There are hundreds of news stories a day, thousands a month and millions a year. But there is something every news story has, besides a sassy punch line or good looking reporter. A picture. As a hobby, photography has become a big part of my life, I love to take pictures of any and everything and often leave the house without some kind of camera with me. Professional photographers too take their cameras everywhere when on the job, looking for that one moment that expresses everything they see on their trip.

There is a game politics like to play with one another, twisting eachother's words and sentences, facial expressions and gestures to work against their opponent. This past week, political powerhouses Hilary Rosen and Ann Romney did a little more than clash, when Rosen, a Democratic Strategist, made a truthful, but apparently "two-faced" comment towards Ann Romney. Wednesday night (4/11) on CNN Rosen was asked about the supposed "war on women" (a term she doesn't approve of), and how most women in today's voting polls are showing interest and worry in the economy above anything else.

There is a virus I have been trying to avoid since I was in middle school, a virus so strong and powerful that even the best of students suffer from it. The procrastination virus. It has hit me rather hard in high school, despite my best efforts to avoid its powerful and enticing ways. All types of students have at one time suffered from procrastination, whether it be because there were other more important projects to do, or simply because you just wanted to sit on the couch instead of study for the math test, procrastination has been an all too familiar guest for us all.

Awareness. This one word is the center of Invisible Children’s 2012 campaign to stop Joseph Kony and his militia of child soldiers in Uganda, Africa. Invisible Children would like to make us AWARE of many things, most importantly and most recently they launched the “Cover the Night” campaign to make every single person in America aware of Joseph Kony and his child soldiers.
