Syrup of Ipecac
The "Apothecary's Night Remedy"; a cure-all drug for poisonings is what the Syrup of Ipecac is known for back in the year of 1965. Ipecac can go by many names, such as: "road-side sick-making plant" (translated from the Tupi language), Carapichea ipecacuanha, Brazil Root, Brazilian Ipecac, or any forms stemming from the plant species of Elderberry. It can mainly be found in the countries of Nicaragua, Rio, Panama, Brazil, and Cartagena.

That Someone Else
“… but I have no ride home, Jasmine.” As I laid there in my bed, I was trying to convince myself to drift back off into my afternoon nap. I put Buddy on hold while I checked my phone; April 2014, 12:04 PM. "Well, there goes my nap," I thought to myself.

Where Am I?
...My pads have shown red from where I had walked; but still, they refused to turn black… ---------- Cold… so cold, it has been on one winter's eve night as Yachiru Hinamari travelled on foot to the neighboring town of Himigato. Staggering in weight, she treads through the snow leaving a trail of uneven footprints behind her. "It's s-so c-c-cold," Yachiru said to herself and pulled her blanket tighter over her face, "b-but Ta-kun's family is waiting for me. I cannot give up now." Yachiru kept moving forward as the sudden snowfall began to pick up.

When Texting Turns Sexual
If it has mutual consent, then is sending nude or lewd text messages still considered legal? Many teenagers believe that they are safe to say and send whatever they want through instant messaging, but when does that naïve feeling of security begin to harm reality? Sexting is the sharing of pictures or choice words, via technology, that exploits the body or mindset of the sender to its intended or unintentional receivers (Dictionary.com, “Sexting”). A survey in the year 2012 has proved that roughly twenty percent of male and female students in high school have sent out nude or raunchy text messages and photographs, and over twenty-five percent of that same group of students have resent the same photographs and suggestive text messages on to other children (Ackerman, p. 22). Most children over the age ten are engaging in risk-taking when they send out those types of instant messages, because majority of them do not realize the consequences of their actions. Sexting is harmful because it has long-term effects, it authorizes the approval of public access, and it introduces a mild form of pornography.

We all can admit that we do not know how to use these following word/phrases properly. We will stand up and proudly claim to be full-fledged Americans, and yet we barely know how to speak our own language. Do not worry! Here is a little pick-me-up emergency tip guide to keep handy in your back pocket. I know some of the titles may be a little tacky, so just please bear with me and enjoy a quick laugh.

Reverse Harem (Pt.1)
Some people will say that my life was pretty great. I have an A-average in high school, a college degree, currently a working girl at The Smoothie Shack, oh and most importantly, somehow I manage to get every guy in Seaside Heights, New Jersey on my arm. Yeah, everyone says that I have it all, and nearly everything I can ever want! I guess that is true; to them at least. I was never really anything special to look at. But still, I do not see how all of this attention is a good thing. In fact, it drives me crazy. The last thing I want to do is to get caught up in other people’s feelings, but lately, it seems that the only feelings I am getting caught up in are my own…

From Queen Bee To Breaking Up
Prelude I never thought that my life would turn out like this. Five months ago to the date, I was a completely predictable version of myself. Now, I do not know even know exactly who I am anymore. But, let me backtrack to about three years ago and explain how I came to be this way. This is the story of how I survived living in the negative spacing…
