Drifting: An Unappreciated Sport, Mandeep Sethi Feb 2024

Drifting: An Unappreciated Sport, Mandeep Sethi

ENGL 1101 Showcase

When people think of drifting, they usually think about the movie, Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift. This movie ended up spurring a lot of misconceptions on what drifting actually is. Drifting is considered more of an organized legal sport than an illegal underground activity as projected in the movie. A great example of this could be scoped in throughout Georgia, particularly more north of Atlanta.

A Day In My “Mostly” Lazy Life, Jonathan Yi Feb 2024

A Day In My “Mostly” Lazy Life, Jonathan Yi

ENGL 1101 Showcase

I managed to wake up early that day on the surprisingly uncomfortable bed, or what is more accurately described as an itchy mattress laying on barren wooden frames, that I slept on in my room. This was practically a miracle, as I had gone to sleep past midnight, as I usually do. I still somehow managed to miss all the birds singing in the morning, or perhaps it was so early that I had woken up before the birds, which is even more unlikely.

A Day In The Life Of Luke Strickland, Luke M. Strickland Feb 2024

A Day In The Life Of Luke Strickland, Luke M. Strickland

ENGL 1101 Showcase

My eyes slowly opened. Daylight was streaming through my dorm room window. I rolled over onto my back underneath my warm blankets and glanced over to my roommate’s bed. He was still asleep. I flipped my phone over to check the time. One press of the home button woke it up, revealing my black-and white lock screen. It was still a little over a half an hour before I needed to get up, so I just lay there in bed, thinking about what to do. Going back to sleep crossed my mind, but I decided against it, I was already …

A Day In The Life, Malachi Brooks

ENGL 1101 Showcase

Waking up to the sound of my dog barking at 7:34 in the morning is not ideal, but when he needs to go outside, he makes it known. With my zombie like movement, I start to walk to the backdoor as i’m still trying to wake up, my energetic yorkie starts doing circles around me panting the closer I get to the door. Once I open the door the cold breeze hits me immediately as I am wearing white and black shorts with an old black t-shirt of Michael Jackson’s “Bad” album cover.

Truffle Cakes: A Family Tradition, Sam Haygood

ENGL 1101 Showcase

What looks to be an ordinary chocolate cake sits unassumingly on a plate, but as the spoon pushes in for the first bite, it cracks through the outer crust of the cake and unexpectedly sinks into the center. Something special is about to come. As the spoon pulls out, the cake appears to be almost melting off the edge, and the prospect of waiting to eat it seems near impossible. This is the experience of my family’s best special occasion dessert, the truffle cake.

Braedon's Day, Braedon Baker

ENGL 1101 Showcase

The sound of my 7:00 a.m. alarm brought me back to consciousness and out of my dreams. My mouth was parched, making my desire to fall right back asleep irrelevant. The water felt healing as it went down. I got up in a daze, struggling to find my way to the small orange dot indicating the light switch in my dorm room. A singular bulb illuminated the entire room, blinding me briefly. With my vision returned, I twisted off the top of the smooth glass container to obtain one of my morning supplements. Moringa to start, then comes the probiotics, …

I scroll on my phone watching TikTok’s repeatedly for a while until the constant scrolling and different sounds gets annoying and I then play music by Feid to get ready. I make my way down three flights of stairs, walk out the University Village suites, and walk past …

An Ordinary Day Of Sheldon Jerome Downing Ii’S Life At Marietta High School, Sheldon Jerom Downing Ii

ENGL 1101 Showcase

I am jarred awake by the piercing mechanical sounds of a pinball rattling away in a pinball machine. Every few seconds, a flurry of concussive noises plays. As I face the ceiling, I try to ignore it, still tired after 5 inadequate hours of rest. I bargain with the consequences of just hitting the Stop button on my phone and retreating to the covers. Then I sigh when I realize that not only had I not checked how much time I had, but it was also hot. No, it was unbearably hot. The reality that spring was now summer and …

The Average Tuesday, Tucker Johnson

ENGL 1101 Showcase

The numbers on the screen read that it was 8:30. Just a few moments ago I was awoken by a sudden alarm from my phone. I stared at the screen and a scowl formed on my face. I knew that my 8:00 alarm had not awoken me or if the 8:00 alarm even worked. Anyway, I unplugged my grey rectangle from its long, white charger. I sat up in my bed with my brown and orange blanket still covering me. I looked forward towards the wall.

The sun shines through my curtains, with its light waking me up from my sleep. The feeling of being able to wake up naturally through sunlight is something that I’m going to miss. Being awoken by an alarm and the greasiness and unpleasantness that comes with it is something I’m not looking forward to. The first thing I do when I wake up is grab my phone. I then check the group chat I have with my friends for making plans. I’m normally the one now that urges to make plans. This summer I’ve lived a carefree life that’s out …

ENGL 1101 Showcase

As my alarm blares at 8:30 a.m. on a cold autumn morning, I groan and reluctantly open my eyes. My bed is entrapping me in its warmth, and the thought of getting up feels like a betrayal to my body. I look around my room and see a soft, golden hue as the sun peeks through the blinds. I lay in my bed contemplating, “Should I get up for class? Or should I go back to bed?” Just as I start to drift back to sleep, the roar of leaf blowers echoes outside. The ear-piercing sound cuts through the silence, …

How To Do A Muscle Up, Youssef Moussa Feb 2024

How To Do A Muscle Up, Youssef Moussa

ENGL 1101 Showcase

Calisthenics is a form of strength training in which you master your body weight. Some examples are push-ups, sit ups, and pullups. The more advanced version of the pullup is the muscle up, where you pull yourself completely over the bar. It may sound easy to think about, but it takes people months or years to be able to do it. A muscle up uses all your upper body, starting with the motion of a pullup and then turning it into a dip to lift your upper body above the bar. Many compositions teach “How to do a muscle up”, …

Chitterin’ Lichts: Text And Intertext In Sangschaw And Penny Wheep, Patrick Crotty Feb 2024

Chitterin’ Lichts: Text And Intertext In Sangschaw And Penny Wheep, Patrick Crotty

Studies in Scottish Literature

The essay takes a new look at an old subject, the role of dictionaries in Hugh MacDiarmid’s so-called ‘early lyrics’. While demonstrating that the poet’s exploration of the lexicographical remains of Scots was more thorough-going and systematic than previous accounts have suggested, it positions his recourse to dictionaries in the intertextual habit that links the lyrics both to the English sonnets and prose sketches of the young Christopher Grieve and the encyclopaedic long poems to which MacDiarmid turned after abandoning Scots in the 1930s. The article attends in particular to the wide-angle allusiveness of Sangschaw and Penny Wheep, arguing that …

Safety And Academic Outcomes Of College Campus-Based Advocacy Services, Rachel J. Voth Schrag, Elizabeth Baumler, Dixie Hairston, Cynthia Jones, Leila Wood

Philosophy Faculty Publications and Presentations

Intimate partner violence (IPV), sexual assault, and stalking are consequential public health and safety issues with wide reaching impacts on emerging adults, including those on college campuses in the United States. In response to high rates of violence among college student populations, universities are developing campus-based advocacy (CBA) programs, which aim to support survivors of interpersonal violence through supportive connections, resource acquisition, and safety planning. However, little data exists related to their impact on key student-survivor outcomes. Thus, this study aims to understand (a) the approach CBA programs use to address safety and academic concerns of student-survivors, and (b) the …
