Hurt To Love, Christa Kaye Jishelle Casidsid

Night Flight: Online Literary Journal

Family dynamics come in many different forms. Some are regarded by society as "healthy," others "toxic," but there are instances where there is a gray line. Once an only child grown to the older sibling, this daughter watches her family relationship. More particularly, she watches her parent that has been there by her side ever since she could remember. "Healthy" or "toxic" are words lost in confusion in her home. She cannot help but feel the pain of the actions and words from the years that built up in her struggle of endurance and martyr sacrifice.

Night Flight: Online Literary Journal

This story is about a group of half-witted teens that embark on their last adventure together before shipping off to basic training. This is an adventure that takes you into the depths of Stephen Foster's song, "Way Down Upon The Suwannee River."

Our secret swimming hole, campfires, old graveyards, first crushes, ghosts, and war set the scene of our last Hoorah! For this band of brothers, it was the end and a new beginning.

Safety Measures, Laura Madeline Wiseman

Zea E-Books Collection

Safety Measures documents a solo cross-country bicycle adventure. After completing a ride across the United States in 2017, from Astoria, Oregon, to Yorktown, Virginia, in 60 days, pedaling 4,200 miles with support, Laura Madeline Wiseman endeavored to ride her bicycle, Lexa, across the country alone.

Untold Stories Of Asl Deprivation: A Collection Of Experiences, Lydia Kopp

Undergraduate University Honors Capstones

Language deprivation is a serious issue in deaf education and in the deaf community. Language deprivation occurs when the child is not exposed to an accessible language within their formative years, which is from birth to five years old. In this Capstone project, real-life experiences of language deprivation specifically on the lack of access to ASL were explored by collected interviews from four adults that were converted into creative nonfiction stories in a biographical style. This project focuses on the effects of ASL deprivation, as opposed to English and any other language. The stories portrayed how different the participants’ experiences …


The Air That Moves Between Us, Maia Lynn Daschke May 2021

The Air That Moves Between Us, Maia Lynn Daschke

Honors Program Theses and Projects

When I enrolled in my first creative nonfiction workshop my junior year of college, I was immediately taken with the genre. I had always loved writing, but I had never written about myself. Growing up I wrote fiction, and as I got older my writing was entirely comprised of academic pieces only. As soon as the nonfiction workshop allowed me to write about myself, I began using writing as a form of therapy and self-help. I was able to work through my feelings on the page and turn my emotional trauma, my regrets, and my embarrassments into artwork, which has …

A Perfect Storm: Nonfiction On The Progression And Regression Of Anxiety, Amanda Guindon

Honors Program Theses and Projects

From the moment I decided to write a creative nonfiction collection of essays for my thesis, I knew that anxiety would be my focus. Mental health awareness is on the uprise as it’s estimated by the National Institute of Mental Health that 31.1% of all United States adults will experience any anxiety disorder in their lives. While I knew anxiety would be an important topic to discuss in order to bring awareness to causes and effects of anxiety, I had no concept of the challenges I would face in portraying my mental health to an audience who may know nothing …
