How To Escape This Place  9/19/18
@Madison Goldberg

No matter where you are in the world, everyone has a place where we can go to escape reality. For some people it's on top of there roof, for others, it's that park down the street from your house or that lake behind your neighborhood. We sit there in awe at how beautiful the environment is, it's enough to make us reminisce on the last time we laughed so hard we cried. It's enough to make us relax a little bit, this place for me is the beach.

I'll never forget one of the very first times that my best friend and I at the time went to my "escape home." We were both so stressed that day but the sky was so clear up there it always made us forget about everything that happened that day.

What's your escape home? I asked a friend this question and he told me when he was a kid his dad took him out to the woods every day to go fishing. Sometimes they would just sit out there to go talk. He still goes out there to this day to just sit out there and think about what's going on in his life.

Nowadays the idea of us just going out somewhere to relax is becoming less and less common, we get so caught up on school or our jobs we use things like alcohol or drugs to escape. Then we take so much for granted when we have a lot of free time as a kid then as we get older "recess" gets shorter and shorter. It's the small things like a place just go sit for a few hours that really matter in life.

Now after reading this, I encourage you to go and find your escape home. Relax for a minute. Thanks for reading.

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
