HOW TO FIND A CAUSE AND FIGHT FOR IT!
Forlorn and lost because you haven't found a cause! Well, don't                               (verb)! Activists are made, not                               (verb, past tense)! If you're looking for ideas, try reading some                               (reading material, plural) for ideas, a                               (noun) like the New York                               (noun, plural) or a progressive magazine like                               (the name of the magazine you are reading right now). Ask some of your more socially                               (adjective) friends what makes them angry, and odds are, the causes they suggest will make you equally                               (emotion).


Say, though, you choose to fight on behalf of disenfranchised                               (noun, plural) living in Southern                               (geographical location). Your first task will be to form a committee of                               (number) or                               (number) of individuals willing to                               (verb) to make things better. With your committeee, you may decide to devise a petition or stage a                               (verb)-in.


But no protest is complete without a                               (adjective) rally; at Columbia, your best bet is                               (Columbia location). Your committee can hold up                               (noun, plural) and chant “                                                                                          ” (first line of a famous poem). You might also consider inviting                               (celebrity) to                               (verb) about                              (a cause). If you want some publicity, you might want to                              (verb) a passing Columbia administrator, yelling                              (adverb) that your cause has too long gone                              (verb ending in “ed”).


If at first you don't succeed,                               (verb),                               (same verb) again, because Rome wasn't built in a/n                               (unit of time), and what kind of activist would you be if you gave up right away? And a hunger strike never                               (verb, ending in “ed”) anyone.
