I am here today to show off one of the most youngest, politically-aware, individuals that I have ever seen. Apparently finding out his information about politics from everyday forms of media such as TV, newspapers, and internet, this boy can express a great understanding of his own countries laws, and most importantly, can use his brain…
On Aug 28, Nintendo announced their latest, greatest, and newest gaming system to the Nintendo family. The Nintendo 2DS…! Great. Before anyone asks, this is a REAL thing. As you may have guessed from the name of this product, Nintendo has completely taken out the 3D function of their prior system, the Nintendo 3DS. They…
I have always learned, that in order to figure out politics, you have to (excuse my language) wade through the BS to get to the political truth. Here is my interpretation of that truth. Tensions keep rising in Syria as the chemical attack from Aug 21 stresses the nations of the world. Over 1,300 have died…
“Juniper’s Knot is the tale of a lost boy and an imprisoned fiend who through eventual bonding, try and help overcome each other’s obstacles.” My usual boring tale of app store browsing was met with the discovery of a more superior, melancholic, and thoughtful tale of Juniper’s Knot, a kinetic visual novel made by Dischan…
It seems Russian law has not been too supportive of homosexuality in the past. In fact, until 1999, homosexuality was considered a mental disorder in Russia’s list of mental illnesses. With the recent ban on ‘homosexual propaganda’, the Russian…
The Millennial Generation is the name of the generation that have been born roughly between 1970-2000. The dates are up to debate though, and are mostly a cultural thing, since I may not like 1997 onward, since I may not think they’re not a part of “us”, the Millennial Generation. I think our generation has…

They may be non interactive, unpassionate, unfair or maybe a mix of all these traits as they educate students with a lack of vigor and seriousness in their work. Jeff Bliss…
I haven’t been watching the news lately but apparently the newest controversial topic in national news has come from this commercial…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYofm5d5Xdw You may have seen this adorable commercial on T.V, where a mother confirms to her daughter that Cheerios is good for heart health. Later on it is shown that the father wakes up…

I don’t think people naturally seek to help others everyday. We’re just too busy. Five days ago you would’ve seen me studying for exams, not giving care for much else. You would’ve seen a businessman, going to his office to sign his daily papers and you would’ve seen a college student, going for her day…
My first post into this blog will be a surprising one. Since I’ve been hard at work with exams, I haven’t been able to post a full fledged post. So…before I talk about all the politics and current issues that I like to talk about, here’s a video of red pandas playing in the snow~.…
Ever since my trip to Las Vegas, the excessive food has really weighed me down. Literally. So to turn that around, over the course of February until now, I have been trying out “clean eating”. I don’t know how to define it, but I found this lovely bit of information from The Gracious Pantry that…
After 12 years (make that 13 if you count kindergarten) of waking up early, working late for homework, having terrible partners in group projects, not making effective use of work periods, sleeping in class, and of course, learning, I’ve finally completed a huge chapter in my life. I GRADUATED YESTERDAY. I know for some people,…
