Give Us A Break

In many other countries, young adults are encouraged to work a full-time job before they continue towards a college level education or some equivalent. Not so in the United States of America. Parents seem to think that if their children don't go to college right after they graduate high school, they will never go onto higher education. But this year off can be huge in a person's life of self discovery. In my own personal opinion, the more experience they have in the working field, the better chance they know what direction they want to take their education.

Yes, No, Maybe So?

Decisions, decisions, decisions. Everything a person does requires some decision to be made. All these choices essentially boil down to a yes or no answer, unless you are in my generation. We (as a generation) have made the "maybe" answer the most popular. It seems as though nobody is willing to make a solid commitment regarding the big life choices. Even on simple choices such as which classes to take next semester, students often dwell on minuscule factors, such as whether any friends will be in a certain class, or what time it should be taken. This fear to make big decisions is one of many reasons this generation is stuck in limbo.
