Adderall: A Growing Trend Among College Students Brian,* a 20-year-old Northeastern University student, carefully lays out his “stash” of blue pills on a table one Sunday evening. As he organizes them into groups according to size and dosage, he mentally runs through his class work and assignments for the week. “A physics quiz on Tuesday,” he says, eyes still fixed on the dozen or so blue pills on the table. “A calc test on Friday and a lab due on Thursday.” Brian sinks back into his chair

In a small, sleepy town in upstate New York, a devastating crime has been committed. Dr. Andreas Poppy was known to be a bit of a lazy doctor when making house calls. He would leave a “pill and a bill” and leave the rest up to fate. This earned him a few enemies along the way, but no one thought that he would ever be kidnapped and used for his access to prescription drugs. When Wilbur Unisex came upon the scene he was able to deduce that four men had been waiting to kidnap Dr. Poppy, take him, his

let alone so up close. You couldn’t help but take in his appearance, noticing how you came up to his chin in height and how expressive his eyes were as they gazed into yours intently. You could feel your face begin to heat up as you pulled his hands off your shoulders and took a step back to put some much needed distance between the both of you. “Maybe, but only because I decided to wait for you.” Shiori briefly pouted before taking your hand in his as he began to cross the street, pulling

one, but I believe the iconic history of Jeeps is amazing. It amazes me that this small vehicle can have such a huge impact on history as becoming the “World War II Vehicle”. Jeeps have inspired other similar light utility vehicles and are the oldest off-road vehicle ever made. Jeeps also have a huge impact on today’s modern society. Jeeps bring society together. Jeep people have a slang term for themselves called “Jeepers”. Within today’s society there are Jeep Clubs. The aftermath of the Military

As the NFL grows in infamy from their many concussion scandals, the misusing of prescription drugs is overshadowed, but still remains as a major issue in the NFL. A huge problem facing the NFL today is the ill advised use of painkillers as it affects former players and current players alike. If nothing is done to stop this dilemma, players will continue to be affected by the accoutrements of painkillers.

Medicine and Control “100 people die from drug overdoses every day in the United States.”(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, December 12, 2011) this statistic is decently high, as it means that for every one hundred thousand people in the United States, about twelve die per day due to high doses of prescription painkillers. The method for controlling these substances varies from extreme control to very lenient, allowing them to be misused, stolen, and in a rare case prescribed unnecessarily
