This column is to address a growing concern with the generation that will soon take over for those us born in the...

Horror Films And Children

UNITED STATES—With Halloween fast approaching; it’s become a trend in America to celebrate how festive the holiday truly is. For those TV lovers, the scare fests have already begun on many Cable channels, which open the discussion of what kids should or should not see. I previously tackled this debate in the previous year and I’m still solid on my...

Analyzing Fear

UNITED STATES—When it comes to fear, how precisely can you describe what it is? Is it a sense of dread, is it an environment, is it a person or a combination of all of those things? With the month of October now upon us, all things spooky and scary are invading our neighborhoods, local retailers, homes, television and so...

That Gut Instinct

UNITED STATES—We have all heard of the saying “go with your gut instinct,” but precisely what does that mean? Is that a feeling, is it a hunch or is it a premonition? I would say it’s possible it’s all of these things. So why is it that so many people don’t go with that gut feeling? I think we...

Utilizing That College Degree

For the oddest reason, many of...

Labor Day Blues

Work Overload

UNITED STATES—Why does it seem nowadays that the idea of work has stretched far beyond reality? Some of us work part-time, some of us work full-time, and some of us work 2-3 jobs. Work is no longer a part of our lives, it is our lives. We wake up preparing to go to work and we fall asleep with...

Banking 101

UNITED STATES—The bank, oh isn’t it a glorious thing or is it? I didn’t get my first bank account until probably my freshman year in college.
