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…

1. Cars are expensive I know what you’re all thinking; “Wow, really, tell me something I didn’t know.” I know that you know cars are expensive, but until you have your own, you have no idea. Sure, we all know how much gas costs, but c’mon, it’s not that bad right? Check back with me when you’ve filled up your car for the first time and tell me you didn’t feel like going out and…

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. This summer I learned some of those lessons, lessons that, as great as our school is, were something I had to experience firsthand. Here they are as best as I can explain them for your future reference. 1. The…

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.

By Christoper Veeder During the November elections there will be a vote on an amendment concerning same-sex marriage. By voting no future generations could change the laws about same-sex marriage. By voting yes it puts the amendment on the state constitution and makes it very difficult to change. With younger people becoming more and more accepting of each other, this amendment will hurt how young people will be living in the future. 70% of people…

Excited students piled into the River’s Edge Convention Center in St. Cloud, passed through check in, and finally made it onto the dance floor. After months of waiting, Prom was finally here, and they could finally dance with the quintessential blaring music and catchy pop songs. Except there was no blaring music and not many catchy pop songs. In fact, many students complained that they couldn’t hear the music at all, those in the back…

The majority of students will, at some point, take a foreign language class at the high school. Most however, will not take up to the College in the Schools (CIS) level. I am currently taking CIS Spanish 4, and after the equivalent of almost 4 years of a language, I have learned more than I ever expected. A lot of what I learned though, was not necessarily words or phrases in the language, it was…

Everyone’s mom is different though, so here are some of the things that make those moms (and grandmas) great. 1. “My mom is always willing to drive me to different rodeos and willing to support me in whatever I’m doing. Whenever I have…

As a teenager in this generation, I have a Facebook account, I have a Flickr account for my photography, and I have a pinterest account to plan my fake wedding to Joe Mauer. By this point, I have established an online identity, whether I like it or…
