Dear Dee, What will life be like after Jesuit? - Curious George Dear Curious George, Life will be different, interesting, weird, exciting, uncomfortable and amazing.

Desperate Dave” Dear Desperate Dave, “The heart wants what the heart wants” I believe is the age-old adage to which your situation applies. Longings for love can yield either feelings of transcendental ecstasy or backbreaking emotional pain, with the...
On September 5th, the city of Dallas had aerial sprays over the Jesuit Dallas campus in an attempt to calm the recent senioritus breakout.
