Picture this: a student is almost late for English class and desperately needs to find an open computer to print out a paper that is due.

The time has come for Flagler College to re-think its policies on dorm life.
More to the point, the time has come and gone. It was called the 1960s.
Many cash-strapped Flagler students might not realize that there are several ways available to save money in St. Augustine. One way to save some green is through student discounts. Several local restaurants, stores and attractions offer discounts that are only available to Flagler College students.

Back when Liberal Democrats actually had spines, President Franklin D. Roosevelt made a proposal during his final State of the Union address for a “Second Bill of Rights.” Roosevelt thought the civil liberties guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights could not by themselves give economic equality to the American people. He proposed an “economic bill of rights,” one of which was “(t)he right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health.”

We’ve all heard President Obama say he thinks health care should be a right for every American. I don’t think the government should be in the business of mandating the purchase of any good or service.
So what’s next? Will swimming pools, cars and house cleaners be “rights?” No, but like health insurance, they would improve our lives. If you cannot afford something, it is not the government’s responsibility to provide it.

Working at a restaurant is easy. If anyone tells you otherwise, they probably didn’t last very long in the business.
The job is simple: greet the customer, take the order, run the food, drop the bill and bus the table.

People still ask me to this day, “How did you not know?”
Well, denial is a peculiar feeling. I would know; I experienced it from age 11 to 17 years old. For six long years, I ignored what was happening to my body and tried to continue my life as normal as possible.

The little brunette girl behind the counter at the school bookstore couldn’t stop smiling when she muttered the words “$203.52.”
I was speechless once I remembered that this wasn’t the total cost for all of my textbooks required this semester, but just for one.
