Pacman Syndrome 

Pacman Syndrome derives from the arcade game, Pacman, and is used to describe the issues with the opposite sex when in a relationship or single, in the terms of Pacman.

In a situation where Pacman Syndrome is present the opposite sex is described as the "ghosts", and the individual as "Pacman".

Those in a relationship:
In the arcade game Pacman is chased by the ghosts, and tries to stay away from them. This represents that the individual is pursued by the opposite sex while in a relationship, and attempts to keep away, in order to avoid being unfaithful.

When single:
Once Pacman eats a power-pellet (representative of a break-up), he can then pursue the ghosts. This represents that after a break-up, the individual then switches, and begins to pursue the opposite sex, who in turn, try to keep away from the individual.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
