A woman visited a hospital after receiving many painful headaches. She was told that she was just being dramatic after asking for a brain scan, that she just needed rest. She was brushed off numerous times until she finally got it in 2015. By then it was too late; she had a brain tumor so large that it could not be surgically removed.

The way that life unravels sometimes feels like a paradox: things that are forced and intended are rarely accomplished in their true nature, and things that occur naturally and unintentionally are splendidly fulfilled as if by luck. For example, when we try to force an intelligent or funny demeanor, it just defaces us, and when we try to get excellent marks we might again be left unsatisfied. How can we control our life if its trajectory doesn’t follow our expectations?

Representation has long been difficult for Hollywood, and in recent decades the solution has been simply to present more non-white actors on screen. Racebending is one of the trends currently expressed by Hollywood, and refers to films where the race of a character is changed. These trends are an indication of Hollywood’s insensitivity to race, but may also signal a better future for non-white actors.

The education system is arguably one of the most important foundations of a country. As students, we’re all familiar with it as well. We’re told that education is there to teach, nurture, and even educate. To achieve this, the system uses assessments, which can most notably be categorized into two groups: projects and tests.

TAROT READINGS & FORTUNE TELLINGS —

The sign stood, propped up on a potted plant, outside a tiny, four-post tent. As Molly read the hand-lettered, swirly font, she privately thought the material of the tent’s drapes looked just like her grandma’s carpet. Despite her skepticism, she counted her palmful of change: two dollars exactly. Between the overpriced ice cream and the bustling arcade, there wasn’t exactly anywhere else along the boardwalk to spend the money. I suppose there’s no reason not to. She surveyed the dense bead curtain, shrouding the figure inside from a proper view, and stepped through it.

Sometimes, school can be a lot, especially with all the assignments students have to complete, and all the tests we have to study for. As a result of this, many students have trouble balancing their personal well-being and school work. Especially at St. Robert CHS, many students decide to focus on their academics, often neglecting their own needs. Students are often very stressed and tired, with very little time for breaks.
