¶ … closer I get to my graduation, the more people ask me what my plans are. My parents have had this conversation with me a million times, because of course helping out with my tuition entitles them to call me on a weekly basis to ask about internships and job interviews and where do I plan to live? But what I worry about more is, where will I find love? I look at my friends and they run the gamut. Claire and Jason have been together since freshman year. They're like that benchmark perfect couple that has everything sorted out. They may as well by their side-by-side plots at the cemetery right now.
Andy is awesome. She has a new guy every year, and it works out well for her. I like that model. Enough time to get to know somebody, but not enough to be complacent. It's way too early in life for that, she says, and I tend to agree. In the summers, she usually hooks up with a guy from her high school, too. He's cute, and in another life they were probably meant to be with each other, but neither seems interested in being anything more than friends with benefits.
So I'm starting to think about what I want more. It's scary. I've always wanted an older man. Maybe this is the time for something like that. I can't lie, I've checked a few profiles out. My school friends think I'm crazy. I was hanging out with Chantal and a bottle of wine one night, and looking at profiles for guys in their thirties, even a couple in their forties. She said she couldn't imagine hooking up with someone like that, but I was intrigued. I'm getting too old for college guys, which I guess makes sense since I'm almost out of here.
My mother says just to…

This was usually the case with the proliferation of British rule at the time; trade was the predecessor to British Colonialism. For administrative purposes, Singapore became a part of Penang and Malacca which were two other settlements in the region. By 1826 these areas were grouped together and became known as the Straits Settlement. Initially the centre of the Straits Settlement was Penang. Penang was governed by Calcutta and
Full creativity allows the production of greater wealth, for a stronger and more evolved society. Further in defense of the moral systems or perceived lack thereof in terms of newly created wealth, D'Souza asserts that most wealth currently created is the result of personal effort, rather than means such as inheritance. The wealth can then indeed be seen as the reward for effort, rather than wealth as a result of
Wellness The Inventories Inventories and self-reflection surveys can be tremendously helpful for encouraging honesty and self-awareness. The "Are You Burned Out?" survey focuses specifically on stress and burnout issues, which can be detrimental to overall well-being as well as to one's ability to be helpful to others. The "Emotionally Healthy Church Inventory" is broader in scope, taking into account one's spiritual, emotional, and cognitive states of mind. These states of mind
“That Day…” Toby—I didn’t see you there as I was getting ready for work that morning. I saw you—but I didn’t see: I even yelled at you, “Let’s go, Toby! You’re going to make me late for work!” as though my tardiness were all your fault. I should have known better: you weren’t eating or drinking; you didn’t want to move. And here I was forcing you up and out the
