"I think prom is way too hyped up but I also think it's an important teenage experience...so both haha. I think teenagers feel too much pressure to spend an excess about of money but at the same time, it makes the night more magical when…"

Kristina Lopez commented on Lauren Olson's blog post P-R-O-M"I think it is too hyped up. I did not go this year because of the money, other school work, and other obligations. I plan on going next year, but I think that the first time is always special. I would get too stressed out having to plan prom…"
Justin Park commented on Lauren Olson's blog post P-R-O-M"PROM is one hell of a pain. After going to the most recent one it was a really big hassle but fun. From the guys view its not that much trouble comparing to what girls have to do so i shouldnt even be complaining. It probably is an important…"
Alanna Krivanek commented on Lauren Olson's blog post P-R-O-M"Prom is definetly wayy to hyped up, especially if your only a junior. This year my boyfriend and I considered this our "practice prom" I didn't get my hair or makeup done, my garter was just plain white, and i had the same…"
Ashlyn Jensen commented on Lauren Olson's blog post P-R-O-M"Prom is sooooo hyped up. All people care about is perfect dress, perfect hair, perfect date, perfect makeup, perfect everything. And if something isn't perfect well, the world is just going to end!!! I mean yeah I know I cared about getting a…"
Kaity Drahos commented on Lauren Olson's blog post P-R-O-M"I totally agree that prom is insane. But, now that I've been there I totally understand why. I had so much fun and I can't wait for next year. With all that being said, it was SO much stress leading up to it, it was hard to handle. I was…"
sabrina nash commented on Lauren Olson's blog post P-R-O-M"yes, prom has definitly become more hyped up today. girls try to compete for the 'best dress' and sometimes come across the drama of having the same one as another girl. there's always the drama of who's in your prom picture…"
Ashlyn Jensen commented on Lauren Olson's blog post Gingers: Why so much hate?"I definitley agree with some of the points you've made, but w/ others I see things from a different point of view. I agree that in some cases, people take making fun of gingers to point way beyond where it should ever be taken, and yes…"
megan majewski commented on Lauren Olson's blog post P-R-O-M"i think prom is hyped up, but in a good way. it is your time to shine and get that perfect dress or date because it only happens twice in your life, well usually. it is a great night to experience so alot of drama is going to come…"
Megan Teschner commented on Lauren Olson's blog post Gingers: Why so much hate?"i think everyone has made a ginger joke atleast once in their life. i believe that peoples hate on ginger is racism. just because theyre different doesnt mean people should treat them differently and make jokes out of them."
Megan Teschner commented on Lauren Olson's blog post P-R-O-M"prom is a great high school experience. yes, it might be hyped up a bit but thats what makes it so amazing. its a night that every student should be able to enjoy once in their life. the only thing thats "bad" about it would be how much…"
Grace Stapleton commented on Lauren Olson's blog post Gingers: Why so much hate?"Yeah, I don't understand either. The whole "gingers have no souls" thing got old fast. It seems to mostly guys the have red hair that get bullied. Girls not as much. I have a friend who dyed her hair red and she calls herself a ginger…"
Josh Jyawook commented on Lauren Olson's blog post P-R-O-M"I think that prom is a great experience for high schoolers to have and not going would be a huge mistake. Not only is it really fun, but it leaves you with memories you won't be able to replace at any other age probably until your wedding.…"
Lauren Olson commented on Keely Ward's blog post Midwest disasters"I think in this area we are pretty safe and don't have to worry about tornados. I couldn't even begin to imagine leaving through a tornado like the one in Missouri. It would be so horrible to loose everything you own and have to rebuild…"
Lauren Olson commented on Connor Bieda's blog post College..Ready or Not?"I am so excited for college, I have done a lot of research and even though community colleges are a viable choice, financially. I think universities also offer a maturity lesson and that's what I'm most looking for going away to college."
Lauren Olson commented on Davy Mellado's blog post What is creation?"I heard that Darwin was actually a Christian and his wife was a devout Catholic, so he was hesitant to publish his work becuase he believed people would misunderstand it. I think the public interpenetration of his theory is total crap. Every year…"

Lady Gaga: 21st Century Individual
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta could be considered one of the most iconic people of the 21st century, but she is better known by her stage name Lady Gaga. Despite being famous for only about four years, Lady Gaga has risen to wordy fame. What makes Lady Gaga so special, in my opinion, is her uniqueness; she isn't a cookie-cutter Disney pop singer.

Gingers: Why so much hate?
When does a joke turn into prejudiced and eventually racism? I wouldn't say that America is on the verge of a ginger-genocide, but the jokes have increased in the last few years. I think of a Ginger as anyone who has red hair. Ginger is defined by the Urban Dictionary as, "A human, characterized by pale skin, freckles and bright red hair.
"Gingers" are generally considered to be inferior to their more
melanin-rich brethren, and thus deservingly discriminated…

- Hi, Lauren. I'm trying to approve your blog, but it won't let me at the moment. It might just be Ning misbehaving, or it might be that little bit of red code that is appearing after the video. Do you see any way to get rid of that? Thanks. I'll keep trying.

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 :)"

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
