A Young Perspective
IV heat Matters
Moving on to college can be stressful time
By Elyse DeBruyn
For most of Ontario's students,
half of the school year is over. they
will soon be rejoicing the much-
needed, but not long enough summer
vacation.
After the holiday, many students
Will start their first year of college or
university. Along with the excite-
ment of moving out and becoming
independent comes the nervousness
Sarah's Side
and fear. (For most people anyway).
Moving out can also be one of the
most stressful obstacles to overcome
in a person's life. There are many
things to consider when someone
moves out of their parents' home and
into a world as an individual. How
much money is there in the bank?
What about rent, furniture, food.
Who will my roommates be (if any)?
Where would be the best place to
live (close to the college or work-
place).
On top of all this comes the stress
of waiting to see what college or uni-
versity will accept you. This can be
very disappointing or very exciting.
I hope to get accepted to Niagara
College and take journalism. If I do
get accepted, I will have to move
down on Sept. 2.
Now there is one little problem
with this, my cousin is getting mar-
ried on Sept. 1 and I am in the wed-
ding. I know it will be fun, but I am
going to be so stressed as it is with
the fact of moving out, and I don't
know how much I am going to feel
like driving from Toronto to Welland
the day after a wedding.
Last of all going on to college to
experience bigger and better things
will be a once-in-a-lifetime change. I
will try new things and meet new
people, but I am going to miss my
friends. We are all going in different
directions in life.
I am happy to have made the
friends I did, and I am so proud of
everything we accomplished in our
high school lives, but it is soon time
to move on. Life won't be the same
without my friends, but I will always
remember the good times.

scariest movies of all time, as
it is the sequel to Silence of the

Last year my boyfriend didn't give
me anything he bought in a store, he
wrote me a song.
That song meant more to me than
all the flowers and chocolates in the
world. The fact that he took the time
Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore)
and her fellow agents, tracking
down a mob leader. Things unfortu-
nately turn sour, leaving Starling to
suffer the consequences of her
actions.
Meanwhile, across the seas a man
befriends the infamous Dr. Hannibal
Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), and dis-
school or will we go straight into the
workforce.
These decisions we must make can
cause an enormous amount of stress

tacts Starling with his news.
The movie then continues on with
Starling trying to track down Dr.
Lecter with an ending that will
frighten, disgust, and in so many
words shock you.
I was surprised at the movie,
because it wasn't as horrific "as-
not unappreciative of me. In fact, it's
quite the opposite. My boyfriend
knows that I don't need flowers and
candy to know that he respects and
values me, and besides, he's not a
materialistic type of guy.
Why do we only have one day of
everyone thought it was going to be.
Although the ending was pretty
gross, it really wasn't as bloody as I
expected.
TO say the least, it wasn't scary for
me, as most sequels are never as
scarry as the original, but children
obviously shouldn't see this movie
as it is Rated R.
