On Aug 5,2015 at 11:05am Sgt Alivcar and myself we 're conducting ramp searches when we pulled over a white Cadilac STS.

I spotted a bag with numerous items in it and what appeared to be bath salts.
The Addiction Center also states that because of this Greek Life members are more at risk to have substance abuse problems. Drinking is a problem within fraternities mainly because of the party scene. Some people who join Greek Life only view it as a way to partake in wild experiences. They view Greek Life as a way to party, to drink underage, and meet members of the opposite sex. Due to this, the true meaning of what Greek Life is and stands for has become misconstrued, and gets farther from its true meaning with every
Hello again, I am so sorry I’ve emailed you so many times but I would really really like to meet one on one with Gerardo.

Being in college, you experience many new things; one of them being college parties. Attending college parties can be fun, but can you really have fun while being sober? Being a student, alcohol at college parties is served to you like nothing; drink after drink and before you know it you’re down five cups of that mysterious juice. But, why do students like to drink at parties? Most students say they drink to have fun, to lower their shyness, and to enhance their own of sense of attractiveness.
Sometimes, students will even fake being drunk in order to fit in because they feel so judged and out of place (Wade,
As a student of Esko High School, I have come to notice that almost every year there is at least one project or paper that everyone dreads. Freshman year is the three-hundred word vocabulary project; junior year is the American author paper and senior year is the infamous I Search Paper. Throughout the years, I 've been told of how the I Search paper takes a lot of time and effort. When I was asked to go home and think of a few words that I might like to write about I made sure to chose words that I could relate to. The first word that came to mind was love; I wanted to write about love because there is an immense amount of it in the world and we 're all surrounded by it nearly every minute.
A study done through Journal of American College Health found out that “many students overestimate the amount of alcohol their peers consume, and start drinking to the imaginary drinking level” (Carter). Incidents due to misconceptions are common. According to Bloomberg News “more than 60 people have died in fraternity-related incidents” (Friedman). To avoid problems like this, the Greek life itself or advisors/directors can organize “talk sessions”.
It was a hot sunny day. I could hear the footsteps of the person carrying me. Someone traded me for a polished mirror. The man that was carrying me kept complaining about how heavy I was. The man placed me down on the floor next to some other stones.
Over the last fifteen years, I have grown mentally and socially. I credit my growth to my ability to analyze and understand the world for what it is. Social imagination is the use of information to understand the world and ourselves for who we are. Possessing the quality of mind that can develop reason and the capacity to shift perspectives are the basis of social imagination (Mills 2000). As I mentioned in reflection one, I came to realize that my way of thinking is what helped me overcome living a poor lifestyle.
It all started like any other Saturday. Sarah was still sleeping and Barry was mowing the lawn. But then things went a bit off track. The next thing Barry knew he was being held to the ground by an older man with a pistol.
Scott hadn’t seen the old man in quite a long time. He wasn’t upset by this. In fact it made him almost giddy. Every time the old bastard came around more people died, he thought. So, when people around Scott kept dying it occurred to him that he was coming for a visit.
After what seemed like forever, I still heard nothing. I started to think I was hallucinating. And all of a sudden, in the middle of my thinking, I heard someone talking. It didn't sound like anyone I knew- not my mom, dad or even sister. It sounded like something unusual- something like I’ve never heard before and it was coming from my vent.
I took one final glance over at my son his ice cream was almost done melting which meant my identity would soon be revealed. Joseph slammed his hands on the table and stood up everyone except me looked over at him. Out of nowhere Joseph charged at me like a bull fighting a matador and threw me to the floor. Joseph got in one good punch before Penelope and Lilian pulled him off of me. I sat there waiting for someone to help me up the only problem everyone was too busy holding Joseph back forcing me to help myself get back onto my feet.
