Why the word "normal" should be banned
Everyone uses the term "normal," to describe something in their life or just simply their life as a whole. It can be used to judge people, admire people, noun, or adjective. Which usage is best the usage you may ask? None.

The high school paper that changed my life in 2010.
My classmates have taken a great tragedy and have turned it into a modern day conception of a Zombie Outbreak. Saturday, April 26, 1986 there was a protocol breach at the nuclear power plant of Chernobyl Ukraine. Resulting in radiation poisoning, sickness, and death. Many species had lost their lives. Leaving mutated creatures and human beings. None of which were zombies whom “wanted to consume flesh.” But since the topic of a historical event has turned into Zombie mutation, allow me to share my own theories about life and what I believe a real “zombie is”.

“A Chat with Zoey”
It had been a bad day. Maybe it was because I got yelled at by customers earlier that day, or because I ran out of medicine three days before. Or maybe it was because I was low on funds and could only afford to eat hot dogs minus the bun, or because I was extremely lonely (and had been for several years). I like to think it was all of the above, but the customers were the icing on the cake.

Mintaka or Bed?
So this is a story about being asleep at the wheel: as in my whole community is asleep at the wheel. The whole world is for that matter. Do not know if it was the Hadron collider that did us in, or it really was the Mayan prediction, or a prophecy from some other epoch in time.

Dealing With Existential Crisis
I don’t know the way I’m feeling for some days even can be described as this term ‘Existential Crisis’ but what I know, to some extent, is that I can reveal some part of it and hope that sharing it would give me a better perspective towards my current situation and provide an insight understanding my life better.

Emotional Dichotomy
What it is to feel so separated? Seeing the new from an old perspective. Not so left out but slowly growing insane. Someone new in the times so separated. Experiences rise and surround the town, When one chapter closes, another one opens. From you or them, you see and hear what you wish. You dream of the experiences to come. Everything is new and no time to stop. You slow down to catch your breath but find your fuse is out. You see new experiences and moments in front of you, thinking if you are going too slow or just jealous of a different side of you.

honorless freedom
i grew up with predators. amongst them. it sounds like maybe i grew up in the jungle doesn't it? do you hope that is where this story is going? i wish. but then i don't, because if it wasn't for the stories i've been honored to listen to and live, i wouldn't be the woman i am. i wouldn't be able to question things and have helped fight to save some of the ones i've gotten to meet long the way.

Frustration
The rental application process can be challenging for the most part, particularly in todays technological age. Most Real Estates adopt an online presence and have apps and software that enable them to manage the increasingly competitive market.

A New Direction
I have always had a little travel bug in me and it truly keeps coming out more and more as I get older. I was lucky and had the opportunity to be exposed to new places and different scenery my entire life. From the yearly Mazatlán trip my family took together, or camping all together in the summer. I even went to Australia in 5th grade. I have see places and met new faces, but in my head, I drank the Kool-Aid society sold me.

Finding a Solution
The past couple of years have been a crazy time for the U.S. Every time I look at my phone, I see some huge news story of something new. Between Covid, the war in Ukraine, and the current state of our economy, there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. Since then, there has been an alarming increase in people suffering from depression and suicides. But along with that, crimes and shootings have also increased at alarming rates, leaving the rest of us wondering just how much is going to be enough.
