I'm not a person who gets mad very easily. I really try my best to keep a cool head. However, I was experiencing great difficulty maintaining my composure as I read the now-famous Suzy Lee Weiss's op-ed in the Wall Street Journal: "To (All) the Colleges...

How was your December 30th this year? What did you spend it doing? Were you making preparations for New Year's Eve? Did you go see a movie? Did you go ice-skating? I'm guessing that there are many answers to this question -- too many to count. Me? I spent my...

Sweat pours from everywhere imaginable as the sun beats down on me. My head is pounding from the agony of pushing my body to its limits. My arms are cramping up. My legs feel like warm Jell-O. And there's still a mile to go. A whole dang mile. As physically...

Ah, the Olympics. There's nothing like spending a few weeks of summer rooting for your country in the biggest competition in the world. Even before I started running in high school, I would fervently follow statistics and results to see how the US was doing, and what we needed to...

Maybe it's because I've always loved to argue and play the devil's advocate, but I can never sit idly by and let my friends spew endless insults about the American South. I get where they're coming from, though -- the way the region is portrayed in the media casts the...

Something has been really bugging me the whole year. It's nothing unique to me -- in fact, every kid my age goes through it in roughly the same way. In fact, the main reason I'm writing about it is because it's so present in so many kids' lives that someone...

Hey everybody, I know I've been a little slow with the posts lately. My workload is higher than it's ever been, and I've been working hard on my grades in school. However, I can guarantee that this is a special post.

You see, I just came back from arguably one...

I had to write and finish this post this weekend. Even with a piano recital, jazz band rehearsal, a lab to finish, a lab to begin, an essay to finish, a math take home quiz, and a term paper to work on, this post was not going to burn a...

It's very hard to try and sum up your life up to a certain point in one post. It's even harder to sum it up using tangible things, items that you still keep around for some reason. I've assigned myself the difficult task of telling you my life... in 10...

I cannot tell you how many times I've heard people complaining about how morality no longer exists, and how people were so much better back in the days of old. People both young and old go on and on about how everyone's either afraid of each other or out to...

Whether you support Obama or not, it's evident that our economy isn't doing well. The recession is all too present around this time of year, especially among those who want to buy gifts for their loved ones, but simply can't afford it. However, this economy hasn't only affected our money...

Last night, my mom and I were flipping through the channels, hoping that something good we overlooked would suddenly pop up. And something did. Like starving hyenas on a piece of fresh sirloin, we pounced upon Charlie Brown: Happiness is a Warm Blanket.

You see, I'm a huge Peanuts fan....
