I am a college student. I can admit to myself that I am not the best one. But I also tend to underestimate my knowledge at times but I digress. The point is that I am not the best student in the world. I like to say that I lack the drive due to the educational system not challenging me enough when I was younger. And even that may be true.

Why do you have to be 21 to drink? We are considered adults at 18. We can serve our country at 18. We can smoke at 18. We can buy a house or car when we are 18. And we can have kids when we want.

I was at the mall with my friends last week when we saw these young girls that looked like a miniature version of us. They couldn't have been older than twelve but they had the purses, the shopping bags with purchased items, the tight Abercrombie jeans tucked into Ugg boots, and oversized sunglasses.  Read More »

I have been thinking about this subject quite a bit in the past couple of days. We have become a society where the value of building good self-esteem is stressed. Particularly in schools. Teachers are constantly attending seminars and studying more about how to raise their students' self esteem. Is this honestly what is best for the kids?  Read More »
