While the government tries to pay off its debts from when the country began, college students are trying to pay off their debt from their minimum four years of college that can include tuition, housing, bills, food and books. Oh, books.

The classroom serial story teller

You like your morning class. Sure, it is lecture only but your teacher makes the effort to share some corny jokes and interesting anecdotes to keep you all from falling asleep. After the latest short story, your teacher asks a question about the material and that is when this student’s hand goes up.

How Far a creative mind can carry you in life

When I was little, creativety came easily. All I asked to recieve for Christmas, my birthday or even Easter was paper, colored pencils, crayons and markers. All I ever wanted to do was draw, color and write. When little, children make up imaginary friends, events that happen and stories in their heads. I see this all the time with my three nephews. But why do we lose that? Obviously we do not walk around with imaginary friends that get us in trouble like in the movie, “Drop Dead Fred,” but you get the picture.
