Bad habits
Stampede: Greatest Show on Earth
Stampede is the biggest event in my hometown. The smell of deep fried foods waft through the air, suddenly cowboy boots and shoes appear in store windows, downtown is covered in comical drawings of the Midwest. The atmosphere of Calgary does a 180 turn from people afraid to talk to one another to excitement. Stampede means summer is actually here. The weather turns undeniably hot and with the combination of buzzing food trucks; the temperature rises. The world looks different. For one thing, I love the excuse to wear my cowboy boots that are stashed away in the back of my closet. Secondly, going to the concerts are worth saving every penny. Thirdly, the food! Weird food ideas such as deep friend pickles or mustard and ketchup ice cream can be only found at the Stampede. The early and free stampede breakfasts at random grocery stores or parking lots fill up with people waiting to get their pancakes and maple syrup with a side of sausage. The carnival rides and games are all excitement and fun. This sounds like a good time doesn’t it?

Thoughts or Fiction. Content Warning.
Does some people really do bad things on purpose? I often think of doing bad things, but I don't do them because I know it will hurt people. So does people really do bad things knowing it's bad and it will hurt people? Why? There's only one reason that would compel me to hurt someone and is if someone hurt one of my loved ones. Otherwise, they're not worth the trouble. Why would I hurt someone who's beneath my hatred?

Despite psychic sites being labeled “For Entertainment Purposes Only”, most fans take their psychic readings VERY seriously. Many were so impatient to hear good news that they would call one or more psychics several times a week, spending thousands of dollars yearly calling psychic lines.

Unfortunate Life
The episode starts with Hope coming out of her fully prepared room, checks her makeup briefly, and then finds the driver waiting outside for her. She rushes down because she is getting late and sits in the car, saying, "I am getting late." The driver reassures her, "We will be there in time," and starts the car. Meanwhile, at the college, she arrives, and every student looks at the car and exclaims, "The Principal is here." She steps out of the car, wearing a white shirt, white tight pants, black heels, and a ponytail hairstyle. Every girl gets jealous of her and remarks, "She is so hot, isn't she?" The boys chime in, saying, "She is hot, but she's the Principal," and then, in Class B-37, the guys Sumeet, Kabir, Arnav, and Aanchal are sitting and chatting while Sanjay enters the room.

An Open letter. Content Warning.
You probably don't want to hear from me; I don't want to hear from you. However, I had some words in my heart that I knew had to be let free. Words that I can't hold in anymore, nor do I want to try. We had so much going for us; there was friendship and genuine love. There was an openness that I had felt with others, but thought was new with you. Some fights always made me think I would lose you, so I clung when we fought, scared to let go, thinking you'd go.
