Graduation. As David Foster Wallace said: “learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think. It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience.

That is real freedom.

A Day At The Lake On a hot summer day, the only good place to go is to the lake. You would go out to the lake to enjoy the water, the sun, the activities that are happening, or just to be with family and friends. When you're at the lake, there are some very distinct smells.

You'll never want to touch your hair from putting your fingers on the sticky marshmallow; to me it's just crazy

We would all get sunburnt and there would usually be an argument or two as my parents tried to maneuver the boat in and out of the murky water, but those trips to the lake are still some of my fondest memories from when I was little. We have since upgraded from our 18-foot Bayliner into something that can fit more people with more

"The manner in which individuals Seize the Day is opportunistic and may be at the expense of the ideals of others" The opportunity individuals seize to expand their power is achieved at the cost of moral integrity. Should these individuals seize the day for personal interests, and thus abuse their power, the privileges they derive from seizing the day will be short lived. Shakespeare demonstrates this in his tragedy ‘King Lear’. Through the exploration of Lear’s daughters, Regan and Gonerill,
