	The TV Characters With the Best Style By Agatha Brandfield-Harvey March 26, 2013 - 3:11pm Fashion is a big part of TV. In my opinion, the audience evaluates television show characters by their attractiveness and style. The main reason many people watch television is for "an escape" from everyday life. However, people also watch television programs for companionship with fictional characters; viewers have a tendency to get attached to a character after a couple of episodes and then develop a desire to act or even dress like them. Costume designers strive to make the main characters in certain TV. shows appear enviably fashionable, whether it is a Hampton avenger, a gleeful high school teenager or a wild child in order to dazzle the average viewer.

	"Spring Breakers" Review By Tyler Boudreaux March 26, 2013 - 12:58pm Harmony Korine has done it again.

	Why Do We Lie? By Agatha Brandfield-Harvey March 22, 2013 - 6:00pm In our daily lives, we all use lying as a protective mechanism in order to accomplish a desired end. We generally lie to others and to ourselves to get out of doing trivial things such as chores, homework or things we prefer not to do. We frequently say, “I can't do it” when we face a doable task that seems impossible at the time. Humans often do not realize that we are capable of so much more than we think. Whether it is discouraging ourselves regarding exercise, finishing an assignment or tackling the unimaginable, the same lie tends to be utilized. READ MORE
