You know, say what you will about the ravages of sports in this corporate age where overpaid athletes expect prima donna treatment, but there is still something so unifying about sport in its purest form, when athletes rise above themselves and touch greatness and, in doing so, remind us all that we also have greatness inside of us
Earlier this week I watched the series finale of One Tree Hill. Today I watched season 6’s finale (the last episode with the characters Lucas Scott and Peyton Sawyer). I first started to watch this show seven years ago, and seven years later, I am still in love with the characters.
So let me tell you about this little show. It is not like the O.C. or Gossip Girl; it is so much more than that. It is a show about these youths striving for their dreams, whether it is excelling in basketball or writing a novel. It is a show about them trying to be happy and trying to make a difference in this hard world. It is a show about strengths and weaknesses for no one is perfect and it is a show about redemption and forgiveness. It is a show about making yourself a better person. And, it is a show about friendships that never break and a love that conquers all.
OTH is my favorite show ever (sorry Charmed and Gilmore Girls), and I think I Iike it because I could relate to the characters so much. They each have such ambitious dreams of making the world a better place (whether it is through basketball, writing, or music) and they all face so many rejections throughout the show, but in the end they make it. Their stories have encouraged me to keep striving towards my ambitions, for according to OTH, the world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it.
A lot of people say that watching television is a really bad habit. Well, not all television is bad. Because I think I am actually a better person for watching this show. And someday when I am a famous civil rights lawyer and someone asks me what inspired me when I was young, I will say To Kill a Mockingbird. Oh and a small television show called One Tree HIll. :)

Love is patient. Love is kind. Love is strengthening each other’s hearts and minds. It is the greatest story ever told. Surely, it is a story you are lucky if you can tell it when you are old.
It is seeing Sparks Fly when the name lights up the phone screen. It is staring with wonder when the person isn’t looking. It is head thrown back, with boisterous laughter. It is fingertips straying across the face, eyes closed, to remember the grooves and dimples and eyelashes. It is always feeding the other person before feeding himself. It is taking long walks to explore houses. It is the sleepy murmurs declaring to wake him up if the other’s stomach hurts and it is the hand clutching against the blanket to warm up the other’s stomach. It is dreaming beautiful futures of changing the world with each other.
Love is laughter, love is understanding, love is selflessness. And finally, love is taking each other, for all of our greatnesses and weaknesses.

Toby Ng - The World of 100
Have you ever asked yourself, what would the World look like as a small community of 100 people? Probably not. However, it is something to think about, as the reality would be startling - as much as you’d think so, the village would only have 7 computers, and only 1 person in the World Village would be educated at University level.
These facts are something that designer Toby Ng has thought about very carefully, and turned the results of his findings into a series of twenty infographics depicting ‘The World of 100’. Although aesthetically beautiful, with sharp lines and bold, vibrant colours, these infographics are often horrifying.
The posters look as though they have come straight out of a children’s book; is this to mirror the naivety of those that are most likely to be looking at them on their computers?
“Look, this is the World we are living in.”
- Toby Ng

I’m part of such big and small things, but the college education one especially moves me. I appreciate that I am going to college.
I agree brother, I agree.
