  • Settle down, kids, or I’ll make you watch ‘Poltergeist’

    I’ve come to terms with the fact that I can’t handle scary movies. It’s sad I know. I thought I could handle them until I watched “The Grudge” at a movie night a few weeks back, and ended up waking up my mommy at 3 a.m. because I was convinced there was a face-eating devil child in my closet.

  • Student praises journalism teacher for ability to connect

    When I applied to be a part of our school newspaper, The Blazer, I expected to work. I expected long hours and frustrations. I expected awkward interviews and fast-approaching deadlines. What I didn’t expect was how much I would grow to love the people I spent sixth period with everyday.

  • I have met the enemy – and it is a fleet of minivans

    I’m about to admit something that will shock and amaze all teenagers, twenty-somethings, middle-aged mamas, granddads and paranoid police officers alike: I do not like to drive. In fact, I hate it. Weird, right? Freedom, speed, looking awesome (in my little yellow slug bug), what’s not to like? I’ll tell you ye of the iron foot – minivans.
