gender roles and taught that boys and girls are distinctly different. The leniency towards co-education present in kibbutz society is hard for me to wrap my head around. I can remember various summer camps I’ve been to where the boys and girls dormitories were not even in the same building and so much as entering the opposite gender’s dorm lobby was a serious enough offense to warrant being sent…

I am a second generation Latino-American who is outgoing and friendly. I would contribute to the campus diversity by sharing my Latino culture with the students of NC State. I find that there are many misconceptions about what it means to be a Latino-American. This could benefit the campus by giving them the knowledge of another culture and their beliefs, so they're able to expand their worldly view; and maybe inspire people to visit Latin America and learn, since this is what diversity is about…

College is the beginning of a young adult’s life. It is the first time most adolescents are away from home and are learning to be independent from their parents. Selecting a college is a very important decision, often based on academic programs, athletic programs, or location. What most of the students applying to the University of Tennessee do not realize is that the school has a very rich history in paranormal activity. A myriad of ghosts reportedly haunt various buildings across the…

traveler and writer Xavier de Maistre did travel in his bedroom, and he wrote a book Journey around My Bedroom to narrate his experience. I had never thought that travel can happen in the bedroom. I decided to wear my favorite pyjamas and travel in my dormitory just like de Maistre did in his bedroom. That was a Monday’s evening. I was back dorm after seven hours classes. My roommates reviewed in the library for their mid-term exam. I was pretty tired, so I wanted to relax. Suddenly, I…

In the 1800’s there was controversy over the land in the United States. There was an act put into place by President Andrew Jackson called the “Indian Removal Act”. The act stated the Native Americans who lived east of the Mississippi River had to relocate west of the Mississippi, regardless if the land was foreign to the natives. Oklahoma was then called “Indian Country”. Some Pacific Northwest tribes were taken to Oklahoma, but were like rubber bands, shot back. After warfare because of land,…
