Entry #3: Mint Condition

     It was a pretty chill night. There was a brisk breeze outside and the night was glimmering. I was craving a nostalgic item to satisfy my sweet tooth at the late hours of the night. I slowly unwrapped the paper packaging, creating a swift but quiet shredding sound. This, revealing the roll of smooth, white candies. While they looked perfect inside the roll, some were imperfect, with slight cracks and small bubbles on the coating. I immediately popped one in my mouth. The candy presented a cool enlightenment on my tongue. I had the candy in my mouth for a second before I bit into it, revealing a stretchy and enticing center. It was a nostalgic feeling, as I used to eat one after every dance practice I would attend when I was a child. It wasn't quite the same since the ones I used to get after practice were of the fruity variety, but the texture was extremely similar and familiar. While remembering this fond memory, the mint eventually dissolved as well as my recalition. So, I ate another, and I let the thoughts roll over me once again to remember a blissful time in my past.

Entry #10: The Morphing Of Horror Movies

     If you are a horror movie lover like me, you might have noticed how horror movies have morphed throughout the years. As years pass, the topics often morph with the time and evolve using new technologies. Time is the reason that practical effects that you may have seen in Friday The 13th, seem outdated compared to the new effects of today. While time can definitely make some movies cheesy and outdated, time can almost make a movie better. This is extremely true wand evident in horror flicks and distinguishes a classic.      Take Psycho for example. The movie was iconic for the time it was created in because of its use of camera shots and combination of recognizable music. With this description, you probably thought of the shower scene where the killer kills one of his female visitors. Age has made this movie even more amazing because it led to a cult following. The movie also changed the industry with showing how scary ordinary people can be.   ...

Blog #0: All About Yours Truly

    Hi everyone! My name is Sarah and I am an 18 year old college student who is slowly, (but surely), working towards an associates degree in science with an emphasis in biological sciences. While I wish I could say that I know one hundred percent of where my future lies, that is what makes the journey that much more exciting! Now that I am done making myself sound like a motivational speaker, I might as well start talking more in depth about myself. So sit back, relax, maybe put on my favorite song  (which happens to be linked for your viewing pleasure), and let's get into it!      I was born April 12, 2002 right here in Arizona. I live with my parents and my sister Amy. We have two cats (Vader and Cheesy), and a dog (Ellie). When I was younger I always gravitated to creative activities. This led me to eventually get into painting. I specifically like to paint portraits. I also loved (and still love) Halloween and all things scary. This eventual...

Entry #6: The Normalization of Mental Health

     Mental Health. While commonly talked about, the concept is still very foreign, especially to older generations. Everyone has had some sort of run in with their mental health. Maybe last week you had a bad day but you can't stop thinking about it. Or you continuously made yourself anxious for no reason at all. Obviously, some mental health is more severe than others. When gone unchecked, it can create many more issues further down the line. That is why mental health needs to be talked about more and should be the forefront of the occasional deep conversation.     Personally I have had my fair share of mental health hiccups. Being diagnosed with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) at ten years old was definitely not my plan. And it especially was not my parent's plan either. What many might talk about is the effect of mental health, not only on you as a person, but on the others around you. This can be scary. It might make the people around you feel...
