A commentary: wisdom teeth
Sami Lynn, Print Editor
September 25, 2014
BEFORE: Aug. 21, 3:27 a.m. I am currently sitting in the dark, with this Word document and the glow of the computer screen on my face. Tomorrow… excuse me, today I will be a different person. A part of me will be lost: my beloved wisdom teeth. I am a ball of fury. Most people are put to sleep...
Anxiety hinders performances

For some people, it comes easy. For others it is a horrible experience. Sweaty palms. Hands shaking faster than a new massage chair. There is that urge to run to the bathroom, despite the fact that you were there only 10 minutes ago. Those butterflies in your belly caused you to skip breakfast and...

Justin Bieber: you either love him or you hate him. I hate him. Maybe it is too strong of a word but I really do not care for him. It is not his music. I actually used to commend him for his success. He got famous because of YouTube and made it really big; that is quite impressive. What I...

Balancing a job and school sounds like a simple task. In my case, I have it easy: traveling five minutes from home every Tuesday and Thursday to a quaint Farmers Insurance office. Having a job is rewarding. You hold responsibilities and get a taste of what a career will feel like, not to mention...

Pretend you do not see the couple wrapped in each other’s arms as if they are not going to see one another for the next five years. Do not make eye contact. Keep your head down. Let the shame of being single sink in. This has been another awkward encounter with public display of affection. We...

I have always dreamed of being able to live in a big city, live in a high-rise apartment and write stories while clutching a cup of coffee and looking out at city lights. I want to live the “posh” life of traveling every few months to explore new places and be inclined to learn more about different...

The time has come, I admit it, school hallways terrify me. But now as months and months of waiting has taken place, those couples you see will disappear before your eyes in a magic trick I like to call breakup season. Oh how lovey-dovey a school hallway can be. Year after year I have waited in agony...
