When the month of October first began, all I could think about were possible column themes. Whenever anything happened I envisioned myself writing a descriptive and hopefully funny narrative about it, but deep down something else stood out to me. There was this one topic that I knew I would have... Read more »

Like most little girls at the age of 4, nothing significant impacted my whimsical existence of princesses and fairytales; nothing except the realization that magic did not exist. Each day, I would wander the neighborhood catching butterflies and picking roses that smelled sweet like my mother’s... Read more »

The ACT, the SAT and the ISP. Each is only a mere three-letter word, yet they have the extraordinary power to consume our lives for months. We work for hours upon hours to dictate our prosperity and our success in the future. I could sit here and tell you how I need to score excessively high on my ACT... Read more »

It started with my first word as a child, as my small rosy lips mouthed the word “momma.” It continued to grow as I began reading aloud my first Dr.Seuss book. It gave me enough backbone as a child to throw tantrums and speak my mind, whether it be over which floral dress to wear or over which new... Read more »

Pulling up to my usual spot on Valmar, I spotted five spaces further up that required parallel parking; however, I ignored them and turned up KIIS F.M. instead. I tuned in too late to catch the actress being interviewed, but I did hear Ryan Seacrest ask her what advice she would give to aspiring actors.... Read more »

This past summer I volunteered at a local day camp. When I took the position I was not exactly sure what to expect. I honestly did not think I would learn very much from any of the campers seeing as how they are between the ages of five and twelve. However, Corey proved me wrong. The first day he came...

I quickly rip off the waxy paper attached to the side of my steaming fries. With each tear, my heart pounds faster. The brightly colored piece falls off. Could it be? Nope, it’s just anotherConnecticut Ave.I shrug and toss the square lazily into my car’s center console, now overflowing with other... Read more »

My dog and I were never best friends. I considered us close acquintances; we both valued personal space, and we both handled our issues without physically jumping on strangers. I thought that this respect was my dog’s expression of love, yet when I saw my dog jump all over my dad and act as his secondary... Read more »

A political party is a group of people who share the same ideas about the way the country should be governed. But what truly makes someone a Democrat or a Republican? As I was sitting at home reading for US History about the first parties ever created, I asked myself to which party do I belong? When... Read more »

As senior year has arrived, I have found myself pondering what makes me an ideal candidate for any college I apply to. All I want to write in my application amongst all the rest of the words is that I am a hard worker, I will make your school proud and it is the perfect fit for me. But, then the black-and-white...
