Every year it arrives, I always hear students grunt and complain about doing it. I was in English fifth block, which meant my class was one of the first English classes beginning the activity. When I wake up in the morning, running, doing push-ups and sit-ups and all the other stuff is the last thing I want to do. My class enters the halls around the varsity gym and we hear... 

UPDATE: IT’S OFFICIAL! So I’ve done a little bit of investigative journalism and I’m calling Denny’s out. And although both local restaurants and corporate offices claim they know nothing about it, I believe the free grand slam will soon return. Last year on the Tuesday after the Super Bowl Denny’s gave away roughly 2 million of them. And correct me if I’m wrong,... 

Today during newspaper I ventured around the school to check up on how the NHS Can Drive was coming along. Sadly, I discovered not many classes had brought cans. The only class I was able to find that brought cans was Choir. I’m glad they have taken the initiative and started bringing cans without any prodding; amazing job Choir. I’m sure there are other classes that have... 

I sat in the same spot as I did everyday. On the couch, next to Leslie where we would gossip about pretty much everything. But today was different. Instead of talking about whatever issue came randomly came up, Schimmy had a plan. She sat down in her famous, green arm chair and said this word I had barely even heard. “Sexting.” Well it sounded dirty, but I thought it was... 

The underground metro system whizzed by at a heart-stopping rate as I settled into the 1980’s sea foam green seats. The weight pressing down on my ruined feet was lifted, something that hadn’t happened since 8 am on July 8th. It was now 10:16 pm on July 9th. Through the broken time changes, I hadn’t slept for 31 hours. I was in the middle of Paris, France,... 

I sat in the corner of the Teen Leadership room. I glanced up at the clock. 2:45. There was a meeting today, right? A couple of girls dressed in volleyball uniforms, congregated on the green sofa. “Are ya‘ll here for the Pink Fest meeting?” “Yeah, we’re in Teen II.” Thank God. It was today. I was just there to write a story. A story about the new changes in Pink... 

How do you fit in with a new school? Who and where do I sit at lunch? Can anybody help me get to my next class? These are all questions I asked myself my first day at school trust me. For all you new students out there this one is for us. As I began my first day at a new school, I felt like I was in an elementary school all over again.  -Trying to find all my classes was a... 

“Congratulations, you’re our last.” No, I did not find the golden ticket and show up late to the ceremony, I in fact donated blood at the Vernon Newsom memorial blood drive today. Being new to the donation experience, I was amazed at how fast it seemed to go by.  After answering questions such as “Were you ever inside a juvenile detention facility in... 

Writing a blog is hard work. It requires commitment, time, energy, and focus. Essentially you’re building a relationship with a website and its viewers. And I suck at that. In case you haven’t noticed since the site came out, this is only my second blog post. What does that say about me? I’m not a very good opinion writer? Probably. Do I care what others think of my... 

People, and by that I mean my family and friends, constantly ask how I handle everything. Between newspaper, a podcast, debate, another podcast, writing, sleeping, and eating, I barely have time for breathing. So why am I saying this? Why should you care? Why did I suck up space on the recent blog posts to let you know what I think? It’s quite simple: I’m not the...
