I even planned where I would go to college and how long I would study there. I had my whole life planned out before me and I obviously intended to stick with my plan. So… Why did

    There is nothing more annoying that watching some of your favorite players for one year and then never see them play for your team. I believe that division 1 college basketball athletes use their college just as a stepping stone to get to the NBA by playing for one year and then moving one which I find to be very annoying and frustrating. If you look at Lonzo Ball, for example, right after UCLA lost to Kentucky in the sweet sixteen, he declared for the NBA draft and said that that was his last game

    Here I Go “So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, and beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people.

    big issue that colleges across the nation are seeing is an increased rate in students dropping out and never looking back for their education. This is especially prominent when the students are going out of state for college. Without much of a support system on their first failed test, students seem to carry that with them throughout the rest of the semester. This later on becomes a snowball effect and eventually leads to dropping out. However, being in a sorority for two years I rarely ever see

    The car I need is one with off road capabilities for camping trips. This is because I go camping all the time. Usually I go camping about 1 time every single month. This means that I'll need a car to bring me there and back even when there is no more road. Also off-roading is a sport I enjoy. It would really be nice to have a car that I can do that with. That’s why one of my requirements for the car is having 4x4 capability. The car must be able to handle off road usage to get me places I need to

    Why does money determine my future? Why should I have to throw a dream away because of it? I lost this argument as soon as I ripped open that acceptance letter. The letter made the decision for me. It all started about eight years ago when my parents decided to leave our hometown Gaithersburg, Maryland to come to south Florida. My family and I lived there for about eleven years and it was the best place to grow up. It was home. My parents both got great professor jobs in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
