Autos > Autos (Other) The importance of naming your car.: 2 of 18

I wouldn't necessarily say that naming your car is 'important.' What's in a name? A car's a car, right? Well, it's kind of like mom says when we bring home animals. You name it, it's yours. My dad 'bought' me a car two weeks before I started university. I would be living at home and commuting. My preferred choice was to dorm...
Entertainment > Entertainment (Other) Cheap summer fun: 3 of 24

'Cheap thrills' seem to get a bad rap. Growing up in a family without a large amount of disposable income, we had to make our own fun when school was out of session. The weather was nice, the outdoors were welcoming, and the summers were memorable, to say the least. My personal favorite form of 'cheap summer fun' is SWIMMING...
Computers & Technology > Phone Technologies & Issues Appropriate vs. inappropriate uses for text messaging: 3 of 14

Text messaging etiquette is no different from etiquette in other communication mediums in our lives. Occasionally, people are thrown when new technology introduces a new way to keep in touch, but the most important thing to remember is that the manners you would normally use in a specific relationship also apply to text mess...
Style & Beauty > Hair Care How to care for long hair: 4 of 18

At present, my hair is an inch or two short of reaching my waist. My last haircut was about 15 months ago, when I donated 10 inches to the organization Locks of Love, which makes hairpieces for children with long-term hair loss (like chemotherapy patients). I am lucky to have hair that is manageable even when it is long, and...
Parenting & Pregnancy > Teen Issues Teens views: Tips for dealing with demanding parents: 1 of 4

Parents all have expectations, but what if you feel like they're going too far? Is it fair of them to demand you stay on the honor roll while playing varsity sports and volunteering in the community and working part time for some spending money, all so you can get into that perfect ivy league college? If your parents are put...
Health & Fitness > First Aid What to do if someone is unconscious: 1 of 4

If you come across someone who is unconscious, there are a few things you can do to help, even if you haven't had any formal training. The important thing is to stay calm, and don't try to handle anything beyond what you know you can do, while remaining confident in your abilities (I know, this sounds like a paradox). Basic ...
Arts & Humanities > Philosophy (Other) The human condition: 4 of 15

The human condition is much easier to understand than most of the philosophical mumbo-jumbo out there will have you believe. From the beginning of humanity, we have had to deal with our intelligent capacities being juxtaposed with our inevitable death. Everybody comes to the same end; no matter what we do in this life, we're...
Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Why we make bad choices in life: 26 of 94

Sometimes it is best to learn things the hard way. The lessons you learn through mistakes are the ones you will never forget. And are there even "bad choices" to begin with? Or are some alternatives simply better than others? Sometimes we are misinformed, or ignorant altogether; thus there can be no way for us to even know i...
Autos > Driving & Safety Good items to carry in your automobile: 2 of 7

My car breaks down almost religiously every month or two, usually in the Buffalo snow. I have a small car, but I dedicate some space for emergency equipment. There are some things I wouldn't think of hitting the road without. 1. Cell phone. Good in ANY emergency. If you can't call for help yourself and there are no good Sama...
Computers & Technology > Online Shopping & Trade Best places to sell books online: 2 of 5

The best places to sell books online are also usually the best places to buy them. You don't have to be a professional of any kind to sell your books, you don't even have to put a lot of time or effort into it, although there are some serious sellers who make a living on online marketplaces. Selling books online can be quick...
