Aricela Marquez commented on Ben Luke's blog post College, Man"College is closer than ever and stress has been hitting my like a bullet, but I feel that choosing what to do is highly important.

Ashlyn Jensen commented on Ben Luke's blog post College, Man"I agree, I am so incredibley jealous of those people. I mean, I sort of have an idea of what I want to do w/ my life, but even then I'm choosing between two completely opposite things, fashion merchandising or archaeology. They have nothing in…"
Kaity Drahos commented on Ben Luke's blog post College, Man"I'm with Deena, I've been told since I was little that I was born to be a teacher. However, I was also born to be a Hawkeye. But, don't be so quick to be jealous. I've wanted to go to the University of Iowa ever since I could…"
Deena Bishop commented on Ben Luke's blog post College, Man"I've known that I wanted to be teacher for a while, but I'm torn between so many schools... If you're looking to find a college match, then go on College Board. Find the college matchmaker! :) It's really kinda helpful!"
Justin Park commented on Ben Luke's blog post College, Man"College. I agree with you on everything Ben. It really stinks knowing that we cant have the old fun when we were kids. Im having trouble looking at colleges and stuff, but hey you're right lives moves fast."
Megan Teschner commented on Ben Luke's blog post College, Man"its definitely scary to think about college. luckily i have some sort of idea of where i want to go, but unfortunately thats it. i have no idea what i want to do when im older. i think thats what scares teenagers the most, wondering what they want…"
Connor Bieda commented on Ben Luke's blog post College, Man"I'm with you I have some sense of what I want to do but I really don't know, theres so many options and this is a huge decision in our lives, it should be fun."
Meghan Byrne commented on Ben Luke's blog post College, Man"I'm in the same boat. Some days I'm positive in what i want to do and go to school for but then there are other days where I actually get to thinking about it and i become totally unsure of everything. Every time i see my family, they…"
Michael Weber commented on Ben Luke's blog post College, Man"Thinking about what I want to do seems scary but the more I feel like I will be ready. It might be scary at the beginning but I think I'll be fine."
Carly Mckay commented on Ben Luke's blog post College, Man"Yeah, I agree. It is definitely a scary thing to think about. I think I am more scared for after college, when I actually have to start life, get a job, and provide for myself. Also, deciding what I want to do. Some days I feel really confident in…"
Duncan Brown commented on Ben Luke's blog post College, Man"I feel like this year I've developed a firmer grip on what I want to do. It seems like the majority of the struggle is deciding what to do, but after you reach that decision the path becomes quite prevalent. Try to find what you…"

Robin de Freitas commented on Ben Luke's blog post College, Man"I have have little idea what I want to do in college, that's what makes it difficult for me to find where I want to go. I don't know which college is the best path for me for whatever I want to pursue later in life. But it's time to…"
Patrick Witt commented on Ben Luke's blog post College, Man"I don't really understand how people can know exactly what they want to study at what college from such a young age, but people obviously do so I applaud that. I know what school I want to go to and an idea as to the area of study I want to…"
Josh Jyawook commented on Ben Luke's blog post College, Man"I have a similar feeling about how we're going to be adults in 5 years and having to get real jobs. it is kinda scary that we are going to be grown ups living on our own and five years is not a long time at all. I have a plan to play baseball…"

As much as I hate, and love, to say it... We are about 3/4 of the way done with high school. That's a scary thought. It seems like yesterday that I was learning to ride a bike and couldn't throw a ball over 10 yards. Now, I'm driving and have to start looking towards college. And that's the problem. College.
All I've heard from my family and some friends over the last few months is, "Hey Ben, what colleges are you looking at?" And every time I've been asked that question, I have had…

Nuclear Power
I'm sure you've heard of the Japan earthquake and the crisis that is occurring over there by now. If not, Japan had the largest earthquake in its history, that triggered a tidal wave that killed thousands of people. The worst part of it though, is that the earthquake and tidal wave combined to take out power grids across the country. A couple of Japan's nuclear reactor facilities were hooked into these power grids and started to rely on backup systems.
These systems failed…

Happy New Year! Now Here's Your Finals!
Every kid in Fremd hates it. Well probably mostly everyone. We get a nice two week vacation to take a break from learning and when we get back from that break we are hit straight in the face with Finals.
I for one believe that our Finals should be the week leading up to Winter Break, so that over that break, us students can really use that time to relax and get away from school. Let's be honest here, how many people really remember what you did in school the week before…

It's Just 'Cause I'm Black! LeBron Resorts to the Race Card.
When asked if he thought race was a factor in the whipping he's received from the public over his decision to sign with the Miami Heat this summer, LeBron James stated, "I think so, at times. It's always, you know, a race factor."
The media blew this up so far that it made it seem like LeBron claimed everyone was hating him just because he was black and made that decision. I for one don't agree with the media's explosion of his comment. After all he just claimed it was one of the… Continue

What's up fellow ningers?! :D Happy New Year! Somehow I ended up on the Ning this morning. Don't know if Mr.Anderson and Mr.McCusker remember our American Studies class from 09-10. Great times. It doesn't seem like this Ning has continued on over the years. What happened?See More

Adam Babcock left a comment for Bridget Babcock"There are many options out there, but to standardize is to tell a lot of teachers to learn something new or unfamiliar... it's a tricky subject. That's why I'd love to start my own school, powered by Edmodo, Ning, etc :)"
Bridget Babcock left a comment for Adam Babcock"I'm overloaded with social networking for school. They should make something exclusively for high school. Million dollar idea right there. Consolidate and simplify. "

I'm not usually someone who writes a lot , not publicly anyway but I do love to express my self through art, usually visual art but most of the time the art I make is influenced by something . In this case it's a song a written by one of my favorite musicians as a response to the feeling of horror and disbelief as he watched the Twin Towers in New York go from icons to ruins on 9/11/01. The song is sad,…See More
