The following account is based on true events and took place the evening of March 12 into the morning of March 13, 1987 at NYU’s Bobst Library. While the names of those involved have been changed to protect their identities, this is their story. Good luck.

We enter the library at about ten o’clock, and go straight upstairs to the top floor. Our usual study spot for midterms and finals. It’s out of the way and other than ourselves, no freshman have ever gone this high up in the library I don’t think. We have food and some drinks and all the books we need for an all nighter before our economics test the next day. Like usual, it’s me, Kevin, Jordan, Katie, and Alexis. I live with Kevin and Jordan and the girls live across the hall. We became friends when we realized we had many of the same classes last semester and kept it that way for this one too. But enough about that.
We got up to our usual spot and started working. Everyone had their chapter to learn and then we all came together and shared. It was the perfect system. Until the PA clicked on announcing that the upper floors would be closing for cleaning. The girls wanted to move downstairs but we were comfortable so we had a choice:
Turn to (A) to stay upstairs or (B) to move downstairs.
(A) We convinced them to stay and got back to work, expecting a janitor to come ask us to move at some point. That’s when we first heard the noise. It came from somewhere down below but looking over the rail down into the lobby, we saw nothing. Eventually we got back to work, finishing off the pizza, and cracking open a few beers to help pass the time. By two in the morning, we were starting to get tired but agreed to work until we were asked to leave. Jordan and Alexis ...

...t my back as I sprinted across the lobby. Katie was still struggling with the doors and I got there just in time to help her force one open and escape to the outside where men in hazmat suits and soldiers were waiting. We were told of the virus that was accidentally released and the effects it had as we were examined and vaccinated. END
(H) The museum is quiet as usual, but there are no people in the corners sleeping or studying. We venture further into the room, past the creepy head statues, and that’s when we here Katie screaming from the lobby. We turn to run back to her but as we do, Kevin is grabbed by something from above. I don’t even want to know what it was so just keep going and make it into the lobby just in time to see Katie, kneeling in the center of the room, Jordan and Alexis standing over her. Should I (I) run to Katie or (J) run for the door.
The intentions of Nanabush within the story are good, but in the process of achieving his goals he creates a lot of mischief in the surrounding community creating a bad outcome. Nanabush’s intentions involve helping Maggie, and because he is so infatuated with Maggie Nanabush definitely has no intentions of hurting Maggie. Nanabush had made a big promise with Lilian to bring magic into Vergil’s life, and many of the things he does are to fulfill this promise, but in the process stirs up many problems within the community. When Wayne and Vergil get involved they are rather aggressive, and because of Virgil’s Blindness to the truth he is convinced that Nanabush is bad, and that he must be stopped. Although this was to honor a promise Nana bush has just made himself more trouble. Nanabush’s Intentions are good, honoring a promise with Lilian, and helping Maggie, however his actions produce bad effects on the community at times like Wayne, and Vergil’s actions which oppose Nanabush, and slow himself from completing his own goals.
1. What is the difference between a. and a. Elizabeth from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is bright, direct, and unapologetic. Throughout the novel she proves to have her aspirations and goals clear and will not settle for any less. She refuses proposals from men in high places who would more than likely raise her hierarchal status, simply because the men would not make her happy. Austen makes it very clear that Elizabeth sets herself apart.
And close it up. The “Help! Help!” I yelled inside the locker. I hear Priscilla’s boots slapping down the hallway, and I hear Melvin thanking her for saving me.
Yosseff Gutfreund heard scratches at the door of the first apartment and went to see what the noise was. As he ap...

I did not hear anything while I was here. Someone did open the bathroom windows and it was cold so I shut it. I had to pick up Lauren's CCE door dec and I put it back on her door.
Clarice and I decided that we were going to do our assignment on Hialeah campus on a Friday morning. The building from Hialeah campus has four floors an it gets really busy when students get out of class to go their next class. We first, when to the elevator and practice when it was not busy, we analyzed where we were going to stand when people come the elevator one of us was going to be in the corner and the other one in from of the door facing the people. I decided to go first, we both got out of the elevator in the first floor, we waited for people to star coming to the elevator. Two girls come to wait for the elevator. I told Clarice to get phone ready that we were going with these two girls, we waited also for the elevator, the elevator come the doors open Clarice enter the elevator first pretending she was texting she when to the corner with the
In this movie, a group of five students who are part of very different cliques are stuck together in Saturday detention. However, little did they know that aside their differences, they would discover each other’s personal feelings and through their similarities, develop friendships.
I was strolling down the hallway, trying to figure out where my class would be, when I bumped into a girl. “Oh goodness! I am so sorry. I wasn 't looking," she said and bent down to grab my file and books even before I could. I sighed and replied, “No, it 's fine." I wiped the sweat, which I had accumulated from walking all over the school, off my forehead. She stood up and handed me my books. I realized she was also a freshman by her orange colored uniform. She flipped her hair and said while grinning," Let me introduce myself. I 'm Natasha. I 'm from Canada so I don 't really know much about this town. How about you?" Even though I had never met her before, I could tell she seemed nice so I introduced myself. I had to make a judgment to decide whether to befriend the girl or not. Little did I know this stranger was
Seven thirty in the morning, confused, and gazing at my first experience of college I had no idea what this semester would have in store for me. Within the second story of Vawter Hall about fifty to a hundred students are crowding the hall awaiting the arrival of their professors. I was no different; unlike these other chatty energetic individuals I was alone, and desperate to get this first day over with. At eight o’clock bells chime through the building and the students have now dwindled down to those who I will later come to know as classmates and those few who had overslept on the first day. Eight fifteen, the little crowd starts to stir; the professor has still yet to arrive. Around eight twenty a woman with short cut hair arrives in a hurried manner, clearly upset to have arrived after her students. However, to her surprise, and those of her students, the door was
I nervously opened the doors to my future, hoping for the best for myself. At first, I believed departing to class would be simple, but when the bell rang for the first time I had no idea what class room goes where and how busy the halls were going to be. Suddenly, the entire world around me scrambled to class, and on occasions bumping each other along the way; it was a widespread panic for most of the freshmen. Fortunately, I found some wonderful teachers to direct me to my rooms that I will spend the next year
It's your freshman year of high school. You walk through the halls and notice that you can barely find anyone from your freshman class. All you can see are these older kids that you had never noticed before. It feels like everyone is watching your every move. Suddenly you run into an older boy in front of you because you were too busy looking at your feet trying to dodge eye contact. Your books are now on the hallway floor and so are you. You scramble to grab them before anyone notices, but just as you look up you meet eyes with the older boy. He smiles and helps you regain your composure. Then you both walk your separate ways down the hallway.
It was a 2014 lightly snowy Sunday evening and I had just returned back to Cabrini for my spring semester as a freshman, but I wasn’t sure the time I had returned into my dorm room and who had helped me unpack my belongings (it was either my mom or dad). Since it was considered to be a new year, it was one of my goals to be less shy in class and begin to be
When I first got to the classroom the students were doing a listening exercise and had to answer same question the teacher wrote on the board. At a certain time they all were allowed to go to the bathroom. Each student was given a responsibility in the classroom.
First of all, there are roughly only 800 students in my entire school, from kindergarten up to upperclassmen and women, and my graduating class of a mere 67 was the biggest in my school's history. So you were forever running into everyone you knew, and who you had known for your whole life. At times this was comforting, at others, slightly claustrophobic. After a while it was easy to feel that you knew practically everyone's middle name or favorite movie, and it was impossible to...
