Beyond The Green Grass
Alicia Sansone

Beyond The Green grass is a small little cottage. No one knows who lives in this cottage. Not one person has ever seen the doors open, but one day little Rachel saw the door open. She ran to the trees and watched as an older women came out with a little boy. She kept saying "it is okay Johny, everything is okay now!" Rachel waited in the trees until they left.

That night Rachel couldn't help but think, "who were those people?" She took out her book of fairy tales and read Cinderella, her favorite story, so she could fall asleep.

The next day Rachel went back through the green grass to find out who these people were. She slowly walked up the cobble stone pathway, up to the wooden door. Before she could knock the door swung open. There stood the little boy.

"Hi I'm Johnny, what's your name?"

"Rachel. Who are you? When did you move in?"

Johnny had a confused look on his face so Rachel said, "Everyone around the village has never seen anyone in this cottage before. No one has ever seen that door open!"

Johnny said with a cheerful look, "This cottage was owned by my great grandparents. It was given to my grandpa but they never moved in, so years later it was given to my dad. We moved in yesterday!"

"Well Johny, welcome to Beyond The Grass Village, but why was that women saying , 'everything will be okay?"'

"At first I didn't want to move here but after I saw you hiding in the trees I knew I would have a friend to show me a good time!"

After that day Rachel and Johnny became best friends and never left each other's side. There friendship will last forever!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
