College is the first step into adult hood. You are no longer forced to listen to instructions and do homework. But of course not doing so‚ can result to consequences. These years for me were like a roller coaster. The highs‚ lows and standstills made me learning responsibility‚ because I had no one to blame‚ everything that went wrong was all on me.

22.4: Burke’s protest of the revolution does not come from his estimates of its “extremist nature”‚ because he does not appreciate the extremities that are involved. He said that he was “incapable” of being in touch with those “who profess principles of extremities and who‚ under the name of religion‚ each little else than wild and dangerous politics.” That being said from what I have read about Burke‚ was that he was a religious man who believed that a man’s right was not an abstract principle‚

“The National Anthem Isn’t a Pop Song” by Mark Corallo Critique For many reasons‚ Mark Corallo’s article on Christina Aguilera’s performance does not fulfill its purpose in any great extent.
