This country is currently focused primarily on the issues of health reform and economic reform, but aren’t we forgetting one? During President Obama’s campaign for the presidency, he promised change in education, too.

Ask any fast food employee the most stressful day of the week, and you will be shocked to discover that it is that of the Sabbath Day. Not surprised? Then perhaps you are aware of the common rudeness of customers,most of them having just left church.

Personally, I am very confused about Obama’s health care initiative, as I know many other people are. And since many people are confused as to what Obama’s goals are for this plan alongside some gossip concerning coverage of illegal immigrants and funding of abortions, many people are against his plan in total.

One of the biggest things I’ve learned in my first year at Arkansas Tech is how to deal with people on a day-to-day basis, especially how to live with them. As a relatively private person, I was apprehensive about living on campus with many people that I didn’t know; I had a complete stranger for a roommate and had to share a community bathroom with the rest of my floor mates. As this year reaches its end I have learned a few things about residential life that I think others could relate to, and perhaps help those who wonder about living on campus.
