BR 1/30/14
1.) No way, although it would be nice. Only because I hate school.
2.) Since I am so used to it, I think it would be weird.
3.) Funny, but kind of sad because these people are so confused and upset due to 2 inches of snow when we have like a foot and are at school.

BR 1/16/14
1.) Yes, because I have always thought that Teen Mom/16 & Pregnant has always been more of a glamorization  than a form of birth control.
2.) I don't feel that Teen Mom has caused teenage pregnancy to go down, according to their "facts" or not. I just think it was the timing, not due to the show. In that show they think they are making their lives look so difficult with having to raise a baby while still a teenager. But, that's a load of garbage. Raising a baby is hard no matter what age or standpoint you are in your life. And, by being on Teen Mom with their "ever so hard lives" they are collecting thousands of dollars PER EPISODE. I don't feel bad for them, if anything, they are living life getting all that free money.

4 things I learned on 1/15/14
1.) Gerrymandering
2.) Republicans won on our team
3.) House of Rep. can be ran unlimitedly
4.) Must be 25 yrs. to run in House of Rep.

BR 1/15/14
Bill Clinton, because he made the United States better.

BR 1/14/14
1.) Joe Manchin & Jay Rockefeller
2.) Mary Poling

BR 1/13/14
1.) I don't know why people are being so negative towards West Virginia about the whole chemical in the water stuff. It's not like this is the first, or last time this will ever happen. There isn't much we can do about it except take care of it as quickly and efficiently as we can.

BR 1/10/14
1.) I think it could go either way. They will try to hard to keep everyone safe, but that's a lot of people to worry about.
2.) No, I'm too scared.

BR 1/9/14
1.) I feel that her parents should make the decision if she gets the tubes or not.
2.) I'm not sure how I would handle this situation. I don't think I could give an honest answer unless I was in their shoes. I would probably act similar to her parents.
