What if I told you there was a man that abducted kids for a living? How would you react if I told you he steals children as young as 13, and forced them into a military camp where they are harmed and beaten, sometimes to death, to train them as child soldiers? Would you be shocked to hear that the boys... Read more »
Secular without judgement

I used to dread the moment when people would discover I had no religion – that I belong to no church and am neither Catholic nor Baptist. But I shouldn’t have to. Religion was never forced upon me when I was younger, nor was it prohibited. If I had told my parents one day that I wanted to be Catholic... Read more »
Nook or book?

The smell of coffee drifted towards me as I swung open the Barnes and Noble doors. I swiftly walked past the shelves containing hundreds of novels. On a normal occasion, every book that caught my eye would have distracted me. But this time was different. I was on a mission. I made my way past each shelf... Read more »

This one’s for you Kansas

I could say that I was helplessly in love, that I had never experienced a feeling quite like it. I could say that I had never met anyone that would even compare. I could say that I’ll never get over him—that my heart can’t go on. Of course, if I did say these things I’d be lying. But as I listen... Read more »
Google can’t define me

In the beginning, it was funny. The word “hipster” or the phrase “you’re a hipster” was thrown around. “Emily you’re such a hipster!” I laughed along, but honestly I didn’t even understand what the word “hipster” meant. So I did what any child of... Read more »
Perfection can be blinding
January 23, 2012 • Marisa Charpentier, Assistant Feature Editor
Filed under Opinion
I’ve lived a bland, sheltered life, and I’ve come out “perfect.” My family is “perfect.” My neighborhood is “perfect.” My world is “perfect.” But I guess this perfection is where the problem lies. There’s nothing rewarding about being privileged... Read more »
Column: Rules of the road

Filed under Opinion
You could say I have a bit of road rage. I’m a little neurotic. Possibly hypocritical. But it’s not completely my fault. I am the product of two over-angry sisters and a father who is “that guy” on the road. A daily dose of yelling on a short excursion or five hour road trip was... Read more »
Column: A heartfelt apology

Anxiously awaiting the arrival of my sister, I didn’t know what to expect. After not seeing her for two years, I could be certain of one thing, she was going to be different. Just how different, I wasn’t exactly sure. Growing up, I wanted to be just like Lindsey. She had it all, she... Read more »
Column: Letter to my homeboy, Weezy
January 4, 2012 • Jasmine Sachar, Editor-In-Chief
Filed under Opinion
Dearest Lil’ Wayne, Let me start this letter by saying that I, Jasmine Sachar, am your biggest fan. I have every eloquent lyric of yours memorized. I have perfected your devilish, hostile stare and even am considering getting a gold grill and dreds. I saw you all over the national news... Read more »
