My Issue With Cats
BenG, Staff Reporter
April 6, 2017
I have two cats, Rey and Pilot, both whom I love very dearly. But I've realized my problems with these cats spurned (pun intended) on by my attempt to write this piece in the first place. Firstly, they are either incredibly needy or incredibly lax. Rey, for instance, will, as soon as I walk upstairs...

Stay calm- This may seem like an obvious one, but it is one of the most important. Take deep breaths and relax. Everything will be okay. You will not fail because you don’t get number 48 right. Do not panic- Contrary to what you may think in the moment, you DO know the answer. You would n...

March 27, 2017
These days you would think that with the majority of students having access to technology, movies, TV shows and more, that the value of reading would have decreased.

March 16, 2017
Only a few of us have been fortunate enough to have successfully planned and gone on vacation without anything going wrong. Maybe you missed your flight and had to reschedule.

What My Mother Taught Me
KaeT, Social media editor
March 10, 2017
I’ve never blamed my mother for being strict. In fact, I’ve come to appreciate her tight rules and no-nonsense attitude she inherited from my grandmother. Is it irritating to get a ten-minute lecture after making a joke that might have been a little risqué or dark? Of course, always has been...

KiaraS, Copy Editor
March 6, 2017
Each year the annual kickball tournament draws in hundreds of students, faculty and other community members.

The Polarization of Politics
LeahT, Staff Reporter
March 2, 2017
Here's my problem with politics: I simultaneously find them interesting and annoying. I love hearing different sides of a story- different opinions and perspectives- it's what runs the world. Because if everyone thought the same then how interesting would the world be? It makes us realize that not everyone...
Neutrality
Bennett Richardson, Staff Reporter
February 27, 2017
I am aggressively supportive of my passive nature. There is nothing wrong with being patient. That is an opinion disguised as a fact, but it should be considered. While some lean towards aggression, I have always been one to reserve my thoughts until the situation clears enough for me to give an honest...

TeresaH, Staff Reporter
February 14, 2017
I once overheard, “I might have my first ever B on a report card this semester.” Now hearing this made me feel… bad. First B? There was no real reason for me to be bothered by this, after all, this was not something that I personally struggled with, but it did remind me of another incident....
Overambitious
ColinH, Staff Reporter
February 9, 2017
In modern day high schools, students are getting more and more ambitious. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as students are becoming more productive members of society before they are even fully fledged members to begin with. But a quick conversation with a parent or someone of the previous generation...
Thanks Junior Year
KyleR, Acting Managing Editor
February 2, 2017
When most students think about junior year, they think about the horrors of what it is. Between SAT, ACT, AP tests and general pressures to get into college, junior year has been described as the worst year of all four high school years. However, through all of the stress and pains, I am thankful for...
