It is Jan. 5 and by now your New Year's Resolutions are most certainly dead. You may have made them hastily as the ball fell, and you watched Mariah Carey do whatever that was.

It consumes your mind. You lay in bed when you’re supposed to be asleep and don't even bother watching Netflix. You toss. You turn. And you can’t stop thinking about the same resonating thought. No, sugar plums aren’t dancing in your head. And the all-consuming thoughts aren’t based on St. ...
Please, please don’t ask me about college

I know that much of senior year is about applying to and deciding where to go for college. As every waking moment — and many of my dreams/nightmares — are centered around college, it doesn’t help to be constantly asked by peers, family members and even random people I’ve just met about where I’...

Let's talk human rights. First, some background. The results are in: “President Trump” is now a legitimate phrase. Alright. Fine. Trump is president. If you support Trump, good for you. Who knows, America may be “made great” once again under his administration. As for America as a ...

Monday through Friday at 1:58pm, Londonderry High School’s main lot is a hot mess. Students can be seen sprinting from the school’s side doors to their cars with no regard or caution to traffic entering or exiting the parking lot. They don’t care if they get struck by a car (that would just me...
