  • Kanye West and Jay-Z do what they love

    In the mid-2000s, it seems you couldn’t watch a hip-hop video without seeing rapper Jonathan Mortimer Smith, aka Lil’ Jon of Lil’ Jon and the Eastside Boyz featured.
    He was everywhere and did collaborations with everyone from Usher and Ludacris, to Bay Area rapper E-40. Nowadays, it seems as if he’s faded into the background and made way for Kanye West.

  • Tips to help you get ready for homecoming

    You’ve got to love the homecoming dance, but the question is: what do you wear? Ok, let’s start with the basics.

  • Students get a taste of American life

  • Parents and teachers just don’t understand

    The teenage dialect is often mocked by their parents’ generation. When they are busy ruminating on the decline in society, as evidenced by their children’s actions, the topic of modern language usage inevitably comes up.
    However, a careful examination of the language reveals that these critics simply do not understand the next generation of the English language. Like so many before them, they have labeled as evil that which they do not understand.
    First and foremost, there is the language of the electronic communication. Adults tirelessly mock the teenager’s uses of “4” in place of for, “u” in place of you, etc. However, these abbreviations came into widespread usage out of necessity, not laziness.

    Being petite is something that I have little experience with, but short people seem to dislike being vertically challenged. The fact that I’m not petite doesn’t mean that I can’t understand the negative feelings that some people experience in being short.
    Feeling short can cause insecurity and as a result, some petites tend to hide their bodies in oversized clothing. This is not the way to go. Mind you, very tall people can feel just as insecure as petites, but this article will focus on some peoples’ difficulty in accepting their height.
