I am a girl’s girl.  By any and all means, I am a girl’s girl.  There has been intense controversy regarding the “over-feminization” of certain bits of life, especially following the release...

As an avid Taylor Swift listener, enthusiast, and lover—pun very much intended—I don’t have the greatest feeling regarding Scooter Braun.  For context, Scott "Scooter" Braun is most notably known...

The thing about innocence is that it’s only there for a moment before it mocks us for trying to regain what we’d had before everything changed.  The memories of childhood naivety and a hopeful...

Dear Kylie, I’m sorry for dropping a marble egg on your eyebrow, but to be fair, you were antagonizing me, and I wasn’t having it.  I’m sorry for biting your belly button as a toddler, though...

What was your reaction to the court announcement? "I was really surprised, and I wasn't expecting it." How do you feel about being on court? "I am excited [and a little nervous] to be on court, and...

American Sign Language teacher Kimberly Anderson’s classroom is anything but bare: previous students’ painted wall tiles, artwork, and colored string lights are displayed in order to create a more...

I always thought the cute, small gender reveals were precious. A banner or a game or a cake revealing the sex of an unborn baby to the parents-to-be and their loved ones is a special moment all around. Gender...

Eventually, it will leave. It will be gone. Words cannot express the simultaneous heartache and felicity I feel.  It’s almost a grief, this feeling; a yearning for some miracle to occur, in which...

Junior Wes Baldwin has always enjoyed the game of pool, even when he caught himself in the wake of a very angry middle-aged man who had lost to him. Despite being young and having much less experience...

During her childhood, senior Alaina Lundgren had begun to realize that it’s not exactly normal for her joints to pop out of their sockets on a daily basis. While speaking to other people about it, she...

There’s nothing that hurts me more than the incredulous hate that our world, for some unknown reason, seems to revolve around. Anemoia is defined as the nostalgia for a time one has never known, and...

I know full well that I’m not perfect, but thank you for making me feel like a part of me could be. I know that perfection is ultimately unattainable. It’s an unachievable concept in its entirety....

“Me oh my / I found you under an April sky / And you feel like / City life, apple pie baked just right / Home is wherever you are tonight.” I want a ‘57 Chevy Bel Air so I can drive down backroads...

When people hear of any organization affiliated with Scouts, many automatically picture either a group of boys in the woods or girls selling boxes of cookies.  The Boy Scouts of America introduced...

Despite being quite possibly the softest person I know, some part of me has always been entranced by horror movies.  It started with the classics, more child-oriented family Halloween movies, such...

I once laid in my bed and listened to “Heather” aspiring to be the girl depicted in the song. She was everything I’d wanted to be. In loving the song itself, I became immediately captivated by the...
