Counselor’s Corner: Conflict and Anger
Deborah Glazer, M.A. L.P.C.
Hi everyone. I’ve been a counselor at Henry Ford Community College for 11 years, and I’ve recently been assigned the role of Behavioral Intervention Specialist. What this means is that if you are experiencing conflict with your peers, or with your instructors, you may want to come in and talk about it.

You just love October, don’t you? You get to dress up and let your silly side shine through. It is this side of you—your vulnerable, playful side—that attracts others to you. Why not let it shine through more often? Oh, yes, stop confusing your family’s concern for being meddlesome. They care about your well-being, and your accusations are hurting their feelings.

Review: Gears of War 3
Marrissa
Whoa. Where do I even begin? This game made me cry, it was so beautiful! Well, not really because of that, but I did cry. If you've ever played the other Gears games, then you probably expected this response from the start. So, I suppose we'll just go over the basics here, and then you can pass, go and grab a copy, or just play the one most of you already have.
Feminism 101
Liz Cianfarani
Feminism, to me, was always a bit of a tricky vocabulary word that was hard to truly define. I still thought it was important, though, and that’s why I decided to conduct this interview. Christen Helper, a history major at Henry Ford CC, sums it up as “equal rights.” I asked Alexandra Albert, an anthropology major at Wayne State that specializes in women’s studies to fill me in, and it made me realize how very sensible the movement really is.
How would you define feminism?
Conquering Fears
Sara Batten
The average dictionary definition of fear is a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, fear, or pain. We all have fears and eventually there is a time in one's life that it is time to overcome any fear a person may have. This past summer I overcame my fear of riding roller coasters. I went to Cedar Point with a few friends and of course the first roller coaster we went on was one of the biggest roller coasters, The Raptor which I would describe as a green monster.
