Drinking Age

The drinking age should definitely be switched back to 18. Soldiers can go fight and die, we can vote a president and other officials, go to jail, but can not drink legally? I think the police are wasting tax payers dollars by chasing down underage drinkers because it is easier to catch them then actually catch more predominant crimes. In other countries with lower drinking ages don't have any more crime rates then we do. I feel lik)e by the time that you're 18 you either know if you are going to be the type of person that is going to drink (responsibly hopefully) or not. Those extra 3 years do not really effect your judgement on the matter.

The careerists: "attend college as a means to an end: getting a job"

In this economy and day and age it is very rare a high school graduate is going to make enough money to ensure a comfortable lifestyle. I do not see anything wrong with only attending college to get a career, not a job. A career has the connotation of a long term and fulfilling employment. A job gives an impression of a temporary, un qualified position. I see nothing wrong with only going to college to make sure I get a career over a job. Not everyone has an academic mind, but it is important to push through it and have goals and dreams of supporting yourself and maybe even other close ones. The logical step to getting to that point is going to college first.

VCU Basketball Game

The game on Saturday just proved that VCU is superior to ODU. Talent wise, it seemed pretty evenly matched though because the score difference was rarely more than four points. It made the win seem even better since the score was so close. Now we are leading by 3 wins to ODU in basketball. It was really nice to see that even our 7ft tall players can still shoot threes and our point guard isn't afraid to take some shots. The last 10 minutes of the game was the most interesting though. They were back and forth in winning but what gave us the final win was our impeccable ability to have a whole team that can shoot threes and our defense was on point about rebounds.
