I am a loyal believer in equality and have a quite explicit and probably ironic view. So hold the applause, below is a humorous and satirical Q and A with the classic liberal, the stinky republican, and the independent with all of the technically correct answers.
Q: What type of visa do I have?
Liberal: As long as you’re attractive in a way that doesn’t uphold the narrow Eurocentric ideals of beauty, it doesn’t really matter, does it?
Conservative: If you get a visa, the government is wasting money, if you don’t get a visa, ...

Every year, the formulaic responses from counselor to student is scrutinized and subsequently criticized, and it’s no wonder why. With the average public school guidance counselor in the United States having an obligation to nearly
500 students (a static ratio for over a decade) and half of the country’s public schools absent of a
committed counselor all together, students are not getting the personal attention they require or deserve. Affluent private schools usually have the funding for their students to be walked through the process; but the less advantaged students who seek a better future or a competitive college are being wronged by this lack of funding.
In fact, the average prospective high school senior s...

We’ve all had that one influential teacher that strives to, with the use of knowledge, shape us into better human beings. That passionate, hard-headed, yet loving individual whom, through years of very little appreciation, still managed to stick by the strong morals of true education. If you’ve experienced a bond with the person that I’m attempting to describe, as many of us have, writing a speech in his/her honor becomes a real struggle. I say struggle, because no matter what words you use or how you use them, in your eyes they will never truly live up to the greatness of the person they’re mentioning. So, what to do? Well, having been in your shoes, let me see if I can help. Writing a speech for a retiring teacher may not have to be as daunting as we first make it out to be in our heads. With the right guidelines and a clear direction as to where the speech will take its audience, whether it be giggles or tears or both, composing an ode for your personal Odysseus doesn’t have...

I tried one of these college admissions calculators myself. You’d think that as a college sophomore I am well equipped with the ways of the application process, but because I was fortunate enough to scholarship my way through the early decision, I am still a novice in the field. So, to do what all semi-professionals do when they secretly have no clue, I googled college admissions calculators and clicked on the
first link listed.
This website has you create an account and tell all about your personal information—where you’re from, all your test scores, GPA, rank, course rigor, etc. Then you list all of your prospective schools, and it spits out either (a) a scattergram of all the people who’ve self-reported their scores and grades and labeled them on this chart as waitlisted, accepted, or denied, and also adds a star where you belong on the chart. Then you can see whether Star You is close to the Green Acc...

I remember I had one teacher who was absolutely obsessed with charts when I was in high school. She would make us fill in huge paper diagrams, fill in the blank comparison charts, or complete a half of a Venn diagram; this amalgam of charts were supposed to make relating or contrasting multiple ideas simpler. What I thought was more strange than the charts themselves was her policy on sharing answers we had written on our charts. As long as we could understand what we were writing down, it was absolutely okay, even encouraged, to copy down someone else’s information. So, unlike basically every class I had during that period in my life, cheating was both for our own benefit and permissible.
I guess what this taught me, more than the actual content on the charts (which I did learn, in case you were wondering), was that sharing ideas and learning information for the purpose of having to teach that information to another student was the best way I have ever learned material. T...
