Bhad Bhabie, Billie Eilish, and LOTB: each my age or younger and self-made millionaires. Whenever I see them make media headlines, I think to myself “Damn, they’re my age and they’re on top of the world. What am I doing with my life?” While I can’t see myself rising to fame over a viral confrontation with Dr. Phil, like Bhad...
Some say “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” If everyone just eats apples on a regular basis, would disease be wiped off the face of the Earth? Maybe. But until then, doctors everywhere are doing their best to keep the world healthy. Among these is Christopher Madden, MD. Dr. Madden is currently a Professor in the Department of...
Yes. You read the title correctly. You may be thinking: How is this possible? What could they possibly have done? Quarter-zip sweaters have been added to Jesuit's dress code. And who do we have to thank? None other than Jesuit's STUCO. No longer will the student body suffer through sub-70 degree temperature without protection. Upper and underclassmen alike can now...

All fundamental rivalries that have a clear winner: Pepsi will always trump Coke, the Big Mac will always crush the Whopper, and the final goes without being said. Sometimes, the answer isn't so obvious. Consider the great INTERACT vs. PALS debate. Both junior service organizations work to achieve the MAGIS...
When a teacher reads the roster to take attendance on the first day of school, there’s a pretty high chance he/she will butcher someone’s name down the line. The teacher doesn’t mean any harm in pronouncing the student’s name wrong, but when the student doesn’t correct the teacher, the mispronounced name becomes theirs for the rest of the year. Iran...
On the first day of AP World History, the wise Kbrom Yohannes mandated the first rule of the class as respect: respecting our classmates, respecting our teacher, and respecting the prompt. Respecting the prompt indirectly requires a level of respect for the entity that developed the prompt: the College Board. I’m thankful that AP exams are administered in May...
