Caitlin Blackmon is a senior at Johnson High School and this is her second year writing for MyJagNews. She enjoys journaling, dreaming of traveling, and binge-watching movies on Netflix. She spends a majority of her spare time strolling through Nordstrom with an iced latte in hand (that is, if she's not busy making them).
The problem with serving people coffee, though, is that it seems there’s more of an entitlement issue when a customer doesn’t get an insta-worthy latte.
2016 was a year filled with wild new dance moves (if you can call them that), random challenges that no one really knows the origin of, and the ever-recurring Donald Trump memes. Some of these were funny or intriguing at first, but even a cute kid doing unbelievable water bottle tricks can make you want to poke your eyeballs out after seeing ten other kids (and your best friend’s grandpa) do the same thing.
Embarking on the college journey is an invigorating and nerve-wracking thought that’s quickly approaching reality for second semester seniors. But just because you’re young and dumb and have limited experience with being out on your own, doesn’t mean there aren’t things you can do to somewhat prepare yourself.
Since the BYOD program was implemented, senior Nick Cryer has observed several posters around school advertising BYOD and explaining what it means for students.
Starting at a new school during high school can be a challenge for any high school student. Starting at a new high school as a senior is a whole other story.
Face it- school has started, and although you may still be reminiscing those golden summer days, school is in session and you’ve got to pass your classes.
