This may be the laziest post ever, but bear with me…I’ll write a real post later! I have some ideas floating around in my head, but I need to do a bit more studying and essay writing first. Until then, I’ll fulfill my blogging addiction by sharing some interesting things I’ve read over the week!

1. A UK town shut off all its lights so people could see the stars: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-16607293

3. Save the bees!: http://www.grist.org/food/2012-01-13-honey-bees-problem-nearing-a-critical-point

5. Bad habits you pick up growing up poor. I found this bittersweet: http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-5-stupidest-habits-you-develop-growing-up-poor/?wa_user1=3&wa_user2=Weird+World&wa_user3=blog&wa_user4=feature_module
