What you do really helps the common man.

Thank You, Mark Brown
Tulane University Freeman School of Business

Mr. Brown, I would just like to say-- “Thank you.”

I don’t think you know who I am, but I know you very well. I’m one of the nameless, faceless men who come to you in times of need, celebration, and quiet reflection. I’m one of the devout followers who preach your word and promote you without hesitation.

You fight for those of us who lack pretention. We come from walks of life looked down upon by the elite- an upper echelon niche of society that wants nothing more than to dominate us bitter, lesser beings. You help us fight our day to day problems, and, even more than just that, help us fight the demons that plague us.

You give us an out; you let us escape from reality, no matter what form of Eden we choose from the many forms you provide for us.

We don’t have a lot, Mr. Brown. We never have. Hell, we might never have a lot. But what we do have is heart, and we’ve got it in spades. We live life one day at a time, many of us living from paycheck to paycheck. But we know how to have a good time, and we can give thanks to you.

Maybe you’ll never see this. Maybe you’ll never know. But whether you do or not is not important, as you enriched our lives way before I wrote this, and you will continue on way after.

So, thank you, Mark Brown. You may not know us, but we know what you do for us.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
