The Cool Kids

Millennial: noun, a person reaching young adulthood around the year 2000. Or, you may know of them as the “entitled” generation. There are many terms that can describe the generation I make up. But, to other Millennials, they don’t agree with everything that’s said about them. “I don’t think we are the entitled generation,” said Corey King a 22-year-old college student at Lock Haven University. “Every generation before us was not approved by the previous generations. My grandfather didn’t…

in a town or rural area. I would love to live in the United States except when I visit other people. I would like to live near mountains because I feel so much safer there, for some reason and plus I just like to see the world above me and feel the cool air on my face. The climate I would prefer is windy and a little cold but not too cold because I don’t want to much more coats on. I would like that place to snow a little bit, but no blizzards. How I envision myself making a living is being a…

supposedly decided. Futures that will mean either ultimate success or ultimate failure. Whether it was watching mean girls or the Breakfast club. Whether you read it somewhere in a book, you have probably heard the term stereotype. You know the geek, jock, cool girl the list goes on. We see stereotypes everywhere. Whether or not we choose to believe it, we are all actually part of our own stereotypical clique. A clique that separates us as teenagers in work, school and even at home. John Hughes…

European dances/dance rituals changed from pagan dance to early Christian forms by the christians going into europe to spread their religion with others, when they saw the locals’ dances and thought it was cool. So they inquired them into their church, however, they changed some of the parts because it was to sexual for them and the church. Social dance has changed for the 1800’s to the 20’s because the younger generation of the time wanted to be less stiff and closer to their partner, which…

month before my 10th birthday, my father picked me up from school. I was an after-school program kid, and we were still milling around the door to the cramped portable, hanging up backpacks and chatting with friends from other classes, when my name was called. That should have been my first clue that this would be a day of change. Both of my parents were in the Navy, and I was often one of the last few kids to go home. My second clue should have been when I saw my dad’s dusty, dented black Dodge…

recently earned the title of Bryan County Sheriff so I knew he had to be full of good ideas. I started by asking him all the questions in the list in order and then a couple of my own. I learned that he has been friends with my dad since they were kids and also grew up in the same town I live in now. He went to the same high school as me and had no intentions of becoming a police officer as a college student. It surprised me when I asked about the technology improvements and he told me that…

doing something bad is worse than if we do something bad because it’s all over the news. We all admire them and want to be like them in a way. If they do something bad than it might inspire us to do something bad. TV shows have made shifts to telling kids what they want to be when they grow up. They all want to be famous. We seem to “like” what they like therefore we don’t think about what we actually want and like. All of your real friends can be replaced with followers as a result,…

Some people might think that parents are the number one people to influence their children. If you really think about it, us kids spend more time with our friends than with our parents. We prefer to hang out with our friends than with our parents. We are in school more time than at home, then when we get home we do homework than either talk to our friends but not really hang out with our parents. In the book “ToKill A Mockingbird” Scout wanted to be like her friends and not know how to read…

is rarely subjected to their parents’ rules, and they look much older than suggested. Between six and thirteen years old, I was convinced that I would be as cool as the characters in the shows throughout my high school career. Although the first three did have either larger than life…
