As the presidential election nears, more and more people are being forced into having choppy, inconclusive political discussions with their friends and families. My ears always perk up when I hear these conversations going on among college students.
As Nov. 6 gets closer and closer the presidential election of 2012 could not be more important. The United States is still, whether you agree or not, in a serious recession and around 8 percent of the population is unemployed. It does not matter whether you are Republican, Democrat or even an independent — on Nov.
or this presidential election, do yourself a favor and stay home. Why not have a good drink and relax?
When I turn on the television, I hear broadcasters and pundits talking about Obamacare which, in reality, does not exist.
A lot of the time, people will not say something if they do not know a lot about the topic being discussed.
Voter depression: For many Americans who cannot identify with either the far-right or the far-left, the call to “get out the vote” inspires this feeling.
Up until I started college, I had never given education a serious thought. What I mean by this is that, I had never thought of the expenses that go into the education system here in America.
The self-image is the interpretation of one’s self; the very fabric that passes the ultimate judgment upon one’s well-being on any particular day.
If someone followed me around with a camera all day, they would get punched. Paparazzi are something that bother me so much, and I am not even the person they are following. Every day my Facebook and news sites are filled with new celebrity gossip.
“You have a choice. You can either be a passive victim of circumstance or you can be the active hero of your own life.” ~Bradley Whitford It was shaping up to be a long night.
This past summer, my family and I went on our annual vacation to Canada. We drove from Aston, Pa., all the way to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.
Peter Hartwell, associate of a research and development initiative, focused on the creation of sensory technology, and spoke out to the public about a project of his.
Here comes Honey No-No sounds about right to me. TLC Network’s show “Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo,” is a joke. Alana, which is Honey Boo-Boo’s birth name, is a 7-year-old pagent girl from Georgia.
It has been called the swat heard ‘round the world and the echo is still reverberating. Taylor Santos is an average 15-year-old girl who attends a high school just outside of Fort Worth, Texas.

My friend Sarah and I are starting a Pay it Forward movement on campus. We ask that you join along.
You know what I feel more strongly about than anything? Women’s roles in this world. James Brown’s lyrics, “this is a man’s world, but it would be nothing, nothing, without a woman or a girl,” is what I think of when I begin to rant about this subject. Women have come a long way to gain respect and power in this world. We started out with nothing, no school, no work, no rights and used only for producing children, cooking and cleaning. I myself have joked around about wishing things would go back to that so that I did not have to deal with going to school or working; but I was wrong. It is amazing how far women have come by standing up for themselves and each other. We have fought, struggled and were made to prove our worth to this country and have come out on top in many situations. Now I know this seems like me ranting about women’s rights because I am a woman, but that is not what this is about; I am no feminist. But, I feel very strongly about respect and everyone getting a fighting chance. Strong women in our society today such as Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, Michelle Obama and many more have gained respect and proved to the world how intelligent, caring and powerful they are. I respect these women so much for the great example they set, their strength and what they show women in our country. But, just when I thought this country was at my standards with this topic, I was proved wrong.
