What losing can do for you The best thing to ever happen to me was the first time I asked a girl to dance. I was in the sixth grade. My skater phase. Yeah, I had the skinny jeans and Vans, and I only wore Billabong, Quiksilver and Hurley shirts. My mom kept trying to […]

A detailed look at coming changes to our campus that will definitely not have any consequences. It’s been evident lately that there are more bodies on campus this fall than in years past.
