Kids Grow Up So Fast
I don't quite yet know what I hope people gain from what I'm about to write. Is this advice to kids? To their parents? Maybe just a simple recap of the experiences I had when I was younger that can help both children AND their parents? We will see.

The Reality of Student Life
Ah, the student life: something that some experience, some resent, some live and some have absolutely no idea about. For the most part, every student tires of hearing the same old "oh students have it so easy," and how much "discount" we get on booze.
