As in 2008, I find myself in a contradictory situation. With midterm elections approaching, I have now realized my opportunity to take part in one of the most treasured American values has come and gone. I am not registered to vote. It’s not that I don’t want to. One of […]

We find the administration’s goal of adding 1,000 students to the enrollment each year for the next three years to possess both positive and negative attributes. Obviously, we support growth in itself as a positive and we applaud the administration for setting such a lofty goal. If such an […]

Celebrities like Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Britney Spears live for publicity stunts. Driving on the wrong side of the road, hosting a show in which you select your “best friend” from a dozen hopeless wannabes, shaving your head and showing your business to every paparazzi by “accident” are […]

If someone were to make a movie based on your life, would anyone want to watch it? Those who know me know that I love watching movies. I could watch movies all day every day – and I actually do during breaks from school. I watch a wide variety of […]
