To bring or not to bring
May 1, 2012 • Nikki Culver, Advertiser
Students bring too many items to college There are plenty of resources out there telling students what to take with them to college. What about those over packers who don’t know what to leave at home? Here’s a list of those ‘necessities’ that don’t need to make a trip to the dorm. Pets... Read more »
Sing a song (quietly)
March 19, 2012 • Nikki Culver, Advertising Editor
Bad singers annoy me. I can’t sing and I know that. Therefore, I don’t sing loudly in public places. My audience consists of my steering wheel and my shower head. With shows like American Idol and The Voice, as well as numerous other singing competitions, everyone has come under the delusion that... Read more »
Temple Run runs show
February 2, 2012 • Alexis Stewart, Staffer
Temple Run is the new latest and greatest smartphone game. It’s so much fun; everybody is playing it. The weird kid that always sits in the corner in the cafeteria during lunch, he’s playing it. The “popular” kids that can’t stop talking about who they would look cute with and how they’re... Read more »
Pinterest Predicament
January 30, 2012 • Nikki Culver, Advertising Editor
I must confess something. I am an addict. I am addicted to Pintrest. I have lead to the addiction of hundreds if not dozens of others. I don’t just pin things that I think are cute and interesting. If it’s a DIY (Do-It-Yourself, duh), I try it. If it’s a hairstyle, I experiment with it. If it’s... Read more »
Where will I use this?
January 6, 2012 • Josh Radkowski, Assistant Sports Editor

Football: the favorite twin
January 4, 2012 • Dustin Sanders, Staffer
When it comes to sports, football is always in the spotlight. Why does the football team always get the coddling? There are a variety of sports at our school, but most of our money goes to our football team for supplies and very little of it to other sports for their needs. Our football team has three...

Santa’s not real?
December 17, 2011 • Nikki Culver, Advertising Editor
The year was 2004 when a cute and innocent eight-year-old Nikki cheerfully skipped down the stairs to make gingerbread cookies with her grandmother. Those cookies were going to be put out for Santa. I was so excited that this jolly old fat man was going to come and bring me presents! I stopped in my... Read more »
I think I’m fat
December 15, 2011 • Caitlyn Bogart, News and Features Editor
Starving yourself is not okay Ok ladies and gentleman, let’s have a little heart to heart. Yes, I see you there, starving yourself to death because your body doesn’t look like the super models in the magazines and on the TV. And I know that it’s hard to live in a world where you are immersed... Read more »
Bundling up for winter
December 9, 2011 • Ashley Braun, Opinions Editor
Students should be allowed to wear winter coats in school. Winter is coming up and more and more people are wearing coats, sweaters, long sleeve shirts and hoodies. In high school, most students have grown as much as they are going to and they have paid a lot of money for the clothes they wear. Students... Read more »
Everything’s fair in love and war
December 7, 2011 • Ana Meraz, Web Editor
High school. The time for partying, studying and of course: dating. When approached with the last word many people tend to smirk at how cliché it sounds, but, believe it or not, it’s a very controversial subject, especially when it comes to age difference. The typical high school couple is one maybe... Read more »
