Finding Your Own Soggy Cardboard Box

Exploring an old warehouse full of stuff and the discoveries I found.

Finding Your Own Soggy Cardboard Box
Kayla Hands

It's astounding what you can find in a soggy cardboard box in an old warehouse full of junk. With three dollars, I purchased a cardboard box full of assorted photographs just out of pure curiosity. Inside I found a variety of black and white photographs, post cards, and prints dating back to around the early to late 1900's. Almost of the contents of this box are photographs or post cards, which aren't always that interesting. However, I did find a very peculiar 4x6 photograph in the box.

My first thought when seeing this image was, "It's the Titanic." After some further research and a Google Image search, I still have not been able to figure out whether or not this is the Titanic. The Titanic was built in Belfast in 1909 and featured four large smokestacks. This image is obviously zoomed in on the passenger liner. Besides only seeing one smokestack in this image, it is spot on when compared to an image of the Titanic. The Titanic is either known for the very well known movie or its collision with an iceberg killing nearly 1,800 people. Whether this image is of the Titanic or not I find it very interesting.

If you are into movies featuring televisions biggest mobs and gangs, then you have most likely seen the movie GoodFellas. Growing up in a household where the Oceans movies, GoodFellas, and many others were played repeatedly, I was ecstatic over my next big find in this box of wonders. Inside was an autographed black and white print of Tony Darrow (still alive today), one of the major cast members in the movie GoodFellas.

The moral of this article is to prove that you shouldn't be afraid of dusty, random places full of very cool stuff. Explore where curiosity takes you and find some interesting junk.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
