A couple of days ago, SparkLife reporters told us about how Bush went to Louisiana to express some presidential thoughts about the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

When one wants to watch this movie, one must approach it with an open mind—without prejudice.
When news of a film version of Pride and Prejudice being made was first announced, it was met with fairly mixed emotions. I thought, however, that many met it with contempt.

We’re not here to point any fingers, but we’ve been hearing from a few reliable sources that the class of 2006 is responsible for the lowest SAT scores in thirty-one years.
Some may claim a longer SAT is the culprit. Others will say that all this reality TV is finally taking its toll on the brain cells of test takers nationwide. Whatever it is, blame is not the way, people. Instead, let’s take a moment to look at the positive side of things:

If there’s one lesson I’ve learned over the years, it’s that the older people get, the more they like to give advice to those that are younger than them. Ever try and ask your dad about his long-lost experience in college? He’ll either go on and on about how university offers you “once in a lifetime academic opportunities,” or take you on a trip down memory lane to a time when he wore bell-bottom jeans and listened to the latest “groovy” disco record.
Seriously, when on the brink of entering your first year of college, you’ll need to get all your questions answered without having to listen to lame lessons on the importance of higher education. If you want to avoid having to picture your dad looking like Fez on That 70s Show, College Knowledge: Things to Know Before You Go is a must. The short, straight to the point, conveniently sized, and easy to read guide is probably one of the best ways to get all the advice you’re looking for, without all that unnecessary, wordy fluff found in a lot of other books on the topic.
