My Personal Paranormal Experience

It wasn't my imagination

My Personal Paranormal Experience

Ah, the good old paranormal or ghost sighting that strikes up debates whether it's real or fake. I believe in the paranormal ever since I was exposed to ghost videos and shows. However, I will be sharing my personal paranormal experience where I saw the ghost of my grandmother who passed away 3 years ago.

A bit of context to this story is that my grandmother suffered a stroke in 2015 and, unfortunately, after the stroke, she had more health issues and started to have problems with her legs and was in constant pain. Eventually, the pain and other health issues brought on by the stroke and her legs led to her passing.

Losing my grandmother was tough, as I would never be able to have her in my life to be proud of me and to one day be able to buy her gifts. I would never be able to see her in person again, as the last time I saw her in person was when I was younger. We had only communicated through phone calls. Fast-forward to Fall 2016, I was home alone during the evening and working on a paper for my ENG 101 class. I was deep in thought and typing when I noticed something bright in the corner of my eye. I noticed this bright white apparition of a female person whose back was towards me. The female ghost had an extremely long braid with a bow, wearing a dress. I remained in shock as I was taken aback by this ghost apparition that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was right outside my room and in the kitchen. I didn't know what to say or do so, I stayed silent as I watched this ghost walk a few more steps before vanishing right in front of my eyes. This all happened in about 10 seconds but to me, but it felt longer, as if time slowed down.

After watching this ghost disappear, I remained quiet as I tried to contemplate what I had just witnessed. I was thinking to myself who it could have been, and the only thought I could think of was my deceased grandmother. So, I decided to wait for my mom to come home and ask about how my grandmother looked to see if there was a connection to the ghost. As soon as my mother came home, I asked her "Did my grandmother have long hair that was braided with a bow?" She responded and said, "Yeah. She had extremely long hair that was in a braid with a bow when she was younger". I immediately told her of what I saw and she was surprised but her expression was of sadness and her reply was "She came to watch over us".

Looking back at it now, I believe it was my grandmother's ghost appearing to say a final goodbye to me before she departed the world to the other side. To this day, the moment has stuck with me and is something I'll never forget.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
