I dread when my mom calls my sisters and I downstairs and lists off all of the chores each of us has the pleasure of doing. I anxiously pray that I have a day off, but usually end up with the painful task of doing the dishes or gathering trash from every room. Chore charts and family meetings are j...
“La La Land” lovers

At first, I did not know what "La La Land" was and I definitely didn’t feel the need to see a movie that included, what I thought to be, the same old plot of a boy and a girl meeting and falling in love. Although Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone were my selling factors, I was not counting down the days...

It was an average game day for my teammates and me: the whistle blew and the soccer match began against the Mater Dei Mustangs. Little did I know that the game would change my life.

Reminiscing about freshman and sophomore year bring back so many mixed emotions - cons include being the senior target; pros include getting more than four hours of sleep at night.

As the school day carries on, I can't take my mind off of the fact that I won't be home from golf match until 8:30 p.m. Still, would that give me enough time to shower, eat dinner, do my homework, study and go to bed at a reasonable...
