Real Life 101 Everyone in high school anticipates the last day of their senior year. The day when high school is over and “real life” begins. I felt this day was the day I could be on my own. Get a full time job to support myself. Have no one telling me what to do or how to live. I could finally control my won life. Then it hit me. I can’t live a comfortable life without a college education. The first thing I did after graduation was to go out and find a real job. I was sick of school and I just

Not coincidentally, her life experiences and philosophies are also recognizable in the characters of some of her works. “Every Day Use” (Walker) is one such story which contains many parallels to the author’s real life experiences and exposes the reader, at least in part, to Alice Walker’s background as well as some of her thoughts and views on a range of topics.

Most of them run from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. with reruns starting at 5 p.m. We watch them because they give us something to do, a way to relax, something to help pass the time.
