Whether they end for a reason or last for a season, the best friendships one engages in during one's lifetime can significantly impact one's growth or experiences. Despite the perceived strength of a union, reality television can potentially destroy a relationship due to negative portrayals of friendship. Through the influence of production or their male co-stars, the manipulation of female-centered friendships in this genre can contribute to young female audiences feeling that true friendship does not exist.

Since the 1990’s, elected officials in numerous states have made unsuccessful attempts to lower the voting age to 16, sometimes even younger. A constitutional amendment to lower the US voting age to 16 would require approval from two-thirds of both houses of Congress and three-fourths of the state legislatures. Yet, the majority of Americans oppose this idea due to adolescents’ lack of maturity and knowledge of politics.

A student's time in school persists as a critical period in their lives, in which they spend the majority of their day. Therefore, eliminating homework would provide students with more leisure time, enabling them to rest up and perform at their highest level in class.

Sunsets boast a variety of colors, depending on the status of the environment, time of day and position of the sun. Light rays cause light scattering, causing different colors to shine through the clouds. Dust particles and pollution also play a role in how the sky looks when setting. These factors determine whether the sky will turn blue, pink and purple, or red, orange and yellow. “If it’s a darker color sunset, it makes me feel more of a relaxed feeling than a lighter sunset. When darker sunsets are really visible I just like to open my window and get stuff done while feeling at peace. Same with a light sunset, but it gives me more of a lay down, chill and listen to music feeling,” freshman Emily Ivers said.
