I have always loved the song “Don’t You Forget About Me” by Simple Minds, but this year it has more appeal — the fact that it ends one of the most iconic teenage movies of the 80s (and perhaps of all time) doesn’t hurt. I feel like all people just want to be remembered. How else does one explain...

This list serves to educate people on Christmas gifts which should be avoided at all costs. Books: I was once given book six of the Harry Potter series for Christmas, a wonderful book I'm sure. The only problem- I hadn't read any of the five books leading up to the sixth, a perfect example of clueless...

Legacy custodian Nona Airheart walks the empty halls: No light streams through the windows. No sound other than the echo of her own footsteps. No people except for the rest of the night crew. Continuing her work she thinks back to when she became a mother. In her senior year of high school, twenty-one...

From stage left sophomore Kyle Dragulski entered wearing a black dress that hung to his upper mid-thigh and a long red wig. Dragulski was a participant in the Miss LHS pageant which was held Fri. March 23 at 7 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center. The competition was a beauty pageant, with a twist....

So, you need to change your tire... Google provides this website as the first thing to pop up when searching for ‘how to change a tire.’ The first paragraph of the website features an unlikely situation and phrases such as “I have this nice cellular phone,” and “…rats…,” (not the animal)...

So many hipsters in one line. I honestly did not know there could ever be that many hipsters, waiting in line to get into the Palladium Ballroom, waiting for Two Door Cinema Club to come on stage and start the show, waiting to forget their lives— if only for a few hours. It felt like a Dr. Seuss...

I hope you are happy with what you have done. Since you have been using my phone- and I know you have been because Sprint tells me you have been calling people- by now you probably have noticed that the A button doesn’t work on the keyboard. This is because I dropped it into a toilet at a sketchy place–...

Most high school girls have dressed for Halloween as a sparkling fairy, a witch frightening enough to scare Hansel and Gretel, a perfect princess, been a witch again (of a non scary variety), and a vampire. These costumes have gradually become shorter, to the point where bending over would prove disastrous....

It’s difficult to explain to someone who isn't in the play. Someone who didn't stay after school until 5 or 6 p.m. four days a week. Someone who didn't have the honor of being involved with all of those wacky and wonderful people who make up the cast and crew of “Rough Magic.” Someone who didn't...

For the sixth straight year, art students participating in Visual Art Scholastic Event (VASE), a competition comparing students' artwork from all over the state, earned more medals and had more students advance to State than all other Mansfield ISD high schools. "I like VASE because it provides the...

Texas summers make pools feel like boiling water, rubber tennis shoe soles melt to the pavement and shoulders turn bright red. And they make my car turn into a very large Hansel and Gretel style oven, heated by the essence of 16 suns and a habanero pepper(s). With that kind of heat in the forecast, my...

“913 at desk five” berates an automated voice from the loud speakers on the ceiling of the building, signaling the next person to receive help. The office opens at 8:00, by 8:20 a.m. a snake-like line had formed. Weaving its way from the front desk, coiled around the royal blue plastic chairs,...

Senior Matt Conn walks through the crowded hallway wearing his usual pair of faded blue jeans, a white under shirt with a blue flannel button up shirt and a black baseball cap crowning his head. Nothing makes him stand out amongst the other students rushing to class, except for the baseball cap. When...
