It's been a long night of homework, and I still have some more notes to study over. I've been doing pretty well, so I tell myself: it's okay, log on to Facebook for five minutes, what's the harm? Of course, there is the little voice in my head screaming and pleading me not to do it....
It's finally here; the most wonderful time of the school year: Homecoming.
Many Niles West students look forward to the festivities that the Homecoming season brings us: the assembly, the parade, the school spirit days, the Homecoming football game, and of course, the Homecoming dance.

Let's start with a recap of the past, at this point last year, I wrote a blog preeching to the choir of bears fans to fire Mike Martz.

Because the offense, a sign of concern in years passed finally showed up for a game...

Niles West has never been known for its timeliness, but this year has gotten off to a particularly rough start. Between the torn down tiles on the staircases and the South Lobby construction, getting around school has been a little more difficult than usual. Not to mention the i...
It's a Monday afternoon and it's ninth period. Legs are shaking, pencils are tapping, everyone's getting a little restless. And as expected with a restless class, we all tend to get a bit off topic. The "off-topic" portion today was the entire class complaining abou...
