As a former political science major, I feel obligated to dedicate an entry to today's Primary Elections in the state of Maryland. About an hour ago, Dad and I drove up to Liberty to cast our votes.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I must be in the wrong room," mutters the nurse as she backs out of my room. "No," I say, "You've got it right." "But I was looking for the woman with the broken hip." "Yep, that would be me." "But you...you must only be 20 years old!" "18, actually." Story of my life. I broke my hip my second semester of col... More..

Being the football expert that I am, I have decided to provide you with an in-depth overview of last night's worldwide television broadcast. Well, at least, that was the plan. But come on, you can find reports on the game wherever you turn. Most of them published by folk WAY more knowledgeable than myself. So, instead, the f... More..

Arts & Humanities > American Authors Literary analysis: Their Eyes Were Watching God, by Zora Neale Hurston

1 of 2

Most of the girls in AP Lit raved about Their Eyes Were Watching God. And, while I liked bits and pieces of the story line, I had no appreciation for the book as a work of art. I don't know what to say. Except that it's been 3 years now. And just as Janie had to walk through the gate, into the unknown, and stumble over obsta... More..

It is at this point in time that I must admit to watching the ABC's Extreme Makeover Home Edition. The show is amazing. In my opinion, it shows people at their best. People working together to help a family and improve their living conditions. Selfless love for a group of people they hardly love. And the stories of these fam... More..

I don't think one person can save another person. I just don't. It's not enough. You can't be saved if you don't want to be saved. It's just not possible. After 4.5 months of treatment and meetings, I have repeatedly heard mention of an experience. An "Aha Moment," they call it. Yes, I'd say. I've had one of those. I think i... More..

My mom and I were running errands today and we stopped at Columbia Mall to do a quick scan for any phenomenal sales. We had to walk through one of the department stores to get into the mall, and I must say that I was pretty disturbed. There were a ton of extra cute clothes that were well out of my price range, so we were wal... More..
