Author: Abby F

Abby is a 16 year old high school senior that’s often caught slacking off, singing show tunes at the top of her lungs, pretending she can dance, wishing she lived in the 80’s, and reading books like there’s no tomorrow. One of her favorite pastimes is binging on fanfiction while eating homemade fudge popsicles and blasting music that’s from long before her era. While not doing any of those things, she can be found acting at her local youth theatre, which she’s convinced is the best place on the face of the earth, or trying to get her friends to read her favorite book, The Outsiders. If she’s not doing either of those things, she’s probably either trying to weasel her way out of math homework or being forced to learn about biology. Also, she enjoys shouting quotes from movies and books at people. If things go as planned, she’ll be attending Oklahoma Baptist University in the Fall of 2019, majoring in Theatre...but really, when do things ever go as planned?

From Your First Cigarette to Your Last Dyin’ Day

I stared at the screen. “Since you said your favorite book is Outsiders, you could try writing about children and gangs as your first article. That's definitely a problem in many areas.” It was time to start writing my first article for Cogitare, and I’d asked Hudson to pick my topics for me, as I’m … Continue reading From Your First Cigarette to Your Last Dyin’ Day →
