Like a dog that goes by itself to die, that is what my grieving process was compared to, by my best friend; that I go away and cry silently, and then talk about it. I never thought of myself like that. Right now though, there’s something comforting to me about writing, about seeing letters andContinue reading “Death on an autumn day”

My Brothers
My brothers often ask me what was the best day of my life; they smile sweetly waiting for me to say the day they were born. Really I’d have to say one of the best days of my life was before that-the day I found out they’d be coming to join me. I had beenContinue reading “My Brothers”
Love never fails
Love “beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.” 1 Corinthians 13:7 “Love never fails” Love, every person seems to have their own definition or interpretation of this word. It’s interesting to think that perhaps we could have never existed yet here we are, being. We are privileged enough to live,Continue reading “Love never fails”

A Week of Dodging and Trying to Find People
By: Gabriela Yareliz Gonzalez It’s been a week of trying to gain composure, learning to avoid people, staying awake to study for tests and walking up to people to interrogate them as sources. From the beginning of the week, Student Government campaigners were all over the place trying to talk to people, four at a time, as others were trying to getContinue reading “A Week of Dodging and Trying to Find People”

By: Gabriela Yareliz Gonzalez So I was reading in the October 19, 2009 New Yorker Magazine, the article/essay by Rebecca Mead about Alloy Entertainment books. Today I was at a bookstore browsing around. I sadly walked out with only a LSAT prep book but when IContinue reading “What is There to Read?”
The Things That Don’t Change at Christmas Time
So they were giving out free Origin of Species books at Turlington Plaza (right in the middle of the University of Florida campus) and Prof. Sinan Ciddi says: “This is great, I mean you can give this to someone you hate for Christmas and it was free, and you’ll look really smart”. Christmas timeContinue reading “The Things That Don’t Change at Christmas Time”
Princess vs. Feminist
Which one should win out? By: Gabriela Yareliz Gonzalez I once heard a story about newlyweds, a man who said he’d get the living room packed up and moved and she wouldn’t have to move a finger. The next day came and he got tied up in something and asked for her help moving coffeeContinue reading “Princess vs. Feminist”
Battles of Control
The tricks we try and how they can fail. By: Gabriela Yareliz Gonzalez This past Christmas season, I was in terror at the thought of the mall. It wasn’t the overload of people or the uncertainty of certain purchases; it was the group of aggressive sale merchants that linger between stores sometimes stalking youContinue reading “Battles of Control”
Autumn
Cold and wet early one morning, when one walked it was through mists and fog, the wind,compassionless. A blustering autumn day. Walking past old brick buildings, decored with iron railings and dim lamp posts that flicker if one looked, one would realize one was standing in the midst of an end- Golden wet leaves quiveredContinue reading “Autumn”
