Senioritis. A common disease that seniors in high school get diagnosed with that seems to last the whole year. Personally, I believe that senioritis can get frustrating due to its ability to create irresponsibility and immaturity. Being a senior myself, I can’t blame those around me that get caught...

Over my break, I experienced something that not many people can say they’ve ever done – I went to Jamaica, Haiti and Grand Cayman with my family all in one week. If you’re thinking it probably wasn’t as great as it sounds, it definitely was. We cruised with Royal Caribbean and left from Ft. Lauderdale,... Read more »

As a native I happen to know some facts about Texas – it’s illegal to pick bluebonnets, we have both arid and humid climates, and we’re the second largest state area-wise.

Knitting. As teenagers, knitting is not considered, by any means, cool. But knitting is a hobby that can be enjoyed by anybody. It’s relaxing, and the finished product is something to be proud of.

11:57 p.m. Outside the mall entrance, I start to stand in the line that they have been waiting in for the past 11 hours.
