Learning to live without her
•
My whole family loves Young Frankenstein, not because of Gene Wilder, but because of my mom’s impression of the monster horrendously singing “Puttin on the Ritz.” Every time the song came up, she would make herself and the rest of us laugh with her strained, goofy, out-of-tune singing. That impression is one of the…

Grieving through senior year
•
On November 27, my dad passed away tragically in my living room. My mother and I gave him CPR for what felt like hours while my brother called 911, and we listened to the first responders work on keeping him alive for forty minutes before they pronounced him dead. He had been in and…

In a colorless world devoid of meaning, the only thing that brings me bliss is the immediate jolt of liveliness given to me by coffee. If I didn’t have coffee in my life, I probably would’ve flunked way more classes than I already have. Some people say that you shouldn’t have coffee past noon,…

Elon Musk should not be individually responsible for Twitter
•
Social media has always been controversial. Whether the conversation is on the mental health of teens, politicians doing God-knows-what with Cambridge Analytica, or celebrities face-tuning their photos, there tends to be a lot of contrasting opinions on every social media platform.

The Confederate movement lies to you
•
Something that I consistently find shocking about American culture is its strange obsession with the Civil War. Across the 50 states, one might find odd reenactments and museums relating to the war, and more specifically, the Confederacy. While Confederate iconography was always a strange piece of Americana, it was mostly contained in the southern…

Whether it is between two celebrities, a celebrity and a 9-5 worker, they tend to get a decent amount of coverage. And the stereotype of people suing the rich for no reason other than money…

History has its eyes on your dress
•
Ever since I was little, I was told that I focused too much on my appearance, regarding what clothes I wore, how I did my hair, even how much makeup that I put on. How can girls possibly find the inspiration to not care about how others view them in an ever-changing and ‘love…

Cursive remains significant to students
•
In today’s technology-dependent world, people are too busy typing and tapping away instead of writing on old-fashioned pen and paper. At this rate, it seems as though humans will barely have to write with pen and paper ever again. While electronic devices have added an element of convenience to the writing process, putting pen…

Conejo Guardian shouldn’t call itself news
•
The Society for Professional Journalists (SPJ) Code of Ethics has four standards that journalists are supposed to abide by for their work to be professionally credible; however, The Conejo Guardian, a local publication, continues to break these rules and calling it “independent community news” is an insult to real journalists worldwide. SPJ’s four Code…

From the outside, Mai Thai Kitchen, located on Michael Road doesn’t look like much but customers will quickly learn not to judge a book by its cover. I decided to order dinner to pick up and quickly forgot about the underwhelming exterior as the customer service was quick and the employees were friendly. My…
