Arival Time Of School Essay
... even have so much work that they’ll stay up all night just to get it
done. When needing a minimum of 9 hours of sleep as a teenager, getting up at
6:30 to be ready for school is just not enough time. It’s easy to think that
students will just procrastinate even more, but the average teenager is smarter
than you may think.
It sounds absurd to think that students sleep during the school day. The
fact is that many students fall asleep during class. Remember that sleep isn’t
something you can make yourself not want. Throwing water on your face,
listening to loud music, or taking a shower cannot make your bodies craving for
sleep disappear. The fact is puberty ...

The Mystical Sea
... appears to fall into the ocean, one color transforms into another color, the blue turns into purple and the orange into pink. Thoughts of Emerson's transparent eyeball come to mind as a person truly becomes one with nature during a sunset. The sumptuous sound of the tide rushing on the dark sandy beach is like listening to a live performance of a meditation tape. Relaxing in a beach chair, listening to the slow recession of the water regaining strength and becoming louder until the wave crashes again and the cool surf rushes against your warm, sun-burnt feet, can please even the worst of aquaphobias.
Although the sea can intrigue and inspire people, it can als ...

Marijuana
... main areas. The
first is the claim that marijuana is an instrumental treatment for the
nausea associated with chemotherapy in cancer patients. The next
assertion is that marijuana is an effective controller of glaucoma.
Finally, marijuana advocates claim that it is effective in stimulating the
appetite for the prevention of AIDS wasting syndrome. (71)
Proponents of medical marijuana swear by its ability to ease the
suffering of chemotherapy patients, however there is no research to
