It requires a lot of determination to put yourself through school and take the first step towards your future. While community college might be half a step for those people trying to decide what to do with their life, it is still a decision not to be at home being content with not doing anything. People come from different walks...

Every news outlet seems to be talking about the Planned Parenthood case and the fake video that started this whole issue. In the video, a person described as the Senior Director of Medical Services, Deborah Nucatola, is sitting with an unidentified individual talking about how to keep a deal under the radar. They also discuss prices for body parts and...

Late Monday afternoon, a peculiar thing started trending on Twitter: #BoycottStarWarsEpisodeVII. These type of things are often meaningless, and almost always worthless, and while none of the people involved are likely to actually boycott the new Star Wars movie, it certainly inspired at least a brief inquiry. Internet boycotts are usually inspired by one of three things: a cast or...

I will also be a part of that group stressing about what to put on my personal statement, if my grades are high enough to get into my potential schools, and overall just...

What does a man have to do to have four movies made about him? He has to become famous young, die young, and make a bunch of important stuff in-between. More essentially, he must consider himself and his work very important and treat every one around him like a mere asset in his own life as a result. “Steve Jobs”...

What A Time To Be Alive – Drake & Future With the release of their collaborative mixtape, Drake and Future find themselves in an enviable but equally unfortunate position. They didn’t drop a single, they didn’t promote the record, they merely leaked the fact that the tape existed, and it immediately became the most anticipated release in months. The positives...

Of the many people frustrated by the prolonged piece of performance art that has been Trump 2016, perennial Republican candidate Mike Huckabee must be one of the angriest.
