Well...energy is the 'driving force of life' according to the one University of Illinois' Science & Engineering department. There are many different types of energy. Wiki lists kinetic, potential, thermal, electromagnetic, chemical, nuclear, and mass.
As I'm sure every knows from their high school science classes that energy can't be created or destroyed. [Law of conservation of energy]
Outside of that, I'm not sure what we are supposed to be writing about...Energy is a force, or perhaps more realistically a property of objects that can be transferred between all objects and is the key force behind all actions.

Life without Mommy...
My topic for our higher education blog has to do with the differences from your life at home.
The most obvious difference to me was the idea of being your own boss in a way. There is no one to tell you what time to get up, go to bed, what to eat, or when to do your homework. A life with no wake-up calls and no curfews. While initially the freedom might feel good, the reality is that it's up to you to manage your time, and if you don't do it properly your not going to have such an happy-go-lucky life.
With the newfound freedom comes the cliché of responsibility. In addition to the class-work you need to be able to feed yourself, do your laundry, etc.
Perhaps your social life will be affected by the move to a college campus from your friendly neighborhood. I'd say on a Friday night there are a few more drunks wondering around campus than there are wondering my neighborhood at home.
