*Warning: This is a rant. If you aren't in the mood to read a rant, find some other blog to read.

So, I'm in my last semester of college, with a 4.0 major GPA (in biology), and a 3.98 overall GPA. Basically, I have to royally screw up my grades this semester in order to not graduate summa cum laude.

Which is why having a professor that grades so arbitrarily frustrates me so much.  Read More »

With the invention of planes and ocean liners, it has become remarkably easier to travel the world and explore all these different places. People can go from the US to China in a day, or spend the night on a plane and end up in Europe.  Read More »

Should women be allowed to become physicians?

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •

They are considering going to college, but think maybe they need a little break.

So, I've pretty much decided to make this a series, of sorts. I began asking the question, What is Death? and continued with What is Pain? and What is a soul? Feel free to check them out.  Read More »

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •  

So, we have heard it said, time and time again, that religion is an evil thing. One person even went to the point of saying religion has done humanity no good. So, I come here to explain what exactly religion has done in the past to benefit both society and individuals in that society.  Read More »

A Blast From the Past

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •  

Today, I got quite a surprise. I came home to find a Private Message on a message board I used to run. I haven't touched the message board in probably a year or so (there's a message from me saying that I hope 2007 is a better year than 2006).
