I love the colder weather, the warm sweaters and the Christmas carols at the mall, but I really enjoy not being in school for weeks at a time. Now, I’m a pretty decent student, but even the best and the brightest need a break from time to time, and I’m getting rather antsy to start mine. ...

During the holidays you might feel driven to give these special individuals a gift, but struggle to actually seal the deal since you’re not sure what to get an algebra teacher for Christmas. ...

Just think of all the places that reading is necessary – you have to read all those questions on standardized tests, no matter the subject area. I swear the math tests have more reading than the reading tests sometimes. ...

With sleep playing such a crucial role in how you feel, act and perform each day, we should be sleeping nine or ten uninterrupted hours every night to rejuvenate, let our bodies grow and develop and allow our minds time to process ideas and learning from the day ... JeZz@JeZz.com Fri, 07 Nov 2008 05:00:00 +0100 http://www.thedollpalace.com/dollnews/The-Little-Things-aid5465.html Girl ScoutsI’m convinced it is the little things in life that make it worthwhile not just to me, but to others as well. While it would be wonderful to change the world or chart a new history for mankind, I’d be willing to settle for the knowledge that I’d done something each day to make someone’s world a better place. ... JeZz@JeZz.com Wed, 05 Nov 2008 05:00:00 +0100 http://www.thedollpalace.com/dollnews/Fall-Fun-aid5463.html Thanksgiving DollsIt rained today, and while this is not that big of a deal, it did make me realize that we’re officially in the fall season. It’s getting colder, Halloween has passed, and Thanksgiving (at least in the States) is right here. So naturally, as the rain brought with it a cold front, I decided to dig out my wooly socks and get officially ready for some fall fun. ...

Songs I’d heard and movies I’d watched told one version of the story, but the real deal is a bit heavier than I’d imagined. ...

When you’re having these kinds of days, it’s time to do something about it. ... JeZz@JeZz.com Fri, 31 Oct 2008 05:00:00 +0100 http://www.thedollpalace.com/dollnews/When-Relationships-Hurt-aid5443.html WonderkinsWhen a relationship starts, it’s wonderful to focus on how much fun it is to be falling into love or serious “like” and to obsess over every small word and look. It’s usually not until you think you really know someone that things change. It’s shattering to learn that the boy you thought you new has a side you’ve never seen before. ...

I had appreciated a girl’s look and style for a while, so one day I asked her what she considered her style to be. I already knew where she shopped thanks to a conversation about a particular t-shirt. Her answer was quite impressive, “I’m goth-emo-punk-anarchist. ... JeZz@JeZz.com Mon, 27 Oct 2008 05:00:00 +0100 http://www.thedollpalace.com/dollnews/The-New-90210-aid5440.html Beach DollsI’ve seen a few episodes of the original 90210 and I’ve taken the time to watch a bit of the newer 90210, and I’m ready to share my version of the truth on the matter: It’s different than the original. Surprised? I’m not either. It’s hard to explain, but the original show was interesting because the characters were so interesting – not really the story lines. ...

Not because I’m not into Halloween – I am, but because I don’t always approve of what they are planning to do. For example, I firmly believe trick-or-treating is for little kids. Once you can drive yourself from house to house, it’s time to move on to more grown-up activities. ...

Halloween costumes get more fun every year. As you get older, you're able to make your own costume or get especially creative with props and accessories from the costume shop. Here are a few of my ideas for awesome costumes this Halloween. ...

Sure vampires and werewolves are freaky, but the living dead, or zombies, are a class unto themselves. After all, they are the only “monster” that can really exist!ZombiesIn the movies and in books, zombies are the living dead animated in gruesome ways after death. ...

And what better way to enjoy the weekends than going to see a great movie? Of course getting into a movie requires some serious cash these days (unless you’re one of those horribly tacky people who skip from movie to movie all day to avoid paying for more than one), and most disappointing of ...
