When I voted for the first time in November, I came in with high hopes for this administration. But now, I've just about had it with the utter incompetence of this administration.

When I sat down to watch Hidden Figures, I didn't expect it to leave such an impression on me. I originally went to see it because I love space and when I saw three women were in the leading roles, I was hooked. Hidden Figures, which has already $145 million, has been nominated for three Oscars: Best...
Conservatism is Not Trumpism
February 16, 2017
Filed under Opinion
The Republican party, which was once the party of Reagan, is quickly evolving, and not in a good way. It is slowly becoming the party of Trump. Conservatism is on the right side of the ideological spectrum, championing free markets and traditional family values. But, since Trump came down that...

In the ten days of Trump's America, the American people are clearly ready to resist. In every aspect, this time has been indicative of what the next four years will look like.

The other day, one of my friends was sad. No reason. She was just feeing sad that day. But when an acquaintance told her she shouldn't be sad because of the material things she has, I was upset. Many people go through phases where they are sad or depressed, and it's only human to be sad. Being sad and...

"Senioritis"-Not even a real word. Used to describe a fake illness seniors get when they get really lazy and don't want to do any work or even come to school.

Being born on December 30th was probably the worst decision of my life. Having a birthday in December is always upstaged by Christmas and New Years, especially when your birthday is sandwiched between the both of them.

Filed under Opinion
When the term "mentally ill" is used, people often picture a lunatic in a straitjacket sitting in the corner of a hospital room with padded walls. No one really pictures the nice girl from their science class that they borrowed notes from the one day. It's hard to tell sometimes what exactly a person...

Christmas is a time of year where everyone is happy or very stressed. Almost every interaction you have this time of year with a stranger will end with "Have a great holiday!"
