"I really like tanning. I love being tan. I just feel so much healthier and I feel a lot more comfortable in my own skin when I'm tan than when I'm pale during the winter. I have never been in a tanning bed and i never will go in one.…"

Meghan Byrne commented on megan bryk's blog post Live it up! The end is near"To be honest, I didn't even know about May 21, 2011 being one of the days that everyone thought the world was going to end til the of. I literally had no reaction towards it. I don't believe in any of that stuff. I think its all just a…"
Meghan Byrne commented on Nora Geissler's blog post We’re Alive on May 22... So Who's Ready for 2012?"I really don't believe any of this stuff. There have been so many rumors going around and so many different dates on when the world is supposed to end that its really hard to believe. I honestly think its just a coincidence."
Meghan Byrne commented on Kristina Lopez's blog post Volcano"This is literally the first time I am hearing anything about a volcano erupting and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Was this even on the news? I really do hear a lot more news on JBiebs and who he's dating or not dating. Its kind of…"
Meghan Byrne commented on Michael Weber's blog post Should Finals be Important?"I think that finals are pretty important. They do show what you've learned throughout the semester for the most part. But I do agree that they shouldn't be worth as much for your grade. I agree %100 with Alanna. I'd be much more…"
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…"
Meghan Byrne commented on Ashlyn Jensen's blog post The Terminator Terminates His Marriage and Possibly Career???"I don't think it should matter what he decides to do in his private lives. There is a key word there... Private. It is no ones business but their own and its not like its really going to affect how he does as governor. Even though its not right…"
Meghan Byrne commented on Gary Anderson's group What's NOT Wrong?"School is justa bout done and then back to Grayslake for the summer:)"
Meghan Byrne commented on Keely Ward's blog post Midwest disasters"Here in Illinois, there really is'nt any need for us to be worried about torandoes. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't take any pre-cautions. We have had tornadoes here, just not that bad like the one in Missouri."
Meghan Byrne commented on Connor Bieda's blog post College..Ready or Not?"I am sooo ready for college. At least I think i am. I'm guessing thats how a lot of us feel but I guess we'll know when we actually getto that point. I feel like a lot of kids get to college thinking that it'll be so nice not having…"
Meghan Byrne commented on Justin Park's blog post Commercials.. You love them or you hate them."First of all, I looooove that commercial. I think more funny commericials like this one should be aired. But then again, i just fast forward through all of them anyways."
Meghan Byrne commented on Megan Teschner's blog post What's the point of summer reading??"I agree with Ben. I think summer reading is pretty pointless. No one reads until a few days before schools starts anyways. I mean, I see the point of it... but i feel like they should just give us the list and have us read it at the beginning…"
Davy Mellado commented on Meghan Byrne's blog post The Future of Technology?"This is dumb. I'm sorry for being brute, but they should really focus on the flexible screen a bit more. Not "gestures." Learn how to make it more practical for an easy transition into todays phones. It looks stiff and unresponsive,…"
Meghan Byrne posted a blog postThe Future of Technology?
It seems that there isn't a day that goes by where we don't hear about some new type of electronic devise. Well, the latest invention is a Smartphone protype called PaperPhone. It was developed by researchers from Arizona University, Queen’s University, and E Ink Corporation. It’s basically a flexible phone. It can be operated by bending the corners of the phone to navigate through it and can even be written on with a pen. Apparently it does everything that a Smartphone can do. It can hold…See More

Parents and Facebook: they just don't mesh.
So let’s say you're on Facebook one day. You see at the top of the page you have 4 new notifications and, oh look! A friend request! It’s so exciting. So you go to see who this person is and you're disgusted to see that it’s your mom! CONGRATULATIONS! YOUR PARENTS JUST JOINED FACEBOOK. YOUR LIFE IS OFFICIALLY OVER. So what do you do now? I mean, you can't just not add them. You know they'd ask sooner or later why you haven't accepted. And it's not like you could just come up with an excuse…

iPhones. Seriously. What's so great about them?
Unless you've been living under a rock your whole life, you probably already know that Apple has come out with yet another new iPhone. This time though, there's something special about it. Ha ha. Just kidding. Its basically the SAME phone. All they added was, what? A camera so you can video call people? Yeah, it is pretty cool but what sucks is that you need the other person to have the same thing. Meaning, if your friend has the old iPhone, they can't chat with you that way. On top of that, it… Continue

Everyone's just a LITTLE bit racist, even if we don't mean to be.
So, everyone's a little bit racist... right? Right. Even if we don't mean to say anything, we do. We all make black jokes or say something about stereotypes. We ALL do. I do. I'll admit it. In most cases though, saying something "racist" isn't something to feel guilty about. Sometimes it's funny and everyone laughs and agrees... But then there's those other cases where you say the wrong thing at the wrong time. We've all been there. Especially when you say it to the wrong person who,… 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 :)"

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
