When it comes to immigration, my standpoint is simple — the more the merrier. The United States has been described as a melting pot for hundreds of years, blending together dozens and dozens of cultures that have given us the diversity that we have in our society today.
Depending on who you ask, a one-night stand can be a defining moment in one’s life or it can fall in the category of life’s biggest regrets. Just like anything else in life there is always two sides of a spectrum and unfortunately if you are a male or female you have been on both sides — unless you are saving yourself for marriage then kudos to you.

Marijuana use is one of the most fiercely debated topics in the U.S. today.
Ganja, hookah, pot, grass, Mary Jane, Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) whatever you want to call it, we all know about marijuana. While the drug may go by dozens of names, there seems to be only two opinions regarding this recreational substance, pro-pot, or anti-pot.
