Senioritis is real. The rumors are true. I can’t exactly tell you when it began, but it has definitely hit like a brick. Even starting this year was different: right off the block entering the campus, I wanted to leave. I was not excited at all, similar to previous years, and moped about the…

So, before we even start, let me put a disclaimer out there: I do not hate Valentine’s Day just because I am sad and alone. Actually, my state of unattractive solitude has nothing to do with my dislike for Feb. 14. What does, however, continue to attribute to my utter distaste, is all this…

It’s the hallmark of the West Coast. The iconic yellow arrow wrapping around red letters, lines of people snaking around the white plastic tables, greasy and salty goodness scenting the air and a menu that hasn’t changed in 15 years– until now.

Like any other sane human in the world, I consider anything involving school funding to be mind-numbingly dull. However, sometimes it is necessary to be informed about what is actually going on– especially when it affects students and teachers. In California, public schools are funded based off of their Average Daily Attendance (ADA), which…

*Gasp* Wow did you know that *insert celebrity name here* buys groceries? No way, it’s almost as if they were normal human beings like you and me! Clearly the media has not caught the drift, because all over the Internet and television, celebrities’ daily lives are flaunted and gawked at. I cannot go on…

Solar is often seen as uneconomic and unviable to the consumer. It is expensive to install the panels, especially over a larger surface area. To a school district with thousands of square feet of flat roof space, installation of solar seems like the ideal dream that is as impractical as it is wonderful. However,…
