When Jokes Become Crowns

Kamryn Hannigan, Staff Writer
November 13, 2019

The girl’s dramatic cheeky grin remains painted on her annoyingly sparkly face. The crown on her head gives me a headache and I wish she would stop laughing.

October 9, 2019

As a 17-year-old Christian girl who grew up surrounded by pop culture, naturally I have always had a certain affinity for Taylor Swift. Even as a slightly more mature young adult, I follow her new music and keep up with Swiftie news. Now imagine how my little-girl heart hurt when I saw the music video...

Whirl-Winds

April 25, 2019

My chest heaves and my eyes burn from holding back panic-stricken tears. The walls of my bedroom close in until I’m breathing back in my own choked sobs. My mind races, as it struggles to focus on too many things at once. I do not have time for this. I must swallow a bite far too big for me to chew,...

The earliest memory I have of the woman who gave birth to me is not even of the woman herself. I remember the stench of smoke better than I do her homemade cookies, and I remember the silent tears that made cold trails down my cheeks and off my nose, better than I do her embrace. I remember the bright...
