Does all of this seem too mushy, or is it special and memorable? Single students perspectives: “I think it’s a dumb holiday because obviously…

Are you or someone you know a sports bandwagoner? A sports bandwagon fan is someone who only supports a team in periods of success.

“We shouldn’t have to pay $100 a year to park in the school parking lot,” said Senior Shianne Kempel. “The potholes aren’t fixed and they don’t plow it when it snows. Think about how much money the school makes in just parking lot fees per student. They can definitely afford to fix the potholes, repaint the lines, and plow the snow with that kind of money.” The student parking lot is leaving many students and…

Since then, there hasn’t been too much snow. Lately it’s been warming up. It feels like spring. So this brings the question, is winter over already?
