I’m home, and being home feels strange. It feels strange because it feels like nothing has changed. I feel like I have just finished an incredibly moving book, but no one else understands the emotions I feel or the experience I’ve had. I have had trouble expressing how my experience was because people always ask,…
Music Review by Cole Pokropowicz: “The Bones of What You Believe” by Chvrches
The actual music is unable to stand out as well. While it does make you want to dance, that effect is short lived. It comes in with such a rush, harmonizing with Lauren’s vocals, but then it just stays there. Nothing fuels it on its own. When the vocals are absent, the electronic beats are…

Locker Dunking
The action of jumping next to a person near a locker and then hitting the locker with your hand is called “Locker Dunking”. It is a very loud and rowdy action that may be annoying to others in the hall. When asked why people do locker dunking “Male Domination”, said Tony McGaha, a senior. This…
