The crystal-covered, LED-filled ball’s drop in Times Square, NY will ring in 2017 before we know it. Many of us have already purchased confetti poppers, whistles and gaudy New Years' themed glasses to anger elderly neighbors with when the clock strikes midnight.

Column: The Reality of High School Life

I still have memories of waking up and feeling ill on a school day. I would open my eyes, perhaps start to get ready. But it would not take long for me to knock on my mom’s bedroom door and feebly tell her how I felt. She would place a thermometer into my mouth, and I secretly crossed my fingers a...

This school year has been an interesting one so far. A freshman student set a soap dispenser on fire, giving the rest of the upperclassmen a fantastic opinion of the ninth graders. A light-hearted video was made and showed around the school, only to get deleted because of the technically illegal use ...

It was hard to know what to expect going into high school. I heard plenty of different things from different people, and all of them seemed to contradict each other. Some would say that high school really was not all that stressful, that I did not need to worry myself. On the other hand, I would hear...

This past week I decided to venture to the "Moments" icon on Twitter and noticed a headline that was interesting, "How Women Are Written in Hollywood" by @femscriptintros.

I spent Sunday morning on Youtube, watching Stephen Colbert on “The Late Show” make every possible joke he could about the 2016 presidential race.
