High school has taught much about life, including who I am. Five main aspects have helped to shape me into the person I have become: friends, teachers, trust, those I struggled to get along with and family. I honestly do not think I could have survived high school without my friends. They have taught...

The statement “high school flies by fast” has proven to be true. 24 days remain until graduation and the class of 2010 must prepare to say their goodbyes. As a freshman and even as a sophomore, I thought graduation would never come. I thought it was a distant event and I had a long time before I...

As a skinny white guy growing up in Wadsworth, I have very rarely been a minority in society. However, I spent the long Valentine’s Day weekend with 13 other students and a couple of teachers doing just that in a poor town in northern Mexico. In February of 2009, I visited the small suburb of La Luz,...

OMG! OK, I have the greatest story to tell you! .” One hundred texts later, you say “Bye,” and you are left with an empty, unsatisfied feeling with the “conversation,” you just had. The fact is that texting seems to be overtaking what used to be cordial conversation. Texting and social networking...

What do you want to do before you die? It’s a simple question and MTV’s The Buried Life is answering it. When commercials for the new reality show were leaked on TV, I’m not going to lie, I wasn’t too interested. After seeing other reality shows like Jersey Shore or The Real World, D.C. I...
