Spacey’s Bad Acting
Hey guys, I know it’s been a while-sorry I’ve been busy with college and start of the school year stuff, but I want to get back to blogging. One thing that has got me really interested back into contemporary affairs is the whole business of Kevin Spacey. Back when he was a young actor, he […]
Concussion
Recently, a study was published that claims 99% of National Football League athletes, who donated their brain to science, were suffering from CTE, or Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. This disease is a degenerative brain condition, leading to emotional, cognitive, and behavioral problems. The main cause for CTE is multiple hits to the head over a long […]
Affirmative Discrimination
As 10th graders prepare to start the college process, 11th graders are about to send applications, and 12th graders are about to start freshman year.
