Why I'm Majoring In Forensic Science And Criminology
Cameron Hogan

Some guys and girls right now are thinking about which party to go to tomorrow night or how hard will they work to get one concert ticket that can easily be bought for 40 bucks somewhere else. But they continue to increase in recklessness and toxic behavior. Why? Oh because it's cool to be a bad boy now of course. When I was four and a half years old I was watching the news. Alone, I saw the first and second plane go into those towers. When I grew up, I realized it was a terrorist attack. My aunt (not disclosing her name) is working in the CIA; two of my relatives work in the Pentagon. My family has a history of international foreign counter terrorism agents. Now I know working in those fields won't be an episode of 24 with me as Jack Bauer. But protecting the United States from terrorists foreign and domestic runs in my family. The CIA, Pentagon, FEST, CTD, etc. They aren't gonna be easy to get into.

But I will. Not because of family. But because I have to. Because there are extremely bad people in this world that you people don't know anything about. My goal is to become a CIA Field Agent in WMD. Or to be in FEST (Forgin Emergency Support Team). Our world is being invaded by ideology and a consistent fear is taking over our lives. All I really want to do is to make the world a better place. Travel will do some good in the world and help people in foreign countries make sure people are safe and that they never let their guard down and that you will always strive to be better than who they were yesterday. I really just want to travel, get the bad guys and do some good in the world because I'd rather kill a murderer or rapist than have a chance to kill him and not, and let him get away and become free. Killing him was better than him being on the street and it would prevent him from doing that again to someone someone's wife, his daughter, someone's son, someone's husband, someone's brother, someone's uncle, someone's grandparent, someone's boss.

The world isn't what we thought it was. It is far more complex and it's far more unyielding to those who can shape it to their will because it'll save you if you're not careful. That is who I am. I want to do the best I can for this world, leave my mark. Maybe give me a gravestone with my name on it, that'd be cool, or maybe just throw my ashes on the top of the stairway to heaven in Hawaii, that'd be nice. Yeah I think that'd be my way.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
