Summary of a Typical Student Year

Having attended college for a number of years now, I think I have figured out a pattern in terms of the work that we are assigned.  Though the pattern is revealing, by knowing it is there I do not get any explicit advantage at all.
If you want to sum up my "research", a student’s [...]

What a Wonderful Country

Every day, I stop and think about how lucky I am to be a Canadian. I am a very patriotic person and I love my country. We are so blessed to have it all. We have every type of scenery imaginable and we have such a diverse culture that it is a great place to [...]

The Easy Way Out Of a Crunch

As a college student, there are so many deadlines that need to be fulfilled that sometimes the stress just gets to you.  Sometimes you just need a day or two off, but the reality of the matter is you usually don’t have that option.
For example, if your to take a couple days off, chances [...]

Welcomed To College

I decided that it might be worth going back to college to finish my degree.  For those of you who know that I went to college (there should be some of you out there), you know that I am just a few classes shy of a Computer Science degree.
So what I have done is request [...]

Bah Humbug

There is one thing I have never understood and that is why some people treat their pets as if they are real human beings. I have a cousin who sends out Christmas cards every year and the dog’s name is signed to it and we are all expected to give the dog gifts come Christmas [...]

Quest for the Best

I know that when I was a child, my father only wanted the best of everything.  The best car, the best tools, and even the best windows for our home were the results of his research and consultation of consumer reviews in magazines.  He did his research and got the best results.
Now, years later, I [...]

Beauty in the Beast’s Clothing

As I consider myself to be quite a trendy person, I really hate the safety wear that we have to dress in for work. It is tacky and ugly and it just makes you look really bad. I even want to suggest at the next staff meeting that we hire someone to design some better [...]

Mr. Perfect Has to Have Perfect Teeth

I have to admit that the one thing I notice first about the opposite sex is their smile.  I can’t help it, but I am very attracted to men with straight teeth.  You can take a totally handsome man and if he’s got bad teeth, it is a real turn-off for me.
Because of my fascination [...]

Helping Kids Learn

It is a funny thing how knowledge is passed down generation to generation, but in this last generation we have been coming up short.  With the increase in pace of our lives, there has been a rapid decrease in the level of education that students are getting in schools.
The problem starts right at the beginning [...]

A Different Point of View Regarding Blogs

I know that a blog is a place to share your opinions, ramble on whatever topics you want, and generally practice a “you are always right” attitude.  That may sound a little nasty, but in reality that is mostly the truth.
So, I thought today I would talk about the opinion of another blogger, specifically from [...]
