Students, prone to the endless stimuli surrounding them on their school campuses, remain unaware of the impact of littering on not only the environment but also on their psyche.

Swift has maintained a spot as one of the top pop musical artists for years on end, yet the quality of her musical releases seems to decrease as time marches on, as clearly seen in her latest album. Instead of producing mediocre music, Swift should take a step back into her country era and use her talent and resources to produce quality lyrical productions.

Once a worker knows how to file their taxes, the ugly memory of all the money he or she cannot spend haunts their wallet.
