Flint, Michigan: A River of Lies We live in a world full of fake. Women pose fake images of themselves when they wear makeup, dye their hair, or wear fake nails. This fakeness can pose as a way to make women feel better about themselves and pose as harmless to everyone around them. However, other forms of fakeness can produce extremely harmful effects on people and led to huge problems. When the government qualifies something as “safe,” the people trust the government. The public can follow…

problem. My plan for observation was to go to the locations I picked, and sit and observe. Once I was in these locations I found it much easier to walk around so I could get the accurate descriptions that I wanted. The first spot I observed was Lake Michigan Drive/Pearl Avenue where you get on the ramp for…

Lake Havasu "Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen." -Michael Jordan. This quote tells you that things don’t just come to you. You are going to have to work for them. So when I made my bucket list, I wanted to choose something that I would have to work very hard for. I choose something that is going to mean a lot to me, even if it is the small things. I want to be the person that makes it happen. I would like to do twenty things before I die, but I am…

This assertion is a lesson that I learned first hand when I moved from Tennessee to Michigan at the age of ten. The move pushed me into adolescence, and I transformed into an entirely different person that year. Later down the road when I saw myself headed down the wrong path because of my lack of concern for school, I was reminded of…

As a child, Ernest Hemingway spent his summers on the lakes of northern Michigan. As John O’Connor puts, “If you want to understand the writer, you have to start here. Michigan-era Hemingway is threshold Hemingway -- young and raw, before the fame.” His time spent fishing, hunting, sailing, and swimming had a major influence for Hemingway’s characters…

It's that time of year again and complete mayhem has broken out in the house. The attic door swings open, exploding with a heaping ball of dust. The smell of moth balls emanates throughout the space as a rickety old ladder wobbles back and forth. Suddenly, lawn chairs drop from the hole in the ceiling, followed by box fans, fishing poles, and sleeping bags. The hum of the air compressor vibrates the garage walls as many giant pink flamingos come to life, barricading the kitchen door. The…
