With the end of a presidential term in the near future it is yet again time to elect another. Everyone will pretend to know the issues and we will vow that “This time it will be different,” and everything wrong in our country will be fixed as long as our candidate gets elected. The problem is we don’t know everything that’s the wrong and many of us don’t know much beyond our personal beliefs to…

Buffalo High School gets out earlier than any neighboring high school — at least thirty minutes earlier than Monticello, Delano, St. Michael-Alberville, or Rockford. However, it’s also the earliest starting school in the area. Out of 50 students surveyed, 33 said they would like school to start later. The most common reason for this was that waking up early is difficult. The other 17 students said that they would like to have school start at…

The voices of 1800 students in the halls all blend together. Hidden within the student body are voices that stand out. If you listen closely you will hear some of the most interesting, high, low, and beautiful voices.

The “Brown Bagging It” page on Facebook is something that is designed to get school lunches back to normal. Almost as if it was a protest, the page wants people to actually start bringing their own lunch to school to bring normal lunches back. At the beginning of the school year, kids were bringing home lunches all the time, and now that has died down. Homemade lunches are rarely seen anymore. However, students still complain…

It’s that time again and as we all pile into classrooms and learn lessons deemed important by teachers, but don’t seem important there are other lessons going on in the background that are just as important.

Story by Jake Davidson Status updates, tweets, profile pictures and hash-tags are a part of “Generation Z’s” day to day life. But is this hurting our generation more than it is helping us stay connected? It certainly seems that way with more students spending more and more time on these social networking sites. 10. Increased Drama. Ughhhhhhhh When you are reading something online it is different than hearing it in person. The interpretation is up to you.…

At the Co Exhibitions Art Gallery in Minneapolis, they are showing pieces of professional graffiti art. The exhibit is titled Second Hand Emotions, and is touring around the world.
