Driving Me Crazy

I drive an ’89 Ford Mustang. Half of the time people don’t even believe my car is a Mustang. Most people can’t even look past the peeling grey paint and the old fashioned rims with spokes that embody the essence of the economy-focused ‘80s. However, I do admit that the body style of the car itself,... Read more »
Death and Aging

I recently watched two of my close friends attend the funeral of their grandpa. I know a number of my peers have lost a grandparent in the last year or two. We’re at a point in our lives when many of our grandparents have reached an age where their health begins to decline. My own grandpa, who... Read more »

Friendship tends to carry different meanings at different ages. In kindergarten, your best friend may be the person who shared their glue with you. In middle school, your circle of friends might include teammates or neighbors. Freshman year, the circle might have expanded to people with similar likes... Read more »
Positives and negatives of birthdays
January 27, 2010 • Sami Hobson, Sports Editor
Filed under Opinion
I know, I know, birthdays happen every year. Usually they come and go with a few presents and maybe a party. Then the next day you’re “one year older” but really only two days older than you were before your birthday. That always confused me. And for about a month after said birthday, you... Read more »
Hot Old Men

Mature, established, forever handsome, and aged like a fine wine. Older men embody experience, intelligence, and deliciousness. It’s a natural thing to be attracted to older men. Many studies show that women are attracted to men that are about 3.5 years older than them while guys are attracted to women... Read more »

Enjoy it while you can

Sitting around the fireplace, holding hands with your family, and singing “Kumbayah,” probably sounds like your plans for the break. Timeout. Actually, this probably doesn’t sound like the most thrilling plan, and most of us will end up spending our break alone in our room, or out with friends.... Read more »
Junk culture and you
October 19, 2009
Filed under Opinion
Anything we accept socially seems to be some sort of frenzy created by the media through movies, magazines and ads. The romantic and over done view of high school life seems to be filled with generic characters with generic plots. I have never watched a movie or TV show dealing with teen life and thought...

R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Whatever happened to that? As children we learn right from wrong, basic rules of respect and courtesy. But the standards of society are slipping. Civility is becoming increasingly difficult to come by. The recent behavior of Serena William’s at the US Open is one example. I understand... Read more »
Complaints About Cold Weather Complaints

Filed under Opinion
It happens every year, so I still can’t figure out why student are unprepared when the cold weather comes around. I’m fairly certain it isn’t rocket science, although I may be wrong, but when it starts to get below 60 degrees you’re supposed to wear warmer clothing. Still, every day I see my... Read more »
