It is cool how in present day there are still so many things that we don’t know about the universe. Even in 2012, scientists were looking for answers that related to when the universe was formed, and they didn’t even find the answer back then. I personally think it is a good thing that we haven’t figure out everything about the universe yet,…[Read more]

Lindsay, I absolutely loved this post. You brought up so many good points regarding communal growth.I mean, humans are social beings after all. What are your feelings toward the statement “You must learn to love yourself before you can love others?” Where would that fit in? Do you believe it?

Lindsay,
I enjoyed reading your post. I completely agree with your standpoint that “people are our paths to happiness.” The part in your post that touched me the most was your last paragraph, especially when you write of purpose and how everyone plays into the way we build up our happiness. Because this is third quarter, my bitter-sweet side starts to come out more so I just want to relate this post to high school. I do believe that the people I have gotten to know this year have truly made me happy and felt that my life had been more purposeful. I am going to be sad when we all part, but we can all look at this experience as four years that we all impacted each other in special ways whatever that may have been. Thank you for your post.

Khlood- this is a really good poem, I liked reading it a lot. I think it is great that you decided to focus on all of the ways we are broken as a country, because it is a reason to be very sad. Each event or aspect you mentioned really saddens me as well, and I hope it saddens all of us. We should not be okay with the way things are going, and it…[Read more]

Cec- This is a great article, and I think you did a great job sticking to the facts. On such a controversial topic, it can be hard to look at actual evidence towards either side, or facts that don’t play into either argument.

In life, we often think that the only way to be secure is to be secure in oneself. Humans tend to feel like we need to prove something to ourselves, that we are independent and don’t need other people to be f
-
Lindsay,
I haven’t really thought about our dependence on family and friends which makes your topic unique. Insecurity and isolation are negative affects of the lack of social interaction and I agree with you when you said, “By believing that we need to be independent to be fulfilled, we are keeping ourselves from connections that we need in our lives,” because creating those bonds with people is crucial in becoming who you are and being happy. I really liked how you strengthened your argument by going into reproduction saying it’s a necessary part of living. Here is an interesting article that goes against your argument that I found interesting https://www.elitedaily.com/life/motivation/why-you-should-never-depend-on-anyone-but-yourself Looking forward to your posts to come.

Great post! I also thought that the anxiety that Winston feels really stands out. Orwell describes it in a way where we can understand Winston’s point of view, and see how difficult it would be for him to escape the situation. I think “paranoia” is a great word choice to describe what he was feeling throughout his whole life. I also liked you…[Read more]

Cicely, great topic, I think this is super relevant right now. Living in Utah we can see so many people being affected by SAD, and most of us are close to someone experiencing it.

This is a great article, well done! I think you are totally right that we need to look deeper into what we mean when we say we are American by looking at specific important issues. I liked how you brought up specific issues yourself such as immigration. I look forward to reading the other article you wrote to follow up with this one.

Trump’s decision to use bear ears was mindless and selfish. This article https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/04/us/trump-bears-ears.html by the New York Times gives a great view on the subject.

Hi Lindsay! I really enjoyed reading your post and I think you highlighted very important issues. The security of our elections is crucial, therefore we need to have some sort of voter ID laws. However, these laws can lead to discrimination resulting in an unfair election. As many of us will be voting soon it is imperative that we make sure we have adequate laws set in place in order to insure that we have fair and valid elections. I think people need to educate themselves more on this issue especially because voting is one of the most fundamental things within our political system. Here is a link to an article I think you would find compelling!

Hi!
Really interesting article! I like how different it is ( I would not have thought to write about it, yet it is still incredibly prevalent.) I think ID laws are such a tricky thing to balance, because we want as many people as possible to vote, but we also want it to be as easy as possible for people to vote, without any extra hassle. Here’s an aritcle about voting and women’s rights.
