It seems like when I talk to friends and family that have graduated from high school they either loved it or hated it, but I don't think I can choose just one of those options. While looking back on my high school experience, I realized most of it is all a blur. Not just because it passed by extremely...

The fact that I’m writing this right now honestly scares me. Yes, I knew I was going to have to write this, but that doesn’t mean I’m ready to. By some chance of fate, I ended up taking newspaper in my sophomore year even though I hadn’t signed up for it. I’d always enjoyed writing, and ...

My high school journey was like a four season series on the CW channel. There were cliffhangers, jump scares and happy scenes, but every “episode” made its mark on my life. The beginning of my freshman year was exciting. I was wide-eyed and ready to start this new chapter of my life. Although it...
My skin should not make me a target

Since the murder of George Floyd, I've repeatedly looked at myself in the mirror trying to find what makes me a threat. I look to find the one thing a cop would see before he decides to shoot me. I couldn't find it. As a seventeen-year-old entering my senior year, I think about the possibility that I could di...

For most people, if you're not online learning or eating, you're watching movies or television shows. I recently got into the Star Wars movie franchise and even though I never thought I would be interested in the movies, I am now somewhat obsessed. Every night for ten days, my family and I sat down...
How to stay productive in quarantine
Natalie Helsel, Associate Editor
May 12, 2020
The combination of having no structure to my day and waking up at 11am instead of 6am has caused my motivation to plummet; I tend to stay in my bed most of the day and don't get much done, but I plan on changing that. Recently, I've taken little steps to become more productive. I'm learning to become...
