What Would They Say About Me?
Harley Kearney

I have always wondered what my print would look like on the world. How would I be remembered? Would my friends and family miss me? Would they tell strangers about the crazy memories we shared? Or would they tell them about my good heart and how I would give my shirt off my back just to help someone in need? I hope that they will go to strangers and tell them how I tried to change the world. The reason why I joined the army. Tell them about how I would sleep for hours and be cranky waking up. That you can try to wake me up four times and I will still fall back to sleep. Or how I would laugh with my best friend Emily for hours on end just because of something stupid I did.

I wonder if you will tell them about my dreams of being in the SVU and flying in helicopters. How I will change my job career seven times and drove you crazy, but yet I still stuck with psychology and the Army. Will you tell them about my procrastination? Will you tell the stranger about getting my heartbroken yet I still will find the good in people. Make sure you tell them about my work ethic and how I will make sure the job gets done no matter the obstacles that pop up. I hope you tell them about my smile because it is KILLER and my eyes they will win over anyone's heart. Most importantly tell them about the love I gave and the dreams I had and how I wanted to make an impact in this whole scary world.

If I have kids tell them how I was growing up, tell them every memory you have of me, tell them how much I wanted them and how much I loved them. Tell them how much I care about them, tell them everything you can think of, tell about my parents, my friends. I woke up one day and my dad was gone, I woke up and my two best friends were never coming back. I want to hear the stories of my father. How I have his eyes, his smile, his hair, I want to hear about the stories of him growing up. People ask about my tattoos, and the stories come out. I tell the strangers about you dad, and about you Colton. I tell them about the love you gave me, how you stayed up till 4 am to talk to me, I tell them about the love I have for you. That you are my best friend and you are always here. So to my friends and family tell the strangers about me.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

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?
