Through One Act season we learned the each of us was in a Journalism one class, so when it was time to pick out our classes for the next year she convinced me to join newspaper. I’m very glad she was able to persuade... Read more »

This is it. The last story I will be writing for the newspaper of my high school career. Journalism has been very fun, and I would definitely recommend taking this class to the younger students because I know that they would enjoy it just as much as I did. Throughout journalism I have learned how... Read more »

All through middle school, I was trying to find a group, a place that I belong. I wasn’t a good singer, had difficulty just holding the flute, was an average student and definitely was not athletic. The first year of high school, I vowed to myself that I would become involved in school someway or another. I... Read more »

“What are you doing after you graduate? Where are you planning on going to college?” Those same questions arise in too many conversations, echoing in my head. I’ve gotten used to just telling people my long-term plans include donating organs and bodily fluids for money and living on whatever available... Read more »

So many hipsters in one line. I honestly did not know there could ever be that many hipsters, waiting in line to get into the Palladium Ballroom, waiting for Two Door Cinema Club to come on stage and start the show, waiting to forget their lives— if only for a few hours. It felt like a Dr. Seuss... Read more »

It’s difficult to explain to someone who isn't in the play. Someone who didn't stay after school until 5 or 6 p.m. four days a week. Someone who didn't have the honor of being involved with all of those wacky and wonderful people who make up the cast and crew of “Rough Magic.” Someone who didn't... Read more »

“If you are chronically down, it is a lifelong fight to keep from sinking ” ― Elizabeth Wurtzel, Prozac Nation The walls were beige and this was not helpful.

There are a set of common etiquette rules all people are expected to follow whether at school or even just in their front yard. I was raised in a house where if we didn’t respect our parents or the elderly it was considered the most horrible thing a child could do and was immediately punished for it.... Read more »

The argument is not an old one: Lady Gaga’s work derives generally from everyone who came before her — David Bowie, Madonna, Elton John and Grace Jones to name a few. Her aesthetic conjures imagery from nearly every decade and every genre of art and music. She’s an artistic encyclopedia, a combination... Read more »

Don’t you just abhor those sesquipedalian hotshots who use unnecessarily long words like “lugubrious” instead of “sad”? Do you feel as if the vast majority of concepts can be said using words that are five letters or less in length? Well, so do I. But I have a confession. Sometimes, I use long... Read more »
