    The conclusion of the matter

    Skip Stevens, The Reporter

    May 22, 2017

      I will start by stating that it is in my very nature to rejoice and be glad. I need not elaborate the cause for these sentiments other than to simply say that life is, in itself, very good.   However, it is apparent to me, and those closest to me, that my continued bliss has been pitif...

    Don’t Worry About It

    Hayley Martens, Campus Life Editor

    May 19, 2017

    I remember thinking freshman year before school started that I didn’t care how badly I did in my classes, I just didn’t want to get lost. The high school seemed like this big scary place. Regardless of my fevered prayers I did get lost, but I overcame my fear. I’ve learned a lot in my four...

    Will Bill Nye save the World?

    Queen Victoria, Reporter

    May 19, 2017

    I must admit, I had extremely high expectations when I first heard about the Bill Nye the Science Guy reboot. Some of my most treasured childhood memories are tied to Bill Nye the Science Guy, and I was terrified that this reboot would be a huge let down like Fuller House was. To my excitement, it was far ...
