Lauren Andersen commented on Rachel Izydorek's blog post Can We Fall In Love At 17?"I agree with kirstina too. I think love can exist at any age. A lot of my friends' parents have told me they were high school sweet-hearts. My spanish teacher (Mrs. Houchins for anyone who wants to know) recently told my class that her husband…"
Joaquin Zuniga commented on Rachel Izydorek's blog post Can We Fall In Love At 17?"Like Kristina said, love can exist at any age with anyone. Just because you are young doesn't mean you cannot love another teenager. Just because there have been cases of two-weeks relationships and all they say is "I love you"…"
Patrick Norman commented on Rachel Izydorek's blog post Can We Fall In Love At 17?"i dont know what to think about this. yes i believe that most teens dont know anything about love and preceve it wrong. I think regardless of age you can fall into love."
Kristina Lopez commented on Rachel Izydorek's blog post Can We Fall In Love At 17?"I believe love can exist at all ages. I have been in a relationship for two and a half years, which is not easy in high school. Relationships take time and work to form. I'm not here to lecture on how to do this, but I agree that some people…"

Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock: "The Star-Spangled Banner" 1969
"i know everyone loves this video and theres symbolism and whatnot, but i personally find it really annoying. this honestly just hurts my ears. To me it just sounds like a 4 year old playing with their older brother' s guitar in my opinion.…"
Rachel Izydorek commented on Justin Park's blog post Commercials.. You love them or you hate them."commercials often annoy me, which is why i record shows so i can skip through commercials.

Bing Crosby - White Christmas (1942)
"i know ill sound lame for saying this, but i love this movie.
i watched it with my mom when i was sick last year and it was really good.
there wasnt any hidden meaning in the movie, it was just easy watching and it made me really like this song.…"
Michael McWilliams commented on Rachel Izydorek's blog post Can We Fall In Love At 17?"I think it can happen but most people don't get what it is to have a lasting bond to another. It maybe something that just clicks between two people or just hard work and give and take to make it happen."
Grace Stapleton commented on Rachel Izydorek's blog post Can We Fall In Love At 17?"I think that it's possible but I think you're right. It doesn't come easy. A lot of teens get in relationships for fun when in reality, they barely even know the person. I've been dating my boyfriend for over a year now and it…"

As you walk down the halls you can see couples everywhere. They're holding hands, walking together, kissing goodbye, or running late to class. Later that evening you look on facebook and you see it's so and so's anniversary and they're professing their love via statuses and wall posts. Check their phones and you'll see the same "I love you so much <3" messages. They say they love each other everyday, but are they really in love? Or are they just saying those three important words…See More

Rachel Izydorek commented on Patrick Norman's blog post False Sense of Security?"i understand the reason behind id's, but putting it in my pocket or a wallet wouldnt be any different from throwing it in my tote the second i walk past the monitors in the morning. They rarely notice if you arent wearing it. i wore my work id…"
Rachel Izydorek commented on Michael Weber's blog post Should Finals be Important?"Finals kill me every semester. i'm not good at studying so i never know where to start, and then i spiral downward into a crazy stressed out mess. i think finals should be optional. some seniors choose to take finals in order to pass a class…"
Rachel Izydorek commented on Kaity Drahos's blog post Foreign Language: High School or Elementary School?"i think adding foreign languages to elementary schools would be really beneficial. America is so behind on culture and language. I mean we're the country that says "you're in America, speak English (or American for those who truly…"

Loser Like Me
So this week on "Glee" the theme was “original anthems,” and it got me thinking about individualism and our abilities to step out and be ourselves. Most teenagers find a need to conform to one group or another. We are told to act one way, dress this way, say these words, and if we don’t follow the rules of our group, then we aren’t accepted. High school students are obsessed with their image, whether that image is to be different or to fit in. If you think about it though, what do…

Helping End Hunger in America?
I was talking to my sister’s friend the other day and in her business management course at University of Alabama they started discussing these things called Non-Profit Paneras in St. Louis, where their motto is “take what you need, pay what you can.” This really got me thinking about if these restaurants were a good idea and if it would actually work.

Where Oh Where Did Our Dream Team Go?
This past June, the Chicago Blackhawks made history by winning the Stanley Cup for the first time in 49 years. They also ended the longest drought in NHL history. Not only did they make hockey history, but they also saved Chicago's sports teams from further ridicule. The Cubs haven't won in 101 years, the Bulls haven't been amazing since Michael Jordan, and the Bears, lets just not talk about the Bears. The Hawks made us die-hard fans extremely happy, while their success picked up some new fans… Continue

- Rachel -- Take a look at how I tweaked those hyperlinks. Does that look OK to you?

- One of my favorites. Go for it.
You can load it as a video with a little of your commentary, or if you have enough to say about it, you could maybe make a blog out of it. Please let me know if you have any questions about either of those processes.

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
