College

Posted by Christopher Cassise in Storytelling - Chase on
I just got accepted to a school in Florida and I was looking forward to going there but reviews on studentreviews.com seem to discourage that. I noticed its at every school that there are many negative reviews that seem to really downgrade the school or any school in that matter. Im confused on trusting what I see and hear or actually experiencing it for myself and making the decision from there.

vase

Posted by Leeann Nguyen in Art - Senior Art - Hull on
This is a picture of my final product. I feel as though it could have been better but because I'm still getting use to the shading and the transparency of the vase i tried my best. I like that i added color to it so that people could tell what it was. I think i could have made my drawing more even with the shape of the vase. I did like this assignment because I was tried of drawing people and drawing items they never change verse drawing a person who can shift and change daily.
Overall I like this picture I drew,i think its one of my best.

I'm freaking out.

Posted by Melissa Buchanico in Storytelling - Chase on
I got a 67 on my math benchmark.
WHAT THE HELL
HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN.
I KNOW EVERYTHING THAT WAS ON IT.
TAYLOR EVEN CHECKED IT.
I SWEAR TO GOD. I'M GOING TO HAVE A PANIC ATTACK.
 
This is why I curse everyone out in the hallways that bump into me, and get frustrated with all of my work.
This is a disgrace. I can't even tell my parents. I'm going to start crying more than I already am.
I can't breathe.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.

Ugh.
I hate school. This sucks.
The one thing I actually put time into and I get a 67.
Fuck this.

before i fall asleep :/

Posted by Patricia Parker in Storytelling - Chase on
everything got gloomy once i walked back in the house
the stares were cold, the answers were bitter
it was almost like for the entire weekend i was dreaming
an ofcourse i wasnt but the freedom was given to me
the laughter came like thunder throughout all 3 days
and i was happy
so happy that when i came back
it felt wrong
it felt like i wasnt supposed to be here
better yet, like it was almost time for me to leave
and find new things

this will always be my home though.



Home Again.

Posted by Davonte Martin in Storytelling - Chase on
I'm back home from Penn State and being there has been one of the best experiences of my life. I love everything about Penn State during my visit, the atmosphere, students, parties, food, school spirit, etc. There are so many things to do at Penn State. I'm counting down the days until I'm back on Penn State's campus !

Friday Night, Saturday and Sunday

Posted by Oliver Dzierzewicz in Storytelling - Chase on
Friday: ​Alrighty well work was butt. I mean like really, washing the toilet, cleaning pretty much the whole store. Butt. Its all because the owner was coming on Saturday and honestly I think he could care less how the inside of a bathroom would look like especially if it isnt that dirty. So working on a Friday evening, ugh I need to take some days off.

Saturday: Blah work, food, nap, homework, Saturday over, lolwut

Sunday: ^

Advice

Posted by Taylor Valentine in Storytelling - Chase on
"You see, Taylor, Yale and Harvard are like Harley Davidsons.  They are the treasure of Americanism and everyone is taught to aspire to them.  The problem is that Suzuki and Yamaha have created better engines and higher performance bikes.  I would take a Jesuit institution over an Ivy League any day. But that's just me.. "

"Ok.. I'm not sure I understand motorcycles that well, though."

The City Sounds Like...

Posted by Onjelique Jackson in Storytelling - Chase on

 

The city sounds like

Raaaauu Raaauuu Raaauu

Bittadatdatdat Bittadatdatdat

Guns Fire, ambulance, police, Fire Fighting, People Fighters

The city sounds like

“Oh baby you’d do it if you love me”

And

“It don’t feel the same with one on baby, so do it to me slowly”

The city sounds like

Babies crying dying and “Honey I just ‘came out’ to my family”

The city sounds like

Thighs rubbing together with slurpings of Sprite from McDonalds with a side of a Big Mac

The city sounds like

“Can I have some change please, please I gotta feed my family”

“Trick give me my money by tomorrow or I’ll cut yo ass!”

The city sounds like

Empty promises from crack feigning mothers like

“Afternoon delight

Try not to fright baby you know I love you

Now sleep

Sleep and don’t worry about me

Hopefully I’ll see you in the morning

And if I get to see the sun again

I’ll give you the world…

I promise”

The city sounds like

(Mouthing) “Can you hear me?”

(Motioning: banging on glass) “Can you hear me?”

(Whisper): “Can you hear me?”

(Normal tone): “Can you hear me?”

(Yelling): “Can you hear me?! I will no longer go unheard by those who oppress and depress me!”

(Normal tone): “Can you hear me?”

(Whisper): “Can you hear me?”

(Mouthing) “Can you hear me?”

The city sounds like

“Extra Extra read all about it! Paris Hilton Finally gets some talent, Oprah gains 60 pounds for the 80th time, Saw 93 in theaters now near you! World Peace continues to get pushed back and ‘shit like’ news continues to get front pages and Top Stories.

Extra Extra Gossip all about it!”
The city sounds like

‘Ziiippp’ “Ok Big daddy, you got what you wanted, that’ll be $200 baby…cash or credit?”

The city sounds like

A life undone

With obstacles and trials

Victory and the overcoming

Without this the city, your life would be nothing

The city sounds like

A life well done

Differences in prices:1920's Vs. 2011

Posted by Elona Myftaraj in American History - Laufenberg on
​Primary sources:

 

I chose to focus on cars, shoes and food because I thought those would be the most interesting. First the car advertising;

As you can see the advertizing techniques, car models, car types, shapes sizes, have all changed but I think that what has changed the most is the prices.

Depending on the type of car the prices for new cars average between 15,000$ and well into the millions while in the 1920’s the average cost for new cars was  $240 which is about $2,696 today.

 

Next up the shoes:

                                                                                                                       1920’s Vs. 2011

Again I looked at the prices of each item and found that the prices of designer shoes in the 1920’s were valued at no more the 50$ while the prices for designer shoes today average between 100$ to well over 50,000$




And last but not least Food:

                                                                    1920’s Vs. 2011


Screen shot 2011-03-27 at 6.21.55 PM


You can clearly see the difference the 1920’s have all of the meats, fruits, and vegetables in one place, while 2011 everything is separated by category to avoid contamination and all are well refrigerated and covered, while in the 1920’s everything is placed out on a table.
