"Celebrities and Drugs"
I find it rather disgusting the way celebrities publicly partake in drugs and expose the children in our communities to it. Most small children and teenagers watch a good bit of TV through out the day. Every time I'm watching TV I find myself shaking my head. There are so many reality shows that one could watch with drugs being used like it's the new "cool" thing to do. Actors, actresses, and music moguls are very aware of the effect they have on their fans and the public and yet and still they carry on in ways that I can no longer stand to tolerate. Take rapper "Lil Wayne" for example who was recently checked into a hospital and put in a drug induced coma due to his obsession with "Molly and "Lean". I'm not even sure what those drugs are.

Assigned Entry #3 "ASU New Courses"
I read an article in the Arizona Republic on ASU planning to add more courses . With these courses students could finish a semester in seven and a half weeks as opposed to the traditional 15 weeks. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea. I, however, believe that it is a brilliant idea. We all learn at different levels and different speeds. For someone like me this is ideal.
Can you imagine finishing a four year program in just three years? Well I can and the sound of it has me on the edge of my chair! The thought of how much more free time I'd have to work and do the things that I enjoy would be enough for me to sign on today. Sure some people think it would be crammed and too fast paced to keep up or actually take in what it is your learning in the course, but not me. I see it as an all around better way for students of age to keep up with school and maintain their households. And did I forget to mention financially it would save students money each semester. I'm sold!!!
