Hollywood illustrates the classic high school experience

Keely Valdez, Assistant Editor • October 9, 2015

There’s always that one bad high school drama that reverberates in everyone’s minds that depicts the stereotypical cliques whenever they see, hear, or think of high school. This is far from the truth. In this day and age, students are becoming less shy and more sociable to anyone. They are becoming less afraid of interaction whether it be in person or online.

Xylina Session, Editor-in-chief • October 8, 2015

The American dream is painted inside a neighborhood, a gated one that keeps little affluent children and apron-wearing wives safe from a minority whose jobs don’t quite reach a suit-and-tie status quo. The Utahn dream consists of a substantial enough income for a house that can fit all the grandkids; a tire swing in the back of the tomato garden, a four-car garage, or a dancing fountain roundabout.

Snarknado: Responsibility, an issue with the student body

Keely Valdez, Assistant Editor • October 8, 2015

In the hallways, there’s always the chatter of the last weekend or this coming weekend, what plans are being made, the usual talk of a newly-released video game, and the latest gossip. More frequent, however, is the talk of what the tyranical mother forced them to do is included in casual conversations.

Megan Breneman, Assistant Editor • October 8, 2015

Kylee Warren, Reporter • October 8, 2015

"I'm so depressed that I failed that test in history today." "My backpack is completely organized, I'm so OCD!" "I'm being so bipolar today." These are all examples of real mental illnesses that get tossed...
