Graduating high school seems like a giant step, and the biggest one current seniors will face this year. However, our life changing moments will not begin for a few months.

I would contend that hockey’s Stanley Cup playoffs trump any playoff competition in the world. Yes, the world. However, I have heard arguments by sports analysts and sport fans alike this spring that other playoffs are better than the Cup playoffs, in particular, the NBA playoffs. Contrary to what SportsCenter says and shows,...

Have you ever loved something so completely, so fully that you think nothing can ever or will ever compare to it? When I watch my favorite show, The Office, that is how I feel. The cast, full of identifiable characters yet, still too outlandish to be real, serve as my model of how to live my everyday life. The plot, a beauti...

Over spring break, my mom and I took a driving trip that led us through different places in Georgia and Florida. One of the main focuses of the trip was seeing a couple of professional baseball games. I saw three different games, one in Atlanta and two in Florida.

It is common knowledge by now that prom is followed by more afterparties than anyone can count, and that these parties typically have so much drugs and alcohol present that any DEA agent who happened to walk in would drop dead after their heart stopped from shock.
Leading up to these parties, people always talk excitedly...

We have a tendency to think that the United States is the best nation in the world, and I’m completely fine with that. I agree, as it happens. However, even as the so called “best” nation, this doesn’t mean that we don’t have our flaws, and many of these flaws have gone ignored for far too long.

While many of my peers are renting their limos, making reservations for 50+ people, and blowing literally thousands of dollars on dresses, I've decided to skip prom. Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of a ceremonial coming-of-age event but honestly there are about a thousand other places I’d rather be than at our high ...

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has spoken. They have also given college athletes the power to end collegiate athletics as they are known today.

Some of you may have seen--who am I kidding, we have all seen someone at sometime wearing leggings to school. Some regard them as a delightful fashion trend, while others disagree, seeing them as distasteful and not classy. The ultimate question every girl must ask herself before wearing leggings is “Can I wear these like r...
