- Culture
- December 8, 2015
Millennials have long had a reputation for being the “Me” generation, a label which seems increasingly accurate as many college students exhibit a hyper-sensitivity, narcissism, and entitled attitude toward life.

The debate about gun control is raging once again, and to be honest, I’m already bored of it. By saying that, I don’t wish to belittle the seriousness of the issue.

The public school system has become a minefield that’s increasingly difficult for parents and students to navigate.
