People Who Live Differently

Sometimes, all one should do is look deep enough and see who the person really is.

People Who Live Differently
Anna Dziubinska

Some are born to live:

To coast through life day by day.

Some are born to be productive:

To work through the world and gain.

Some are born to explore:

To discover new and exciting things.

Some are born to be angry:

To bully their way through life.

Some are born to be saints:

To help those in need and others.

One of those who is helpful is Clarissa. Clarissa is outgoing and fun to be around for sure, but she does what she can to help when one calls for it. She does not complain, and she accepts people with open arms. Whenever someone needs help, she comes around. She will make sure everyone is cared for around her. She has even helped two little boys find a loving home with her family. Clarissa is one of the greatest friends to have and hold.

One of those who are bullies is Florence. Florence goes around, making sure people are nonproductive and unhappy at work. He tries to belittle his coworkers and those who work under him—making them feel insignificant. He will constantly yell in the office acting like a two-year-old boy who is having a tantrum. Florence makes sure to keep face around customers, but even then, sometimes he lets it through. Sometimes, though, one must wonder what Florence went through to become as he had.

One of those who is adventurous is Rachel. Rachel strives to become different each and every day. She loves the outdoors and photography. She would love to be a photographer one day. One of her goals is to go on a nice, long road trip with her family. She tries to eat healthily and to motivate others to do the same. She will explore new foods and new ways to keep her happy. Rachel lives to different and to have fun.

One of those who is productive is Ken. Ken works every day, keeping to the goal of providing for his family and his projects. He strives to be a service leader in the community, and he will be there if you call on him. Ken has excelled in school getting his Master’s degree. It allows him to have a better job in the end. He will work and strive to be better for himself and those around him. Ken works to keep busy.

One of those who lives day by day is Daniel. Daniel feels like there is no purpose, not seeing what others see in him. He coasts through life, not quite understanding what there is to offer. One of the things he will look forward to is when his friends come around, but they cannot always stay. He works and then goes home, never striving to do something different. Ken never sees the light at the end of the tunnel as he buries himself in nothing.

There are all different people who walk around us. One could act a certain way to one group, but then to another group, one would keep a different persona. One could act the same way around everybody. But in the end, everyone has a core value which can be seen. Sometimes, all one should do is look deep enough and see who the person really is.

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
