Entertainment > TV News & Commentary American Idol controversy: Vote for the worst .com: 2 of 21
OK. So. As someone who has been a part of the cattle-drive that is American Idol, I must say that I give 2 MySpace-style kudos to Vote for the Worst.com for helping to make us feel a little better about our harrowing experiences. Let me explain my ordeal in August of 2003 when I learned what the old A.I. was really about. On... More..
Jobs & Careers > Job Search (Other) Elements of a successful job search: 3 of 31
Obviously, the most successful job search is the one that ends in you landing your dream career. Although it can seem to be an overwhelming process for those who are new to the workforce or for those suddenly thrown back into the job market after a long stretch at one particular employer, there are things you can do to ensur...

Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues How to fight racial profiling: 3 of 20
Is it possible to stop an activity so deeply entrenched in America's cultural fabric? I debate this question daily as a woman of color in this country. With the history of our freedoms built on the backs of slaves and servants once viewed as subhuman, it would be very hard for the two to be addressed as a separate issue. I b... More..
Entertainment > Celebrity Gossip & News Where to get juicy info on celebrities: 1 of 5
We all have a guilty pleasure, let's face it. Mine is watching "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" late at night on Beta and eating Hagen Daas in my boyfriend's favorite tie and a pair of sweet moon boots. Yours, if you're reading this, is probably celebrity gossip. Hey, to each his own, man! I can tell you, with unabashed convic... More..
Arts & Humanities > British Authors Is J.K. Rowling turning the Harry Potter series into dark literature rather than youth literature?: 9 of 31
Having been a fan of the Harry Potter series for quite a while, I believe the plot is definitely becoming darker in nature, but not in a brooding way. The natural progression of Harry's character would have to follow this sort of adversity, simply because he is now coming of age. He has learned some very deep and disturbing ... More..
Personal Finance > Financial Planning Should you offer financial aid to your children now or let them wait to inherit?: 8 of 26
This question may seem like an easy one to answer, except for the fact that most children in America will never receive an inheritance... It's great to believe that we all have achieved the economic wealth necessary to ensure that our children receive a great education, and will be informed enough in adulthood to be able to ... More..
Relationships & Family > Married Life How modern marriage has changed from the past: 8 of 18
America is a society built on the idea of what marriage is "supposed" to be. After all, our last Presidential election was sent hurtling into chaos over a question of whether people of different sexual orientations should be allowed to marry people of the same sex. Americans were in an uproar, claiming that what Jim and John... More..
Entertainment > TV Show Reviews TV show reviews: Girlfriends: 4 of 9
There we are, sitting on the couch, sipping wine and laughing uncontrollably at the state of our love-lives, right along with the ladies on the screen. As we chat, the more we laugh, the more comforted we are. The wild woman of our circle reenacts the events of her date the previous night, recounting how the sorry S.O.B. too... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Reflections on success, struggle, and happiness: 136 of 298
i have lived a privileged life and a pauper's dreams. in the midst of it all, i have grown. i have starved for respect, loyalty and friendship; only to realize in the end it is my fortitude that keeps me from cracking under the pressure. it is my belief in the illusion i have created; the myth that everyone believes is me. i...

Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: The challenges gifted children face in school: 12 of 24
"You are your own worst enemy." "She's smart, but she just doesn't apply herself." "She's bright, she just doesn't pay attention." I was bored. Bored out of my mind and there was nothing anyone was suggesting that was helping me to sit down long enough to do the work. The problem was, I could listen to the teacher's lessons ... More..
