My 21st birthday was a wonderful day full of love, attention and excitement. Birthday breakfasts are family traditions that have been around all my life. They are always only family.

Extravagance is abundant at these events. Purple is my favorite color so all the decorations are purple. Dishes are purple with purple flowers as garnishes

I swung my feet as I sat high above the strawberry fields in an oak tree. Below me satyrs played their reed pipes as campers plucked strawberries from their vines. There wasn't much to do around camp today, seeing as it was mostly a lazy day. Chiron had let all the campers take a day off from their activities. We had had an eventful past few days.

What does love even mean? It’s a word that I’ve heard and used all my life but it seems like nobody really has the same definition for it. It’s a simple four letter word so how come it’s so difficult to define and to measure and to understand.

Hazel Dogs are man’s best friend, and sometimes his only. My dog, Hazel was the best thing that ever happened to me. Even though she was an elderly dog, you could often find her acting like a young puppy. She was a beagle/pointer mix and had short, brown, grey, and white hair.

Saying goodbye was one of the hardest things I’ve ever have to do. There were

just went my way. But one year changed my perspective of everything. My elementary days were pretty simple, grades didn’t really matter too much. 5th grade finally came along and I was beyond excited to be the oldest. The school year started out amazing and I was ecstatic with how it was going. Then it all took a terribly wrong turn. First it was my dog, otherwise known as my best friend. Rex had stopped eating for a while and my family grew concerned. They took him into the vet one day while I was
