Let me first say that I’m a fan of Supergirl. The show, which tells the story of 24-year-old Kara Zor-El, Superman’s cousin, made history when it premiered in October 2015 as DC’s only female-led superhero TV show. It offers a refreshing portrait of female strength and vulnerability.
To couch or not to couch, that is the question...
Over spring break, my cousin got married. It was terrifying, really, because I’m at the point in my life where people come up to me at the wedding and go, “You’re next,” in their singsong old-people voices and smirk at me while I shove food into my face so I don’t have to respond.
As a student journalist I understand the importance of checking the facts: There are serious consequences if a publication gets something wrong, and printing incorrect facts has the potential to damage both reputations and whole lives. Fact-checking is one of the most essential principles of journalism.
At its core this poem, like all poems, is about emotions. In this particular case the speaker struggles with her mother-in-law’s worsening dementia. However most of the poem doesn’t mention dementia specifically but instead highlights parts of everyday life that seep through the speaker’s resolve and cause her to question the purpose of living. In fact the only time the speaker explicitly refers to the dementia is through the line “she can’t remember who’s alive and dead.”
Over spring break my parents and I embarked on the ambitious project of watching as much of Marvel’s eight-movie X-Men franchise as possible in order to jump on the bandwagon and go see Logan, the ninth, critically acclaimed installment, in theaters. I was home in suburban Philadelphia, not Cancun. There wasn’t much else to do.
The health care bill debacle reinforced, in no uncertain terms, the Republican attitude toward the Affordable Care Act (ACA) during Obama’s presidential terms. Namely, they opposed it for the primary reason that it came from the opposition party and specifically from the Obama administration. (Yes, they even originally scheduled the repeal/replace vote date to be on the anniversary of the ACA.)
Right now we’re in the thick of the semester with midterms and papers that need to be wrapped up by the end of the month while still consistently attending classes and extracurriculars and handling various other mid-semester responsibilities.
Shout out to my friends who read Today’s Announcements:
Since I started high school, I’ve occasionally skimmed through texts the night before an exam, but it’s not like I’m actually taking in the meaning of most of the words. I got through high school with the help of SparkNotes (although I’ll never forgive them for the two-sentence summary they wrote for Brokeback Mountain — only got one question right on that pop quiz). I would even go as far as to dedicate my high school diploma to SparkNotes.
There are two species of Turkeys, Meleagris gallopavo and meleagris ocellata. Gallopavo turkeys are native throughout North America and are confusingly referred to as both the domestic turkey and the wild turkey. The other species of turkey is native to the Yucatán Peninsula.
Morgan: summer’s right around the corner; You know what that means?
To celebrate past April Fools days, news publications have published fake stories and duped its audiences. (Breitbart, on the other hand, enjoys celebrating April Fool’s Day year-round).
I got very sick a few weeks ago. Understandably, my friends would sit one seat away from me in class because I was phlegmy and gross, and none of them could afford to catch whatever my bug from hell was. But for some reason, I found myself growing increasingly upset every time this happened.

Screenwriter John Gregory Dunne is planning a film called The Post, to star Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks, that will depict how the Pentagon Papers saga developed in The Washington Post newsroom. Hanks will star as Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, and Streep will play The Post’s publisher Katharine Graham.
Communities have been split apart and rivalries are formed purely on the basis of that one question. One family had even given up completely, creating an oversized game show-style spinner, leaving the whole decision up to chance. They admitted in defeat that this was for the gods to decide.
In spite of the recent turn in the weather, spring break is nearly upon us, which should hopefully put most of us in a celebratory mood. If you still need to wallow in some remaining winter blues, however, I’ve created a playlist that’s a bit mellower than the last one.
Diplomacy and tact are not words which come to mind when describing Trump and his administration’s handling of international affairs. He’s painted the world in black and white, according to how he sees fit, and seems intent on retaining a brazen attitude even toward America’s allies.
We all suffer from severe fear of missing out, or FOMO, and it’s only getting worse.
