Erika Teufel commented on Mari Saunes's photo
Auschwitz I & II
"the whole entrance of "work makes you free" was kind of a way of censoring the ones that entered. Though, at the same time, it was kind of ironic, in a way. Either way, when people would be forced into concentration camps, they would…"
Erika Teufel commented on Nikki Troia's blog post Is Facebook taking over our lives?"I love Facebook, but I only really use it to communicate with people who are far away or people whose phone numbers I don't have. And oh my gosh, those fan pages. If they aren't bands or semi-famous celebrities who actually run their page,…"
Erika Teufel commented on Sara Isaacs's blog post End of the Year Craziness!"okay, I know everything's coming to a close, but I'm still learning new material in a few classes. My boyfriend, who is a senior, has also been working on three projects this weekend when he's graduating on Sunday. I find all of this…"
Erika Teufel commented on Erika Teufel's blog post Indie Culture...?"Pitchfork > Lolla. Every band that plays at Pitchfork usually goes to Lollapalooza the next year. It's insane. Pitchfork is a perfect example of all those hipsters and indie kids getting together and hangin' out. Great music festival,…"
Erika Teufel replied to Gary Anderson's discussion I Thought of American Studies Today When ..."I thought of American Studies today when my mom started talking about how she wanted to build a FLW inspired home."
Erika Teufel commented on Chris Bizjack's blog post Prom, Overrated or Underrated"Prom is so much fun, but if it's not your senior year, you should not pay all of that money. Girls: set a budget for a dress that isn't as much as a new computer. Guys: we can ride in your car, no need for a limo. Hey, grandparents usually…"
Erika Teufel commented on Kayla Rae's group Heard Any Good Music Lately?"I think indie folk music is totally where it's at these days. Frightened Rabbit, We Were Promised Jetpacks, Andrew Bird, etc.
All amazing bands, and I think everyone should give them a shot. Not only do they sing about life stories and such,…"

Heard Any Good Music Lately?
There's groups for movies, books, and plays, but not music! So here's one. Feel free to write anything about music on here; new bands/artists you like, your favorite bands/artists, concerts you've gone to, or song recommendations! =]
Erika Teufel commented on Alex Hepler's blog post Age Profiling."not only have I been age profiled, but I have been "stereotype" profiled. I was in a store, I can't remember which one, but every two seconds a worker would come up and ask if I needed help with anything...ummm, hello, not all kids…"
Erika Teufel commented on Kevin Gosiewski's blog post The Media...Can't Live With Them, Can't Live Without Them"I'm not a fan of the news. I like WGN morning news, though, and the Eric and Kathy show on the Mix, but I hardly learn anything from those two because they're screwing around half the time. Getting into celebs' lives is another thing.…"
Erika Teufel commented on Nicole Lee's blog post GLEE: the new sensation"So here's the thing about Glee. The plot line behind the entire series is loosely based off of one teacher's "life" during his time at Propect. Mr. Cevak (choir director at Palatine) helps out with the musicals at Fremd and he…"
Tom Meyer commented on Erika Teufel's blog post Where'd the simplicity go?"I don't really worry that much about college and the ACT. I plan on going to college but it is outrageous how much it is and I think it's stupid to base college entry on one test. I don't even know what I plan to study in college or…"
micheal kiely commented on Erika Teufel's blog post Where'd the simplicity go?"i really just try to eat as much as i can at home before i go out with my friends. fills me up and i dont have to spend a dime on food!"
Val Mann commented on Erika Teufel's blog post Where'd the simplicity go?"I totally agree Erika! I can't even remember the last time I was stress free. Oh, the good ol' days of watching Rugrats and Rocket Power...I love going to thrift stores and looking for cute shirts that are ridiculously cheap, and weird…"
Allison Dunnington commented on Erika Teufel's blog post Where'd the simplicity go?"One of my favorite and free places to go is the library. (Yes, I know I'm a dork.) It's a great place to check out fairly new movies and books, and since the main library is rated 10th in the nation, it has to be good."
Elory Hranicka commented on Erika Teufel's blog post Where'd the simplicity go?"I kinda smiled when i read the cupon one. my mom is totally cupon crazy! we saved tons of money with them and plus Aldi is the best place ever. Also Salvation Army has become out new place to find cute cloths and all kinds of other things most of…"
Erika Teufel posted a blog postWhere'd the simplicity go?
So I don't know about you guys, but my life is anything but simple nowadays. Back when I was a youngen living in Chicago, all I was worried about was "I wonder if I'm going to go hang out with Adam in the courtyard today..." Now, at the age of 17, I'm working two jobs, paying everything to take care of my car with seldom, extremely kind donations from my grandma, losing hair about ACTs and college apps, worrying about being able to buy a new computer for college which needs to be a Mac, and…See More
Matt Krinke commented on Erika Teufel's blog post Indie Culture...?"This is a really great blog post :D
I like to think of myself as indie, but I don't conform to the standard of "hipster."
But I mean of course I'll go to Pitchfork this Summer but only for the music haha. I think we all have a…"

Indie Culture...?
Many of you have probably either seen or heard of the show My Life as Liz on MTV which depicts the "true life" of an "indie girl" who just does whatever she so feels and resists the pressure to conform to the man. And I cannot tell you how many times people have come up to me and said "you remind me of that girl from My Life as Liz" or "hey, Liz!" joking around since I knew what they were…

Are we becoming numb??
So I was watching The Shining yesterday which is ranked thee number one scariest movie ever made (arguably) and I realized that I should be more disturbed by some things in the movie than I actually was...
Do you think that, as a society, stuff we've been through, created, and participated in, numbed us down into "mindless human beings". Do you think that we should be affected by stuff more than we actually are? What about violence in video games? Do you think that affects the children… 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
Rachel Izydorek posted a status"randomly thought about the ning today... every once in awhile i miss high school and how much simpler life was."
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. "

The Civil War in 4 Minutes!
"This amazing video has been removed from Youtube, but--at least temporarily--you can find it here."
Justyna Chlopecka posted a blog post9/11 Skylines and Turnstiles
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
