Is it so wrong to be different?
It’s always nice to be in the crowd, of course, but it actually makes me happy to see people go outside of the circle and do something different for a change. People who dress in exotic clothes, people who talk in a funny way, people who don’t care [...]
It’s spring break! Well, it’s been spring break for a while; I just haven’t had a chance to write in my blog until now … I just came back from Japan yesterday, and I really don’t want to think about going back to school on Monday. I went to Hong Kong over winter [...]
Body image. A person’s biggest worry. But really, why care so much? If you’re healthy, then that’s great. You don’t have to be 5′7” and 110 pounds to look good. And does looking good really matter when you feel horrible after going on a sudden crash diet? No, not [...]
Rules, rules, rules. Why do we follow rules? Wait … do we even follow rules? Why are there rules when people don’t even follow them?
It’s a pretty frustrating topic to think about. Sometimes, I wish people would just follow rules. I wish that everyone in the world would follow them [...]
Yellow on the outside, white on the inside – so, is that a problem?

“I don’t think we should get carried away with what listening to Dvorak is going to do in North Korea,” [...]
Sometimes I find myself wondering what it would be like to walk in another person’s shoes.
I ask myself, what would it feel like to be …
a criminal? When I think about criminals in our world, I feel more pity towards them than anger. I feel sorry that they had to [...]
Why does it seem like the world is turning into more and more of a chaos each day? Shouldn’t it be the other way around, considering how much we brag of our new “technological advances” to “make all of our lives better?” Why is it that people are acting up now more than [...]
“A child’s first fear, I’m told, is the fear of falling.” Gene Owens
If children aren’t safe with their own parents, then who are they safe
with? If children can’t learn to trust their own parents, then who
will they ever learn to trust?
When playing the trust fall game, most kids would trust their parents
more than they [...]
Are parents pressuring their kids too much these days? Is society pressuring kids too much these days? Are kids pressuring themselves too much these days? Seriously, just relax. Life isn’t about getting into Harvard or Princeton or anything like that. Sure, it would be great if everybody got accepted into [...]
