The old cottage, with its wildly overgrown garden, was silent, secretive. You wouldn't of known that someone lived there. In fact a 44 year old kind women. She has lived in Taxchester, Michigan her whole life. Everybody's family went into the mining business . Yes accidents happen but she never thought it would happen to her. Bonnie Wilson was Very happy until her husband died. After that she really had lost everything that had value. She slowly started over buying stuff with what money she had, slowly filling up her cottage. If you were to walk in and live there you would get sick within the first night. For the 25 years that Bonnie has lived there she hasn't got sick once. Her sister is starting to worry about her and Bonnie won't let her help.

One day Bonnie's sister Bethany shows up to the cottage to attempt to help her sister. Bethany walks up to the door and knocks three times. Bonnie never comes to the door so she knocks another three times. There was still no answer so she turns the rusty door knob and tries to walk in. Crawling over all the junk in the hall way she makes her way towards whats left of the kitchen. She finds her sister sitting there drinking a cup of coffee.

"Oh Bethany! I didn't hear you come in!"

"It's okay sis I was just coming to check on you."

"Well clearly you can see that I am fine."

Bethany has a shocked look on her face. How can Bonnie possibly be fine living in a place like this? Right then Bethany knew there was only one option left to do. She had to kidnap her sister and keep her out of this cottage. She went to her sister and picked her up then attempted to carry her sister out of there. She ignored the hitting and kicking her sister was doing and put her in her car seat belting her tight. Because Bonnie is so weak she couldn't get out. Her sister than drover her to a mental ward wear Bonnie was never to be seen again.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
