Alleged Death Of Aspiring Writer
Cornel Zimmer

Jonathan Dent, 22, apparently died early Friday morning, December 2, 2016 in Oklahoma Baptist University. He was found face down, forehead acting as a paperweight for the mass of textbooks and annotated articles that circled his body. It was most likely another case of the typical finals-related death, but there is a chance Mr. Dent opted to use his diminishing time and energy instead to research and acquire complex neurotoxins capable of simulating a complete cessation in pulse.

In any case, he will leave behind all of his possessions and people he knew, either due to his death or the assumption of his new identity. These include, but are not limited to, 91 main console Nintendo games (handhelds were unavailable for systematizing,) close friends who may or may not have been associating with him purely for his editing abilities, and a general sense of contented bewilderment.

Born and raised in the greater Houston area, as opposed to the lesser, he was the son of Michael and Cheryl Dent, both religious watchers of late-night television, and brother to Amber, a home giver to stray animals.

In his early years, Mr. Dent cannot remember much besides a vague yearning for dairy products and an innate ability to communicate with animals and the supernatural.

After reaching the age appropriate for entry into Pre-K, the paranormal aspects of his life waned, but this was luckily inversely related to his affinity for dairy. He made a lifetime of school, (against his will, perhaps,) but was still involved in a plethora of activities during his extended duration. There was the Environmental Club for one spring, which he joined to get closer to a girl, as well as a short foray into choir, in no small part due to the Sea World Trip at the end of the year, and maybe the most impressive was his division II intramural flag football team making it to the quarterfinals.

Mr. Dent had a passion for quoting movies. In social gatherings, he would do recon over the types of people who were attending and the films they would most likely be interested in. He would create a notecard full of possible references and repeat a phrase, mostly in the semi-appropriate accent, whenever a break in the conversation set him up. If the one-liners failed, he would attempt to moonwalk out of the situation and enforce a minimum three week ban on attending anything remotely communal.

An avid proponent of zombie preparedness, he was a longtime member of underground networks in both Texas and Oklahoma dedicated to getting the world ready for the inevitable apocalypse. Mr. Dent even held the office of Secretary to the Secretary of The Improvement of Weapons Knowledge. His duties mostly revolved around passing out strips of paper with facts printed on them about various weapons to random citizens.

A date has yet to be set on the funeral service, as the family’s legal team is getting bogged down with the legalities of possibly having a corpse shot into space. He did, however, prepare a playlist for the service well in advance of his alleged demise.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
