don't kick me put. This day to see me will inexplicably blush. A recess time, I went to the playground to fish in the ditch, then the playground side has a large poplar forest, there is a clear bottom of the river, on both sides of the river is along the grass beach, with a variety of wildflowers. I caught a 5 catties cauliflower snake in the river, originally planned to sell after school, put in my monthly food stamps in the bag. Put it under her desk, she was in the corner, and then she found the class, a bag opened, a big snake on the spot scared dizzy, not even scream, I carried her all the way to the school near the health center. Note: I have seen snakes since I was a child. Later I wrote a check and posted it under the board. To apologize, she oppressed me for the past semester, like a slave. Fetch water for her, clean up my, dirty work to accompany me in the second year. There was a heavy snow in winter. In 1999, she caught a cold, and I didn't go to fish and rabbits for a long time. She set a trap in the reeds near the turnips and cabbages by the river, cast a net, collected a pheasant and some fish, and then took some medicine and lay on the table. I will generally give the game to the kitchen uncle, he that I can eat a, solve my four pounds of food stamps this week poor students to eat the problem, also mixed wind raw water. Give her a fish soup, fish slightly fried, and then put in the big urn stew, put some white radish and tofu, a little pickled cabbage and steamed bread, because poor generally eat are hiding in the corner, uncle will give me the rest of the soup, I half steamed bread, then a steamed bread is very large at least 6 liang. She never knew before, I saw she didn't eat, asked her if she wanted, later she finished my soup, said where to taxi, really delicious, the teacher's canteen never. I was then the teacher canteen is delicious, expensive, cash, I was in the student A B C canteen. I say ONESELF DO OF SMALL STOVE, SHE LENG, SHE DOES NOT BELIEVE, LATER SHE KNOW I EAT NOT FULL, every TIME LEAVE a STEAMED stuffed bun for me. Next March, Friday sleet, her father can't come to pick her up, I said I send you, anyway, passing your house, she in the back seat, I ride 28, waddle, to her home. She has down jacket and raincoat, I only do their own cotton-padded jacket, inside a patch of autumn clothes, outside is a school uniform. Her mother warmly received me, see my wet clothes, to give his father's down jacket to me, said to retire, do not wear, the first time to know that there is air conditioning this thing, good warm. Because of wearing single shoes, feet are full of chilblain, in her home carpet, full of patches of socks have been soaked, her father's shoes I can not wear, in fact, I can not wear down jacket, are big. Her mother stuffed me with a pile of wool socks. She looked at me with big, tearful eyes and was a little more gentle with me after that. After the 51 sports MEETING, IN the school playground a FEW SOCIETY SMALL RAScal, BULLY her, I and a GROUP OF small MIX played up, the head sew six needles, small MIX MIX ONE OF the arms was discounted by me, they also ADMIRE a pick three courage, also convinced, later all meet and smile. She accompanied me to the stitches, asked me if it hurt, I said no, she let me lean on her arms, the first time to feel her heart beating fast. Then a period of time to accompany me to change my dressing, care about me every day. Junior three special busy, next class. Often meet, we wish to enter the best high school. In high school, I was addicted to novels, and she often pulled my ears. My deskmate in senior two, I am taller than her, 170. She gave me sweaters and all that, and I did everything she asked. Eleven holidays, two people crazy, accidentally held together, only to find that she has been Tingting girl, beautiful and moving, and then electrocuted like separate. University, I went to Xi 'an, did not keep the appointment to the yearning people, mainly poor, can not pay tuition fees. In the first two years of sophomore year, the happiest thing is to receive letters, share each other's happiness, share each other's learning, more is to care about each other's good or bad. Junior received your letter less and less, suddenly received a call from your mother, said that hope to meet me, see your mother haggard a lot, just know that your first year was detected slow granular leukemia, suddenly deteriorated. When I saw you again, you forced a smile and told me about life. I wish you were alive, but I can't find a match for stem cells and bone marrow. Senior you leave, I have not said: I love you! But you and I know that you this life is not you do not marry, I do not marry you. Then lie in my arms, we kiss for the first time, hug, listen to each other's heartbeat. Take your hand and grow old together. I worked all four years of college, paid off student loans, and you sent me a bunch of food, groceries, and clothes every now and then. You look at me have an ignorant teenager to a high-minded youth, smaller than you I become 183 big man, you dried the blood, with ink mixed after the point into my arm, life don't want to leave you after crying in my arms after parting ways to go to college. You came to Xi 'an alone by train and gave me a surprise Spring Festival. I couldn't go home because of work. You and I spent the Spring Festival in a small room of 18 square meters in an urban village, eating simple vegetables and pork noodles. Come back to hug me to sleep, and we are in compliance with the agreement, has not been about the bottom line of morality. Whenever I am in trouble, you always tell me by my side or ear, don't be afraid, even if the end of the world you still have me. Let's watch the 2008 Olympic Games together, and then I will propose to you. The notes in your things, I sealed them in the safe with the letters, and at the end of the diary it said... The luckiest thing in this life to meet him, his good... The most regrettable thing is that I can't marry him and have children for him... Everything IS TOO LATE, did NOT HAVE TIME TO 08 YEARS to lose you forever, I want to scold ONESELF SILLY force, WHY NOT SAY, is also a lifetime commitment, I LOVE YOU, small JING! Then I went everywhere I could, traveling, taking the spot you gave me. My current wife, my daughter. I've been hiding it from everyone, and I haven't been back in a long time. After marriage, I understand that you have long been in love with me. Love, let me let go, let my life colorful, my good wife, beautiful daughter, kind parents. I am now a good husband, is a good father, in my heart you and she are my love, and I love some greedy, can only be a person when recall. . Love's greed, love's wound, taste alone, maybe one day I will talk to my wife about you, she is the love you sent from heaven to save me.

Starr Theory
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Well I am one to disagree personally; when you realize what space is you will be rushed with the feeling of euphoria beyond belief. I’ve had much fear of death recently after hardship and loss, and I went to the deepest and darkest depths of my soul. I was lost in this world and I think we all feel the same. The yearning for more, the need for validation, the desire for love, the list could go on for years. We all feel it and we all receive these gifts differently. However, it’s not just gifts we receive, and sometimes we feel hopeless. We kill ourselves slowly with cigarettes or quickly with a bullet to the dome. These experiences are all fully necessary in life as they are all different. They are all unique paths with unique stories to tell and they should be shared.

The Failed Taylor Swift Serenade
I'm about to show my age, but I remember when Taylor Swift first came on the scene in 2007. (Yes I am feeling super old just writing this.) Being a choir kid since I was really young, I always wanted to be in the spot light, almost to the extent of Lea Michele from "Glee". I strived for fame, and I wanted everyone to know who I was. Now keep in mind, I definitely didn't have the vocal chords that reflected how I sounded in my head- but I wanted to be someone.

I so for the years
I slowly moved into my body... -- Transtromer But what about the years? In other words, what kind of confusing world is behind the time? For a year. I wish I could figure that out. Especially at this moment -- one day after I graduated from junior high school, I was holding the group photo of my junior high school graduation, carefully screening the years, how this difficult to capture things gradually lost in a frame of photographs that will not fade, and then turned into nothing in the subsequent memory......
