When thinking of the summer, we tend to think of it as a mental relaxation from the stresses and pressures that come as a high school student.

My whole life I’ve heard that, in bad times, you should always look for the silver lining. The Coronavirus pandemic has certainly caused bad times. We can’t attend school in person, major milestones in our lives have been canceled, and people can’t go to work outside of their homes. The people who do have to go to work outside...
Every generation of people in America has faced an event that dramatically changed their world. Baby Boomers faced the Civil Rights movement, the JFK assassination, and the Cold War.

Although known to most individuals at this point, COVID-19 has reached over 162 countries. Specifically in the United States, all fifty states have cases of COVID-19, and the numbers don't seem to be on the decline anytime soon. President Trump recently announced today that groups of 10+ should not gather and estimates that control of the virus will occur...
"2019 was not the best year for most people, and it was especially a bust for me. Overall, 2019 was disappointing. 2020 is a new year for me. New year, new decade." -Literally every person who had a resolution that would not last this year Yeah, I don't think so. While the memes are funnier than ever, humans have experienced...
