Even still, I find that those ratings are worthless and don't talk the the true content.
Still, I should have probably been a little more clear, as I didn't explain fully. We actually "unplugged" recently and have amazon prime and hulu accounts. It seems ALL the shows except for maybe the absolute children's content (think Barney) have really strong adult themes. Again, I'm not a prude and I'm a realist. I remember middle school for myself and the sexually charged conversations children have. I am fully aware that my daughter knows all of the situations in the programs. Still, I as her father DO NOT want to watch these scenes with her. Many a tv night is ruined with completely unnecessary and gratuitous scenes which are more and more teetering on full porn. Then I watch something with a TV-14 rating, and still, the commercial played is a sexually laced expletive marathon, which anyone who watches hulu knows you'll see that commercial at least 6 more times during the program. I even watched a south park episode with my daughter that I had seen before and knew was "clean". Didn't matter, the commercial on was for Adam&Eve, a sex toy website.
I'm just glad we're a busy family and don't watch much television anyway.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
