I never thought it would be like this. It’s not that I didn’t think this day would come, or that I never thought about what it would be like, but I never would’ve imagined it would feel like this....
It’s that time of year again: March. And with that comes the madness. This year was no exception as March Madness was in full swing and no seed was safe. Because so much happened, I’ll break it down...
A wave of death crashed over me. I slowly made my way forward step by step because in that moment that’s all I could bring myself to do. Follow routine and rely on muscle memory as my brain was simultaneously...
I’m typically not a huge fan of awards shows and have rarely watched the Oscars in the past, but this year was slightly different. I sat down with friends and watched from the red carpet to the tribute...
This is an ode:
An ode to all
Who make it possible
For the world to
Function as it does.
Believing in something greater,
Something that lasts, and
Finding goodness...
Project Chuck was back again this year as high schoolers made their way down to CMS in January to spread the news about drugs and alcohol to the middle schoolers. For those who don’t remember, the program...
It’s that time of year again. Exams are upon us, and your semester grade is on the line. You’re stressing and calculating the exact grade you’ll need to keep your grade in the class. This is the...
I’m not really a fan of New Year’s resolutions. Let’s be honest: most of the time they don’t work, and all you hear is how long someone kept it up before they couldn’t anymore. The most common...
The atmosphere was tense and the sea of black shirts anxiously stared as the ball was thrown into the air on Friday night. The varsity boys basketball team began their season with some new faces on the...
What is the point of writing? Is it to ask questions? Is it to give answers? Is it to express the thoughts of the writer? Is it to engage and make the reader reflect? What can I write about that would...
Expectations are a double-edged sword.
A sword that can proliferate intensity and a sharpening of determination as well as be a deadly weapon. It can be used to cross a battlefield in a fury of strokes...
With the winter sports season looming, one team looks to carry their momentum from last season’s great postseason run. The girls basketball team, who made the quarterfinals in the state tournament last...
It’s a pretty simple pair of pictures. They’re next to each other and they only have slight differences. In both of them there are three kids, each bigger than the next, and three boxes. In both pictures,...
We’ve probably all done it before. Felt the exhilaration of leaping from the springiness of a diving board into a cool and refreshing pool. It’s a great feeling and an extremely fun activity, but,...
It's weird to think about endings. A final destination that, until it happens, only seems like a far away light at the end of a tunnel. It's weird to finally reach that light, reach the end of the tunnel,...
Recently, someone in my sociology class did a survey about cheating for a project, and the results made me ponder. I thought about cheating and how it seems like just another thing that goes on in high...
The girl with the sign taped to her back that she’s fully aware of. The other one walking by her handing out candy to the senior guys. The one dressed in ridiculous overalls with her hair put up in some...
Here’s everything you need to know about my opinion on dances: you should go. It’s that simple. I’ll give you a whole article on why you should go and why they’re really not that bad, but in the...
Everyone has seen the changes from last year. There are computers and phones out in every class and people are on a device for most of the day. But these changes aren’t just affecting the students. No....
I was already pumped up for senior year, but now I know it’s going to be the best year ever. After the senior retreat, some of my fading acquaintances are becoming people I talk to again, I’m in touch...
It’s senior year. The last year of high school. The last year until I’m living on my own. Watching last years’ seniors move away to college is surreal, but also overwhelmingly scary. That will be...
All good things must come to an end. But why can’t the new beginning be just as good? This is what the boys basketball team is hoping for after having an incredible season last year.
With a phenomenal...
