“I’ma let you finish.” -Kanye West Certain people get a pass to act however they want— Steve Jobs, Madonna, Elton John. They’ve earned rights beyond the rules of common courtesy. If they were omniscient, they could be considered deities. From the pool of iconic tastemakers who have changed... Read more »

You’ve all seen them. The people in the halls a little closer to each other than you wanted to see. The ones who think they’re “in love.” They hide in the corners of the stairwells, making things awkward for the lonely individuals on their way to first block. Well, it doesn’t work. Not on me.... Read more »

My First Love When in intermediate school, I remember being egged on by all my peers to kiss the boy I was “dating” (more or less talking on the phone with) at the time because that was the big deal. I was not about to let this challenge go. I planted a big ‘ol juicy kiss on that boy because of... Read more »

It has been said that baseball is not just a game, but a way of life. I take this message to heart, while some people don’t think of it as a literal term. There are 162 games per year in a Major League baseball season, not including close to 30 spring training games and up to 20 postseason games. Baseball... Read more »

For many of my school years, I have been riddled with an aptitude of shyness and eccentricity constantly inhibiting me from fully expressing myself. When it comes to meeting new people, I’m quite a nervous wreck. My tendencies of blushing at the slightest amount of attention received, avoiding eye... Read more »

The Texas Rangers. Two time American League Champions. What some people believed to be the next Yankees. They were stacked to the tip with powerhouse players and fast runners.

Routine defines high school. Every day mimics the last to a depressingly monotonous degree. Every day I see the same couples PDA’ing in the exact same corners, as if sectioned off exclusively for them. I contemplate taking a different route from newspaper to sociology, but I suspect if I do the universe’s... Read more »

That deadly feeling in the gut, telling us we’re making the wrong move. We’ve all had it at one time or another and it’s something we can’t (or shouldn’t) get used to. It’s always that same, evil feeling of 101 homework assignments due the next day and, usually in my case, I haven’t even... Read more »
