  • I love the scary message from the State.

    “In the guidance released Tuesday evening, the education agency said students, teachers or school districts participating in ‘inappropriate political activism’ could face the following consequences: […] Students being marked absent and districts losing state funding.” (source)

  • do i have time for this?

    In PA 326, Intro to the Non-Profit Sector, we are supposed to find and work 35 hours over the semester in a non-profit. While 35 hours doesn’t seem like that much, the more I look at my calendar, the more I am unsure how I’ll be able to do that. I’m going to speak with…

    I’ve had this idea for some time now and I think it is ready for a public forum. Being a full-time college student is a full-time job. We’re in the classroom between 12, at the least, and 30 hours a week, depending on labs. Plus, we’re expected to study at least an hour a day…
