Why I Think People are so addicted to video games

         The reason I am writing about this is because I have personal experience with addiction and I’m sure that’s why you decided to read this. It's because you are currently or recently dealing with this addiction. A video game addiction.


Now you may or may not have similar questions as I have like why can’t I quit or if I do why do I have a feeling of loss. Well most likely you can’t click that wipe button because if you are like me you’ve played that game a lot and you have a lot of cool things you can’t get again right off the bat when you start over. That’s really what holds us back(or at least that's my problem), it’s the experience and knowing that all that time would go to waste. Also, I’m sure you can relate to the feeling of defeat or loss when you click that wipe button. Then you also have all those excuses that even though you want to rage quit, you say to yourself some like “The next match will be better” or “That loss was because of my teammates” or “That wasn’t fair, I was up tiered”(up tier means you are the lowest level, or you had the weakest stuff). That’s what gets us.


That’s what I think is why we get addicted to games, is that we focus on the good times and learn from the bad. We all just know that it was just some random coding that puts us into that game, and that we’ll eventually have that luck reversed and have that one game where we can have it all down tier.

    Well, Video Games are not really an addiction. It's a source of entertainment. People can spend hundreds of dollars on ENTERTAINMENT! It may be hard to get off, but that is because we are having FUN, its not an addiction.

Is a hot dog a sandwich?

  Is a hot dog a sandwich? This question has split the public, friends, and family. This question has started countless wars among friends, at the lunch table, or in a classroom. This question is the reason that I will tell you that a hot dog is not and will never be a sandwich.  The first thing that’s needed to be discussed is what is a sandwich? According to the general public and many dictionary websites a sandwich is two or more pieces of bread with a filling in between. If we go by definition then a hot dog is not a sandwich because it’s one piece of bread. However, people have argued that a hot dog is a sub which means it is a sandwich to which people counter by saying it’s a taco therefore it’s not a sandwich. So which is it? Is a hot dog a taco or a sub? The answer is neither. According to Eric Mettenthal who is the president of the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, a hot dog is not a sub, taco, or a sandwich. Instead, he says “In essence it boils down to a hot dog is its

Dreams and Nightmares, Kayley Kuhnle

She escapes to her dream while twinkles of light fill the void sky. Is her head on a silk pillow, or on a large rock among blossoming flowers? Is she laying under the air of her ceiling fan, or is her hair being blown  by gusts of wind? As she is laying,  her hair blowing, she stands up. She glances to the left  and discovers a tall figure approaching her. She tries to get a look at it, but sees a blurry face. The figure starts to run towards her, leaving her no option but to escape its path She runs trying to not look back she fears that the unrecognizable will catch her. Her feet now trampling the once perfect flowers, the wind starts blowing heavier than before, her feet start to get lighter and in desperate need of a getaway, she decides to try something... Extending her arms, the wind suddenly picks her off her feet. She soars through the sky, all the way to the clouds. A grin appears on her face. She reaches out to a cloud, only to hear a rumble in the sky. The clouds turn to a m
