One of my alltime favorite things to do is run! I have always been a very active girl, but when I lived with my parents, it was always a directed activity. I would run when I played sports like basketball, soccer, or track. Now that I am in college, there is not many activities like this that I have time for. Consequently, up until my senior year, I did not do much physical activity. This year I am living with two other runners. We decided that, to help lose weight, we would wake up every morning and run before our classes started. This was extremely hard at first, because the last thing I wanted to do was get up at 6am out of my warm bed and begin to run. Nonetheless, I set my alarm, dragged myself out of bed, drank a cup of coffee, ate an orange, and just began to run. We would run all around campus. Once I got out of the door, this was such a fun activity for me because campus is so sirene in the morning. There is no one around and it is still dark out. Campus looks like a ghost town and the little lights coming from all of the buildings is really cool looking. Before long, we were waking up earlier and earlier because we wanted to run for much longer periods of time. When I run, I feel like I could go on forever because even though it can be difficult, you still feel like you are challenging yourself. It is also silent when I run, which is great because it allows me to think about anything I want to think about. I think that people are so busy with day to day life that they never take time to just sit back and think. When I run I can sort out all of my feelings and pull my thoughts together. It is the best way to relax and get exercise in at the same time. Now that we are in the winter months, it is hard for me to run inside, but I am still trying. Hopefully spring comes sooner rather than later and I can get back out there to do what I love to do!!

I, Homework, have known Emma LeBlanc for over 15 years. At the beginning of our relationship, things seemed really well. We met at school and she was excited every time I got to go home with her. She would show me off to her parents, spend a lot of time on me, and then carefully take me to school with her. As the years went on, our friendship did not really change much and there weren’t really ups and downs. Sometimes she would forget about me, but for the most part, she would bring me back to the school where I belong.

During our high school days, she was pretty good with me except for the last year, which we called “Senior Year.” I sustained emotional abuse because she constantly would forget about me. She yelled at me on a number of occasions telling me that I was “worthless and stupid.” However, I kind of blew off the situation and forgot about it because I thought maybe it was just a rough spot in her life. I followed her to college because, after all, we had already spent the majority of our lives together. The first year, I was treated pretty well and she always made time for me. After our freshmen year is where it all went downhill.

I was soon replaced with someone named Bar, and often feared for my life after Emma would come home from hanging out with him. On several occasions, I was thrown against the wall or simply left to sit by myself for days on end. She would walk right past me and eat Jimmy John’s or Pita Pita, letting the crumbs drop all over me. Emma has recently told me that she hates me, and that after this year, she is gladly never going to hang out with me again. She tells all of her friends that we have a love/hate relationship because she loves to hate me. I cannot take this abuse any longer.
