Power of Choice

A poorly-conducted anti-drug campaign that aims to convince kids (via in-classroom surveys) that no one at their school is doing drugs.

The organization is best known for its "Stall Street Journals," which are hung awkwardly in bathroom stalls and often include innovative slogans like "87% of your peers prefer to date someone who DOESN'T SMOKE."

Since the surveys are conducted in classrooms, students often misrepresent themselves and their drug habits for fear of getting caught (or, if they are not drug users, for the thrill of lying).
Kris: As a freshman, I was honest on the Power of Choice survey.
As a sophomore, I said I was a Latina female who uses cocaine once per week.
As a junior, I said I was an Asian male who would prefer to date a smoker and who does not smoke himself.
This year, I'll either be a Native-American female whose parents don't ask where she goes at night, or a Caucasian male who uses ecstasy once per month.

I haven't decided yet.

Sophie's choice

Sophie's choice is referring to a decision that is unbearably difficult. Each decision has consequences. Facing Sophie's choice there is no easy way out.

In the novel/movie Sophie has to choose which of her lovely children she wants to keep sending the other to gas chamber. Had she not chosen, both kids would have been executed.
Mrs. Over-Elaborate had strong feelings for Mr. Busy. But she saw how much he loves his daughter and therefore decided not to fight for his affection. She knew she could, but she chose not to and moved on.

Mr. Busy hated decisions that affects others. He had loving wife and beautiful daughter and that was the obvious choice for him. But last couple months he had some small-time windows to spend with Mrs. Over-Elaborate. Those moments with her left an inerasable print in his mind and heart. The mixture of the feelings her presence represented for him was the wildest cocktail he ever had. The understanding they both had for each other, the joy from the time they spent together, the little comments and jokes they made or simply the feeling when she or he laid a hand on him or her.

Even though he was standing in front of a decision that was far from the one Sophie had to make, none of the options made brought him peace... From a certain point of view, he was facing his own Sophie's choice.

Sophie's Choice

It is NOT a difficult choice. It's a choice between two options that will results in the destruction of the option not chosen. A difficult choice is just called a difficult choice, IT HAS NO NAME because it doesn't deserve one for the dramatic effect.
A difficult choice is do you pick lover A or lover B and leave the other one possibly mad at you. A Sophie's choice is do you pick A or B and leave the other one DEAD, completely lifeless, future distinguished, no more fun experiences, and generally a bad existence (or lack thereof).
