Getting a career right after graduation and starting the life always wanted is a college kid’s dream. From the grueling late night and early morning study sessions trying to cram all the information for the big test the next day, to running around all day all over the campus to get to classes or trying to decide if one should splurge on a pizza for dinner or stick to good old Top Ramen. Now for student athletes, add additional hours and tasks to the day, such as waking up before dawn every day…

Gun Laws and Regulations Regulations and Gun rights for college campuses is something that has many people questioning the laws. The legislative passing a law allowing college employees and students to carry guns is not the greatest idea. All college students shouldn’t be allowed to carry hand guns.

The number of innocents killed change, the settings change, 13 at a high school, 26 at an elementary school campus, 49 inside a night club, 58 outside at a country music festival. The faces to remember change every time, but weapons are the only things that stay consistent. Most of the mass killings in the U.S. are from handguns, but often are…

In a discussion about the paradigms of public education, Ken Burns addresses the controversial topic of cultural education. Public education is experiencing a time of confusion in helping children develop cultural identity so the new generation can continue to play an important role in globalization. This confusion causes an immediate reaction: continue to do what has been done in the past--instruct children to work hard, do well, and earn a college degree, then they will get a job. Many…

observed many children who have dropped out of college because they were not ready for the freedom of being on their own. I remember my next door neighbor only let her son attend a local community college. The other children attended colleges and universities far away from home, but he went to school nearby.
