It was never a matter of if I’d be going to college, as privileged as that might sound, but more so where I’d be going. But even now, after deciding my college future, stress - along with my graduation cords - hangs heavy around my neck. This weight on my shoulders doesn’t come from the ...

The morning drizzle dampened the trees and driveway outside my house. The chill in the air was the type of cold that makes you think twice about going outside in the first place. I thought "Whatever," grabbed my gear, and headed out to the lacrosse fields at 5:30 a.m. Today’s practice was day ...

Decisions, decisions, decisions
November 7, 2018
For starters, Laney knew nothing and I was wearing a crop top. With a Halloween party on my mind, and Laney’s incisive voice rambling about a school project, anyone could tell we clearly weren't ready to vote. BUT there was a column due by the end of the week. So nevertheless, we voted. It w...

Constantly, we are told how much our actions define us, and how our actions will continue to follow us, especially in the age of social media. Brett Kavanaugh was 17 years old when he allegedly committed mul...

Autumn officially began on Sept. 22 and only after a few short weeks after, there have already been several noticeable changes.

September 25, 2018
Games in Ranger Stadium have one thing in common: students holding their "guns up," waving their school pride in the air as the school song plays.
