On a side note

To send a single college your SAT scores, College Board is charging $9.50! Not only that, but application fees for colleges can be as expensive as eighty dollars. We already have to pay an arm and a leg for tuition, room, and board if we get in. Why should they make us pay to simply apply to a school? ... Read more »
Four years time, change inevitable
Katelynn Colgain, Editorials Editor
November 20, 2009
It’s really hard to look back on my freshman year and think about the people I was friends with. Three years later, most of them don’t even acknowledge me in the hallway. This isn’t to rag on them, but it seems like this happens throughout the school. People change so much in four years that... Read more »

I say a silent prayer of thanks everyday because I don’t have to wear them. However, freshmen and sophomores,... Read more »

Katelynn Colgain, Editorials Editor
November 10, 2009
I have to say, I wish I could wear my backpack during school. The rule is a little ridiculous, but that doesn’t mean some students have the right to be rebels and disregard it. Although the rule is an inconvenience, it is true that carrying backpacks can hurt your back. When you have both a laptop... Read more »
