About Justin Cox
Justin Cox is a twenty-something youth minister who dabbles in web design. This site is his window on the world where he mindlessly chatters about his various interests. He's going to stop talking in third person now.

Constant Controversy
Gotta love it! So a week ago today I made my editorial debut in the Orlando Sentinel’s New Voices section proclaiming how college is easy. Well evidently my little article that could turned into the talk of the town overnight. People either loved it or hated it. They either laughed or got steamed. At first I was kind of upset that people didn’t take it for what it was: pure comedy–with a dash of the truth. But then I quickly decided to bask in the controversy that I had created. It’s not everyday you can bring a town up in arms. Then, mid week, I found out that not only were people talking about “When College is Easy,” they were writing about it too. In fact, two reactionary opinions are being put into today’s issue of the Sentinel. In true “fair and balanced” style, the wonderful editor of New Voices Michael Murphy ran both a conforming and dissenting opinion. So, without further adieu, I bring you links to these articles:

some may wonder if i am upset with shannon for writing a dissenting opinion and to answer that i say nope. i actually praise her for doing so. but, just to set the record straight, meterology was a requirement for lib arts and i don’t use thoes sites to check out professors until after i set my schedule.

Yes, just so everyone knows, I was not angry at Justin and I was very proud that he was in the paper. Still, as someone who constantly corrects Justin’s grammar, I couldn’t let him show me up. 
Seriously, I just wanted to show a different side, and I wrote it before the whole controversy on this website. Anyway, enjoy my article, because I have been so busy writing essays for school (being an English major and all) that I have been neglecting the website this semester. So anyway, Justin, you really should check on your professors before you register.
