How To Be Cool
Cool is probably the second most over-used term in a teenager’s vocabulary these days (see my article on “swag” for #1). I personally am not an expert on the subject, but I have made some observations regarding coolness in general, especially how to be what is perceived as “cool.” One problem high schoolers have when trying to be cool is they don’t realize that people of differing morality and maturity think different characteristics are cool. This is a list for classy teens who want to come across as cool to other classy people. So without further ado, here are ten ways to not only look cool, but to be cool as well. 1.

And how about Aragorn from the Lord … Read entire article »

Almost everyone has an automobile. I recently turned sixteen, and I now have the ability to drive a vehicle by myself. There are countless types of transportation, and it’s amazing how many human traits and personalities you can see in the automobile realm. You see, every person has, by default, a personality. Likewise, every car has certain distinguishable traits (I suppose you would call it a carality?). Now, I do have certain likes and dislikes in automobiles that you may not agree with, but for most of these comparisons, I think you will be able to spot the similarities. For starters, let’s look at the minivan. It’s hardworking, but not too flashy, and it’s probably light-colored. There are usually some juice or food stains on the upholstery, left there by the … Read entire article »
