A Call to Votes
Liza Bock, News Editor
January 13, 2012
I asked the simple question: How much power do first-time voters have? I had no idea how inspiring the answer would be. John Nichols, Jodie Evans, and Van Jones all turned their full attention toward me. They explained that our generation is the children of the “Baby-Boomers.” The “Baby Boomers”... Read more »
College Rejections Are Not the Apocalypse
Cara "CJ" Jack, Editor-in-Chief
December 19, 2011
At some time in our lives it happens: the inevitable rejection. It will happen in high school, in college and on the job. It will appear as a bad date, an ignored wave, a job loss, or a growl from a supposedly friendly dog. We can’t escape it. So, we must trudge on when it does happen. But for some... Read more »
An Experience Waiting to Happen
December 12, 2011
In early November, I went on The Annual Fall Black College Tour with a group of thirty other high school students. We toured the most popular colleges in the South, such as Spelman College, Morehouse College, Clark Atlanta University, Alabama State University, and Tuskegee University. When asked about...

Now, Later…Or Never?
Caitlin Bohaboy, Social Media Manager
December 7, 2011
We’ve all been in this situation: drowsily squinting at a blank Microsoft Word document at eleven o’clock at night, trying to stay awake in order to finish writing an important essay. And throughout it all, we’re downing multiple cups of coffee, and in our heads regretting wasted time, and thinking... Read more »
The New Holiday Spirit
Cara "CJ" Jack, Editor-in-Chief
November 23, 2011
Stores have begun to display the inevitable inflatable snowmen and Santa Clauses. Neighbors have begun to string bright-colored lights on every reachable part of their house, and then some. The looming holiday purchases have begun to penetrate everyday thought. Yes, that time of year that little children... Read more »
November to Remember: Let’s Live in the Moment
Caitlin Bohaboy, Social Media Manager
November 21, 2011
The month of November; the season of turkey, of jumping into piles of caramel-colored leaves and curling up with a blanket and some hot cocoa to watch the rain pour. It’s a season of giving, or so some may say, as opposed to December, the season of credit card debt. I personally like to take the time... Read more »
Age Shouldn’t Matter When Candy is Involved
Cara "CJ" Jack, Editor-in-Chief
November 4, 2011
Everyone enjoys getting something for free. Almost everyone, myself included, likes to go to Costco to eat the free food. Birthdays are amazing because 1) it’s a full day celebrating you and 2) you get stuff that you didn’t pay for! I also know people eye the free stuff out on curbs. I’m not judging... Read more »
The Long Goodbye: The Last Year at Home
Cara "CJ" Jack, Editor-in-Chief
October 24, 2011
“Wakey, wakey, sleepyhead. It’s time to get ready for school. You don’t want to be late.” My mom used to coo this to me every morning and I, begrudgingly, would drag my younger self out of bed and zombie walk into the kitchen. My nose propelling me forward to the smell of buttered toast and... Read more »
Twilight: Should You Follow Their Example?
Mackenzie Bray, Webmaster
October 5, 2011
Stephenie Meyer scares me. Yes, you can laugh, but it’s the truth! Her empty smile, her soulless eyes, her endless moneybags, and her screaming fangirls all make me wish she didn’t exist and I could keep my head buried in the sand. After all, if she had never existed, she wouldn’t have made the... Read more »
School Spirit: What Are We Celebrating?
Sam Crocker, Managing Editor
January 18, 2011
Music blares from the loudspeakers as deafening cheers fill the air. Chants of “HOO! HAH! YOU WISH YOU WERE A SENIOR!” echo in every corner of the school. What’s all the fuss? It’s homecoming week at Woodside High School, the one week of the school year when students can paint their faces bright... Read more »
