  1. 21st century is really getting fast track. As compared to earlier one this has lots of expectations. We will rock in this century as we are now experienced with our mistakes and so should be behaved wisely.

  2. Twenty centuries have passed and still my people have not forgot the spilling of one man’s blood. Twenty centuries. When will we stop killing in the name of a man long past? When will we rid ourselves of this hatred that has plagued us for millennia? When will we look into the eyes of our neighbors and see not a man who has wronged us but see ourselves in another’s body? Life is too precious to waste on hating people. it is time we opened our eyes and our hearts and saw everything that is good.

  6. a century is a hundered years. thats 100 revolutions of the earth around the sun. Time seems unnoticeable moment to moment, but it really adds up. We’re screamin round the sun at speeds of 90 miles a second.

  7. a century passed before anything else ran down my pants. a century or 2 that is. its a shame i live in this house. so many fucking cats i cant stand the sight of my dad anymore. its like a birdcage in here.

  8. so yes here i am wondering what to write.. the 21st century has brought us more good than bad, yet the good stuff, still stays, bad stuff? they say it could be the end of the water, WWIII, global worming and all that stuff… a century consists of 100 years. equivalent to 1200 months, and a whole lot of weeks too.. not to mention the seconds..

  10. When I went here I knew the word would be century. Someone posted it on Facebook. And I thought about what I would write, and I came up with nothing. And I still have nothing, and time is almost up. And I make far too many typos. And the word doesn’t change. And I knew it, but some part of me still thought it would be different.

    Devon
  11. A lot can happen in a century. Men live, men die. Inventions are introduced. Patents become obsolete. Where does all the time go and how do we learn to appreciate this time that we are given?

  14. century. a lot of things can happen in a century. thats a hundred years. in a hundred year who knows what’ll be going on. humans might be doing some crazy shit. living on the moon, i dont even know. but t’ll be insane. and a hundred years ago, its almost impossible to tell what was happening. it was so long ago, almost like, every aspect of our lives have changed since then. a hundred years ago we still had huge wars to go through and like, hell, canada was just made. it was like, some new born baby kinda shit. i dont even know, i didnt pay that much attention in socials.in a hundred years im gonna be 116. i donno, i might even still be alive then, with a bunch of technological advances and stuff. even if theyre arent any, lots of people in my family have lived pretty long lives. i think my great grandma was 97 when she passed on. thats a long time to live. i dont even know what i could do with that much time. i could go travelling. see the world over. maybe even see other worlds, planets, moons, visit other stars solar systems. a bunch of stuff. madness. 100 years is a long time. i wonder if ill even remember doing this in a 100 years. but hell, who knows, the world is supposed to end in like, a year and a bit anyways, right?

  15. A century is a hundred years and is somehow how we define each age. We arbitrarily split history into 100 year groups. Why are we so interested in these groups? Because we use base ten numbering system.

  19. one hundred years and a lot of dirt. dusty roads and caravans traveling over mountains. money, always the money…doesn’t really change, just gets dustier like everything else. why is it lowercase, should be uppercase. this is the name of my time.

    A. Woods
  20. When you’re 16, everything is a million years away, and you look at college students and think: “l’ll never be that old. I’ll die way before then.”

  21. 100 years. A long time….time capsules are buried for centuries, and perhaps I’mm never see them dig up the one in my town. I can only iagine what life was like before I entered the world, and what it will be before I leave it.

    Marley
  22. Century is a derivative of the Latin word for 100, centus. Clearly because a century is a period of 100 years, it is named so. 100 is expressed in Roman numerals as C as in centus: 100. I am totally fluent in Roman numerals, which is another one of those things that puts me on my high horse.

  23. a century cannot be defined by just simply one hundred years. Take into account the number of families started within those years, the lives that were lost, the love that was created, the happiness that was found.

    Liana Crawford
  24. at the turn of the century we really thought we were done for. it was a crazy event that was interesting to watch. who knew that everyone would be a bunch of fools thinking the world would end just because we didn’t have any computers anymore. its ridiculous to believe people are so dumb

  25. Will these years never cease?
    Will these decades never end?
    Will these centuries learn from the later?
    Will these millennia turn to friend?

    Mike Renaud
  26. A century is 100 years. Few people live that long. I witnessed the turn of the century when I was too young to truly appreciate what it meant. It’s amazing to see the differences from the last turn to the century to this one.

    Emily
  27. A time for us to evolve and dream of a new civilization. Enough time to make and gain relationships. Deepen our horizons and consider our own past.

  28. its ben a century since i knew where i was or where i was going but now im on a path that is clear and present!

    james Hulley
  29. Gears turn, clocks tick, lines shift and jump on a digital face. In the square below, many wait with bated breath for a single moment, soon approaching. As it draws closer, an energy rises among them, finally reaching a breaking point. Fists raised to the sky, a guttural shout echoes out through the city. One hundred years of conquest, of glory, come to a close… and begin anew.

  30. such a long stretch of time. enough to lose everything u know and love.

  31. a set of hundred, the beginning of the new century did witness a lot of new technological break-through.

  35. I will probably die before living a century. I hope I’m able to understand the reason. I hope I said goodbye to all of the people I love. Especially, you. If I haven’t said good bye to you than I pray to live a century more.

  36. Life, death, lights, darkness, endings are just beginnings, while things begin to end. Shakespeare was once great, but now lies in the gutters of streets.

    Travis
  37. a century seems like a long time to some, but in Earth’s time scale it is relatively small.

  38. this was a century of milestones. i see century as a time span for human development. the kind of development that shaped human life as it is today. century brings to my mind the color of gold. somehow. strange i know.

  39. the time of our life that is measured by the whole of our world is never going to be enough
    How long till we all just fall asleep with love in mind…

  40. This century I feel as though we will have the opportunity to achieve new heights. Whether it be in medicine,science, architecture or any other inventions. this century will bring crazy break through, which will spark a whole new world.
