I posted a comment on Margaritaville's blog discussing the risks and dangers of Mexico right now, and our need to pay attention to the news.

I made a comment on Paris Hilton's blog. It wouldn't let me enter the URL but if you are looking for somewhere to live next year go to Rogers Healy. They are really great there and specialize in helping SMU students with something affordable.
Sickkk
I’m not trying to complain here but I am SICK of getting Sick. This entire semester I have gone from one illness to another. At the beginning of this year I started out with the flu. Not only was I confused how I had gotten it considering I received my flu shot, but when I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with it they told me that the vaccine doesn’t always work. Hmm, that was when I began to worry about what was being done to keep the students healthy.
SMU of all places I would have to say is very responsible for maintaining a healthy atmosphere for us. However when it got to the point that state law regulated the school to shut down if 15 more people were diagnosed with influenza, I knew it was bad.
More than just the flu I have heard people with Mononucleosis, strep throat, pneumonia, and many other serious illness’. Anyways the question that comes to mind is what are we doing wrong that can lead us to such serious wear and tear on our bodies? Is it our study habits, the late nights, or the living environment? It has gotten to the point where I have realized it’s not what we forget to do that makes us sick, i.e. not drink enough water, not take our medicine, not sleep, it’s what we do that leads us to our “death bed”. By partying, staying up late, and convincing ourselves that we are ok, we drain our bodies of everything we have.
So why do we feel the need to beat our bodies down? Like I said I’m Sick of being Sick. So I’m protesting my normal ways and getting myself healthy again. You should consider it yourself too.

Why do people cheat?
I was reading an article the other day in a magazine about couple's and the percent that are faithful to each other over a long period of time. The statistics were ridiculous, less than 40% of couples are true to each other over lengthy intervals. I wondered how one could live with themselves once they had done such a thing. This exploration soon became a reality.
In the past week I’ve been hearing stories of couples and ex couples hooking up with other people and cheating. Never personally having experienced such an instance I sat back and looked at what it has done to people. It tears relationships apart; it damages friendships, love, and trust. So why cheat? I can’t bring myself to understand the concept. Why is the idea of being with someone else so fascinating? If you are happy with the person you are with, why hurt them? And if you're not happy with someone then you shouldn't be in that relationship. You break up with someone before you become unfaithful.
Three friends of mine have recently been cheated on or done the act of cheating. Nothing good has come out of it. They’ve lost the people they truly love and made enemies with the people who they never did. They have become alone and they can only blame themselves. So it brings me back to my question, as I sit and watch my friends cry themselves to sleep at night, what does cheating justify? What do you prove by such an act, and what good comes from it?
