Should I Quit Band?
So, there's a lot of problems. My band only has about 20 people. 1 out of our four middle schools are sending up new freshmen to our band. I've also started losing interest in band. Most kids in band are either new/inexperienced, or they just don't practice, and don’t care. Most kids are just...

Recently there's been an apprentice program for a train company. The way their program works is that I would do it every other day. Basically, I go to school one day, and the apprenticeship another day. I don't know if I should do it because then I would have to quit all of my electives (Band,...

College textbooks are so expensive! Where can I go to get them cheaper?
After recently signing up for all my classes for my first semester of college, my jaw dropped when I saw my book list and prices. Each book is no cheaper than $80 and some go up to $300. I know knowledge is power, but does it have to be so expensive? Anyway, I'm searching for any good stores,...
