  • Getting by or getting high: how “study drugs” can become a part of every day life

    By September 24, 2011

    The tale of the student who takes ADD/ADHD medication sans prescription is, to the modern day university student, a familiar one. Alex (an anonymous friend of a friend, or a character in a news story) is a great student, but needs more time for studying, the soccer team, and partying.

    I think it’s important to define rape culture, because I don’t think Templeton understands it, or took the time to investigate the meaning.
