Get to Know Us: Stephen Slack

My name is Stephen Slack, and I am 20 years old. I just recently transferred from Georgia Southern University to Kennesaw Sate University. I just started writing for this site, and feel like everyone reads this site for the “list” posts. So, in order for you to get to know me, I’m going to make this article a list of 26 facts about myself. Sound good? Awesome.

  1. Born in New Jersey back in '94.
  2. I played soccer my entire life.
  3. I know every word to the Mel Brooks movie "Blazing Saddles."
  4. My beagle's name is Bogey.
  5. I enjoy cooking at home even though I cook all day at work.
  6. I feel like I’m writing a Tinder bio, right now.
  7. My best friend is Active Duty Air Force and lives in Kansas.
  8. Top five favorite movies are "Blazing Saddles," "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," "Pulp Fiction," "American History X," and "Fargo."
  9. I pledged Sigma Alpha Epsilon at Georgia Southern University in fall 2013.
  10. My dream is to backpack Southeast Asia before I’m 30.
  11. I talk to my dog like he’s a human. I’m still expecting a reply like he’s Eddie McDowd working on his 100 good deeds.
  12. I went to Vans Warped Tour five years in a row.
  13. Movie quotes are a part of regular conversation.
  14. I’ve seen every episode of "Supernatural," "House of Cards," "Sons of Anarchy," and "Bob’s Burgers," as well as several others, but I don’t think my article has that much room.
  15. Diehard fan of the Mets, Jets, and Devils.
  16. My money spent on fishing gear is more than what most girls spend on shoes.
  17. I will sing every song from Garth Brooks to Gucci in my truck, loud and off key, when it’s just Bogey and me. Or other people, really.
  18. I post more Doug the Pug to my Facebook then anything else.
  19. Growing up I had three pugs, three beagles. (Bogey is the fourth), and an outdoor cat.
  20. Both of my parents are remarried. I have one sister and a bunch of step siblings.
  21. I am working to become completely fluent in Spanish, both in a classroom setting and an informal setting at work.
  22. Kurt Vonnegut is my favorite author. "Slaughter House 5" is my favorite book.
  23. I binge watch “Criminal Minds” and “Law and Order: SVU” (I often quote the full Law and Order: SVU intro line).
  24. Writing this list has actually been a pretty difficult task, and has taken me almost a week to complete.
  25. Ideal days off work tend to lead me to a mountain trail for a day hike.
  26. My older sister, Caitlyn, is my role model.
  27. I eat Hershey’s Cookies and Cream Chocolate like it’s going out of style.

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.
