I ended up purchasing two pairs of shorts, five tank tops, three bikinis, two straw hats, and a pair of shades. I couldn’t wait to see what the mall had in store for us. I tried to remember that I needed to stick to my budget, just in case Trevor and I didn’t work out. I didn’t want to go crazy and spend all of my…
People may find it shocking that a Subway commercial would give into the sexist portrayal of women in Halloween costumes. The commercial is conforming to the new social norm that women should dress with sex appeal on Halloween. Halloween is no longer seen as a night to dress-up in creepy costumes. The media is emphasizing on more and more on the cuteness of costumes rather than the creativity. Even the naming of the costumes as “Sexy Nurse” and “Hot Devil,” portray this new view of Halloween.…

Truth or Dare by Ema Zagajac 1st hour Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to tell you that there is something a lot more terrifying than the Kardashians when they are angry. Death. Most days, I am the only one who rides the bus. Apparently, the bus was “lame” to students at West Shore Preparatory. People seem to cluster in little cliques. I have two objectives while I am here, (1) to stay in the shadows, and (2) graduate and get the hell out of this damn high school and move on with…
