Binge eating

Binge Drinking is a problem that is present in most, if not all colleges and universities. A late night of partying and drinking may sound safe at first, but the effects of such heavy drinking are dangerous. The consequences are often glanced at, but are not considered when the bottle takes over.

Serious effects of binge drinking are: poor academic performance,…

Advertisements are powerful tools of communication used to persuade consumers into buying products and/or change their view on how they perceive a particular issue or subject.

According to a recent report, 63% of people that are aged around 18-24 say the drink to get drunk and 35% say that the aren’t able to stop drinking once they have started. One reason to raise the drinking age…

The article that I have read is “Don’t Get Drunk, Jake”: Drinking, Drunkenness, and Sobriety in The Sun Also Rises by Donald A. Daiker. This article is mainly about claiming that Jake is not drunk as the whole meaning of the novel is seems that Jake wants to achieve his sobriety rather than to get drunk.

I got to give my Spanish a jog, I got to meet a ton of new people, and I had my eyes opened to a new way of living. I…

Adversity comes in many forms. For some, it may be physical. For others, it may be mental. One sees adversity around themselves and within themselves every day.

Ambition is one of the strongest qualities to hold when overcoming adversity.…
