The 80’s was a year of blasts.
This decade was filled mullets, shoulder pads, big hair, and bright colors. Queen’s, Blondie’s, and Michael Jackson dominated the airwaves. Ronald Reagan became president. Alfred Hitchcock died. John Lennon died.
Inspite of the deaths of the legends in that era, everything else was loud and perky and big. People in their high school years sported the trend that now many consider as something they have to defend or just left alone in a time capsule. ‘The bigger - the better’ was the hair philosophy of many students who braved the dreaded yearbook photo sessions.
And so, in the spirit of the 80’s, I present yearbook photos from this era that even a cold-hearted person would smile about when they see these.

Perils of Giving In to Laziness While Making your Essay
Laziness is one of the many temptresses that students face everyday. From the very moment they wake up, they are tempted to just stay in bed and just sleep all throughout the day. The moment they're in school, they are tempted to just sit and not listen. And when they arrive at home, they are then tempted to just put off tomorrow to start on the essay that was assigned as homework. They give both reasonable and unreasonable excuses for their laziness, but whatever those reasons are, at the due date, they al,
- Lose track of time. Students who put off writing essays for another day will end up not realizing the days that have gone by since the essay was assigned. They think that there are still many days left, that they have all the time in the world. Weeks will then turn to days, days to hours - and then the deadline is just 24 hours away. Students then cram to finish or even pay online for college essays when in reality, they can have just prepared and started on it earlier.
- Crams at the last minute. This is a by-product of losing track of time due to laziness. When you just realize that the essay is due in 12 hours, you drop all the other stuff in your life and work on starting (or finishing to those who are a bit more disciplined) their essay. You scramble for words and resources only to arrive at a beaten-around-the-bush work.
- Work is crap. Basically, an essay produced in let's say, half an hour cannot be at par with essays that were at least worked on for a day or two. A substandard essay will mean low grades and low grades will result to you working for extra credit which might turn to be additional essays.
