legal drinking age

i don't think the legal drinking age should be changed from 21 to 18. i don't believe that 18 year olds should even be worried with alcohol. even though 18 is considered the age of adulthood, 18 is also the time when you're supposed to be making life decisions and figuring out what you want to do in life. 18 year olds should be more focused on their futures rather than partying and drinking. 21 is harldy a good age, but i think its more sensible than 18.

"even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there."

this quote means that even if you are in a good place, you can't ever give up or stay idle or you will never reach your goals. you have to push and keep working toward what you want, no matter how far along you already are.

meghan mccain blog

if i were always followed by secret service agents, i think i would eventually go insane. at first i would appreciate the protection, but i like to have my privacy and be alone. even when i might be in a public place. i could understand how it would be a bigger deal if i were to become 'the president's daughter'. i think i just wouldn't go out as much.

dog dials 911

this is such a great story. i love animals so much. and i think it is wonderful that this man's life was saved because of his pet's good training. i've always dreamed of owning a pet that was cool enough to do things like that. like, open the fridge or a door, for me. and calling 911 in case of an emergency would definately be some useful training. i have two dogs, and they're both pretty smart, but i'm sure they wouldn't be capable of saving my life the way buddy did. buddy is just special.

homecoming 2008

i didn't go to the homecoming parade, dance, or game. i haven't been to a single homecoming event since i've been in high school. i would have liked to have gone to the dance, but i know my boyfriend wouldn't want to. but hopefully i'll be able to go to prom and i can make up for what i've missed out on. i heard it was kind of lame, but i would like to have the experience for myself to remember when i am older.

it's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all. - alfred lord tennyson.

i believe love is a very important thing. no matter what kind of relationship it is pertaining to. love is something i think everyone should have in their life. it brings happiness and it allows you to care for someone other than yourself. and if a loved one leaves you, or passes away, or decieves you, then the lessons you learned will always have an impact on you, as well as your decision later on.
