We gather in a giant room with boxes of tissues everywhere, staring at the letters spewed across our laps. I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much in my entire life. Senior retreat was the most moving high school experienced I have had. The stories and personal experiences that were shared... Read more »

I swear, every time I walk through the halls, I feel like Cady from “Mean Girls.” I literally see the jungle-like interactions. And when I blink, the images DON’T go away. Seriously, shut up and go to class. Half of the time, I have a headache and really don’t want to hear underclassmen screaming... Read more »

I have to give the school props. JC is donating 20 percent of the money raised from the Patriot Raffle to help out the earthquake victims of Haiti. Although I really haven’t heard much about the raffle this year, I’m proud of the administration’s decision. Haiti is in need of any help it can get.... Read more »

Finally, the school has recognized the art of yoga. I myself discovered yoga through my mother, who has been doing it for several months now. It is one of the most relaxing, yet challenging forms of exercise that I’ve ever done. I did thirty minutes of yoga after one of my runs and I felt absolutely... Read more »

“From now on, I’m going to…” I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve heard these words come out of people’s mouths. They claim that they are going to follow through with their New Year’s resolutions. They’re going to change this or do that, but they always end up either blowing it... Read more »

Television. It has become an extremely provocative media outlet. This fact struck me when I was watching an innocent Christmas special of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and a Reebok commercial came on.

During the assembly for the juniors and seniors on December 2, we were told that the next day was going to be some kind of dress-up day. First off, I wasn’t even sure whether we were supposed to just wear black and gold or to actually dress nicely. Second, I still have no idea why we did this.... Read more »
