Holi is the Hindu celebration of colors. It is a day spent chucking chalk at friends and family and the celebration itself is about inclusiveness, hence people from other cultures participating. When I went to Holi, I realized much of it was people that weren't even Hindu, half of the people probably didn't even know it was a Hindu celebration. And, after washing the chalk off places i didn't even know were there, I thought if the attendance of these free spirited teens and, lets be honest-to some degree inebriated -teens and college kids had offended the traditional Hindus.

Everyone knows the legendary movie "Mean Girls." It showed how messed up High school really is and lets be honest here, it hit the nail on the head. Girls in high school are fierce. They are cruel. They ruin your high school life without a second thought. It truly was hitting the nail right on the head. Even the Burn Book can be transferred to our everyday High school life, though the internet has taken over and most Burn entries are on Facebook or Twitter.

Abortion. It is a huge issue in religion, government and in general, society. But what is really behind it? What are other countries positions on it? What are the facts. Since I have been researching it I have found that many people against it only argue that you are murdering a baby. But when does it actually begin life? Is it when there is conscious thought because then, it would not be for a while after the fetus is conceived.

This year the Grammys were tinted with sadness as the world was informed of the loss of one of the greatest singers of our time, Whitney Houston. A tribute to her was sung by Jennifer Hudson, who nearly broke down in tears on the stage. However, with the death of Whitney, the show went on. Adele won six awards total, including best album and best record. The Foo Fighters came away with four. Katy Perry however, came away with a total of zero.
