Right now people all over the country have one concern: money. How to make it and how to hold on to it has always been a major concerns for mostly everyone, but it seems that for the past year or so people have been scrambling even harder to find those answers. Everywhere you turn, people [...]

It’s funny to think back to childhood and realize how far we’ve come in terms of the technology we deal with every day. It’s even funnier to notice how we can’t really think back that far because we can’t not think of a time without insanely small cell phones, the new wonders of the internet, [...]

I heard the strangest thing the other day from one of my friends, about how she doesn’t like a guy but she likes to look at him smoke. It made me feel better when she admitted that it sounded weird to hear though I still can’t get past that oddness. Said friend has never been [...]

With all the hype surrounding the latest Disney-Pixar release Up I decided to check it out with a group of friends, even at our age. What can I say? At least I know I’ll always be a Disney kid, knowing every one of the musical numbers by heart, with them always a few words away [...]

I have a problem that I believe is becoming increasingly common amongst my fellow teenagers. I have a trendy parent! There I said it, and the first step to any recovery is admitting the problem. Now I’m serious about the severity of this problem. My 50-year-old father sends me text messages all the time, and [...]

With Kris Allen walking away as the winner of the latest cycle of American Idol, all seems right in the world. But then of course it would; had Adam Lambert won then something would have been wrong, wouldn’t it? I don’t always think so; I’ve never liked the rumors that he didn’t win because he [...]

For the longest time I’ve wanted to speak another language as my own native tongue, just so that I could have an accent to be proud of.
