Graduation represents opportunity to break out of the "box"
I've always been a five-year-plan kind of girl. In high school, I had my path to college all planned out by the end of my freshman year.

"Hookups" page represents ignorance towards sexual assault

Government cuts emphasize problems with social mobility
* Amid the speculative and fearful environment surrounding the federal spending cuts that began as part of the 2013 sequestration this past Friday, it is difficult to know what is actually going to happen.
Personal rights of psychiatric patients should not be ignored
In the past several years, the United States has seen a long string of mass-murder shootings. In 2007, Seung-Hui Cho murdered 32 people and wounded 17 in the massacre at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

Without getting into the neurological intricacies of the human brain, I believe that creativity is an innate part of our humanness.
Misconceptions of religion hinder tolerance
When the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which today includes most of New England, was founded in 1628, its Puritan governor John Winthrop said of the new colony: "we shall be as a city upon a hill, the eyes of all people are upon us." This famous quote was making a reference to Jerusalem, which is indeed a "city upon a hill," and John Winthrop's mandate was to found a religiously pure society that would set an example for the entire world to follow. Although not all of the 13 colonies got off to such a radically religious start, religion was a contentious issue that had a lot to do with the origins of our country. Today, the legacy of those origins still resonates deeply: much of the country still shuts down on Sundays; the religious activity of our politicians, and especially the president, are paraded before the public; and some of our most polarizing political issues stem from questions of religion. Given how deeply rooted our country is in religion, I found it rather surprising to see a statistic showing that significantly fewer Americans than I expected actually affiliate with one.
