Sometimes, my English teacher breaks into an Irish accent at random. Other times, a friend quotes a movie in perfect context. And all the time, the marching band belts out the song ‘Stacy’s Mom’ on bus rides. If laughter is truly the greatest medicine, then Cherry Hill should transform East into... Read more »

High school, to me, is like a game of Blackjack. The only way to win is if you play your cards right. For instance: Situation A- Minus 3: Vocab test tomorrow in Carmody’s English 3H class.

Looking back on my high school experience, I’ve found that it was the little things that pulled me through.

High school is the only ride I would refuse a fast pass for. Just like a roller coaster you begin in line, and stand with sky rocketing anxiety as your friends try to convince you that the 80 foot drop won’t be that bad, and that the three, gut wrenching corkscrews will only make you nauseous for a...

We want what we can’t have. Kids want to be animals, adults want to be young and humans want superpowers. We have been taught that people can’t have their cake and eat it too. I beg to differ.
