Nobody Said It Would Be Easy


As school comes to an end and we approach the we final two weeks things are getting crazier than ever. Papers are due, presentations are given and everyone is scurryingensure their final grades don't fall short of the bar.

You might think this time would be a breeze since it can always be expected, but that is not so. Still professors wait until the last minute to assign papers on top of the final exams.

However, when you think about the end result it all seems worth it. After four long years of stressing and worrying and hoping, you are awarded a degree that says "You are top notch". That simple piece of printed paper means you passed and when you look back you understand how important your journey was.

In just two weeks, I'll be a senior in college and I can already taste a little of that success. Yes it is difficult, but nobody said it would be easy.

How Important Are the First 100 Days


Whether it be President Obama or former President Bush, the first 100 days of office don't mean much.

During this time, the media is more lenient and watchful of words. It's also a time of transition, the president is just settling in. He,(someday she) is trying his hardest to make a good impression on America as the commander in chief. Rightfully so, the people elected him and now they want to be reassured they made the correct decision.

Truthfully speaking, you can't really tell much about what will happen in the next four years of the president's administration just by looking at the first 100 days.

While these 100 days have shown promise, its best to stay at a steady pace and not set yourself up for dissappointment.
