I hate hanging up the phone. I’ve never watched a season finale of a TV show without shedding a tear. When I finish a book, I am overcome by a sense of loss, as if by finishing it I have betrayed the characters and ended their story with the turn of the final page.…
October is a time of celebration, not only due to the beautiful holiday of Halloween but for being able to survive a month of school. So in order to commemorate this joyous month, I recommend finding some new songs to listen to, these below in particular. “Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride” by Mark Keali’i Ho’omalu…
Recently I was in the shower, snapchatting my homies, and reflecting upon how far I’ve come. Just to clarify, no, I was not sending my pals nudes. I was just sending them super unflattering pictures of my hair mid-shampoo, all above the shoulders, I promise. And parents, before you stop reading in disgust at…
As another school year has arrived, so has the eminent need for new music to drown your sorrows in. Here are some of my recommendations for this year. (It’s also very good music to listen to while you are sick.) “White Room” by Cream- “White Room” is a solid rock song that will get…

There are few things more terrifying for the modern teenager than the text message warning that “you have used 75% of your monthly data” or “you are being charged for an extra gigabyte.” However, this is a regular occurrence for those of us without the blessing of unlimited data, and it is sure to…

It’s that time of the year again, when everything is terrifying and teenagers are up late at night, sometimes even until the early morning hours. That’s right, it’s midterms!
