Cell Phone AddictionBy April 12, 2013 - 8:46pm It’s the first thing you wake up to and the last thing you see before sleeping. You go into panic mode when you lose it and feel safe when it’s in your back pocket. Cell phones have become a part of most of the world’s everyday necessity in the past 15 years.

Walking around Oswego’s campus, there is not a person walking by without their cell phone in their hand or pocket no matter where they are.

Safe SexBy March 29, 2013 - 5:33pm Walking across campus people whisper about who they had been with the night before or how it’s great to make love with that special person you’ve been with for six months. But the question that is dodged most of the time is: Are you being safe? It is important to have a basic knowledge on how to respect your body and prevent sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy. Schools incorporate sex education in health classes and seminars around campus. Television shows such as “16 and Pregnant” and “Teen Mom” illustrate the consequences of unsafe sex and the many issues that encompass one moment of misjudgment. Although students nod their head in agreement of protection, they might not be taking the topic seriously. READ MORE... |
