Cheaters Never Win!

Plagiarism is a raging epidemic that is only getting worse with each generation of students. It is obviously much easier to simply copy and paste loads of information onto a word document and call it an essay. This is exactly what teachers are scared of. With more advanced technology it is making cheating easier and easier, and students are figuring out better ways to to this. As smart phones are becoming smarter, as well as the kids using them, more students are graduating each year who literally admit to have cheated in school.

I believe that every single student has had a personal experience with plagiarism, if they say they haven't they are probably lying to you. It is a sad thing to see your own friends getting through school when you know that they cheat on amost every assignment. Having seen this firsthand I know that this happens in many situations and, even scarier, there is nothing that can really be done to stop it. I suppose it is possible to slow it down with certain rules and regualtions, but there seems to always be a way to get around it. If cheating is the only thing helping students graduate, I don't see a very intelligent future.

Snowy Heaven

    
     I woke up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee as I stretched and jumped out of bed.  I walked towards the drapes and swung them open to see a large resevoir surrounded by beautiful layers of snow and vegetation. The sense of Christmas was in the air and everybody was happy. I can still remember the feeling of stepping on snow in bare feet. It was like sand only much, much colder... obviously. Whenever I'm in the snow, I get this sense of happiness, like there is nothing in the world to worry about.

Diving into a Hershey's Kiss

Eating a Hershey's Kiss is like diving deep into a raging waterfall filled with creamy, decadent chocolate. As you swim around in the soul of the Hershey's Kiss you feel this overwhelming, warming sensation throughout your body that simply makes you smile. There's nothing like placing a Kiss on your tongue and letting your saliva dissolve the chocolate, until it has literally melted in your mouth. Little pieces of heaven, like a Hershey's Kiss, make life that much more enjoyable for all of us.
