One Last Time

My dear readers, Two weeks ago I told myself I was so sick of school and I was angry that the school year took so long and I couldn’t wait for it to be over. I told myself I was sick of all the graduation melodrama and that I didn’t care much about leaving high school. I told myself I was ready...
Two Weeks Left

May 17, 2017
Dear educational bureaucrats, I’m so glad that school is finally over… except it’s not. We’re still here. For two more weeks. WHY!?!?! The last AP tests were last week. Most of my classes have already done a final, and for those that haven’t we are ready to take the final now if they’d...
Fire

Dear lovers, I’ve always loved fire. Not in a “burn the world” pyromaniac type of way, but I’ve always thought fire was immensely fascinating and entirely beautiful. The light, the warmth, the heat, and even the burn, I love it all. I think part of what makes fire so attractive to me...
Coffee

April 21, 2017
Dear millennials, I’ve never really liked coffee. I know like 80% of Americans are literal zombies without their morning cup of Joe, but I never got into it. I remember sipping coffee with my dad back when he still read the newspaper every morning and I was small enough to sit on his lap, but...

Dear readers, So last Friday I tried writing something about how great International Rally was, and then on Sunday I thought about writing something about the horrible car accident that happened in Stockton where McNair student Jonathan Sanchez was killed and Dean Dorman was seriously injured, but...

Dear God, What the hell did I do?!?! What have I done to deserve all this crap that's coming my way? Aren't you supposed to have my back, be on my side, protect me? Don't you care!?!? And yeah, I'm seriously doubting you right now. Well guess what, I'm allowed to do that. How do I know? It's...
Sheep

April 5, 2017
Dear sheep, It is said that there are three types of people in the world: sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs. For those who failed high school english and don’t understand metaphors: sheep are the docile majority, wolves are people who prey on the innocent, and sheepdogs are those who defend the...
Diplomacy

February 23, 2017
Dear political people, I was walking to my car when I noticed my boi Khaled waiting by the parking lot, so I offered him a ride home. So I drove him to get Wendy’s (on the condition that he bought me a drink) and then to his house, all the while discussing politics. It was weird because Khaled...
I’m Fine
David Hancock, Staff Writer
February 21, 2017
Dear concerned people, I’m fine. Really, I am. Thanks for asking, but it’s ok, I’m fine. I realize that I’m not acting like I’m fine. It’s easier to see when I’m having an off day because I’m usually really loud and smiling all the time, so when I calm down and act like an average...
(This is deep)

February 13, 2017
Dear mortals, To blog, or not to blog. That is the questions. Whether ‘tis nobler to blog something meaningful and relevant or to suffer the slings and arrows of unfinished thought. To die, to sleep. Thus is my Shakespearian rant. To rant, perchance, to dream. Aye, therin lies the rub....
Opinions

January 31, 2017
Dear opinionated people, Before I begin this rant, let me be clear: everyone has a right to their own opinion. Additionally, in the United States all citizens are guaranteed the right to have those opinions heard. That is clear, and I’m not annoyed because of that. I’m annoyed because the majority...
Philosophy

January 25, 2017
Dear confused teenagers, I don’t know I’ve mentioned this before, but in college I’m planning on majoring in Philosophy. Well, the college I’m planning to go to combines Politics, Philosophy, and Economics into one super awesome major, but I’m mostly doing it for the philosophy. I know...
