Rainbow. 450.” A string of words that Terry Ives has been repeating for years, documenting how she lost Eleven and her attempts to retrieve her.

I have always loved notebooks. I’m the kind of person to get a notebook, fill up five pages, and then subsequently forget about it and buy a new one. After a while, I accumulated quite a large stack of empty journals with no real reason for owning them. So, I gave myself a reason. I made one a journal, dedicated one to taking notes, made one into a journal-share (more on that later), and filled one with poetry. I still have more waiting to be used, but I’m planning on finishing these before I move on. Journaling is one of the most relaxing activities I’ve ever taken part in, and I’m honestly frustrated I haven’t stuck with it previously. Not only is it therapeutic, it’s hilarious. My eighth grade self is whiny and angsty, and re-reading all of those teenage thoughts is like watching a comedy show featuring the world’s…

The winter, with its bitter cold and biting winds, has procured yet another unpleasant threat to our well-being. A flu virus has been spreading quickly from person to person, leading to profuse illness, and, on occasion, even death. Fear not, however! The virus has not greatly affected our school, and Mr. Kennedy, the Upper School Principal, states that, “We’re strong, we will persevere, we are not panicked.” About 5% of the middle school student body has come down with the flupocaplypse, while only 4% of the upper school has fallen prey to the epidemic’s wrath. Two upper school teachers have been absent, while no middle school teachers have missed school as a result of the flu. Teachers and kids have been out more than normal in the upper school, though the extent of absences has been about what one would suspect for this time of year. When approached by us,…

Hey everyone, I’m Luke and I will be continuing our Stranger Things series, reviewing Season 2 Episode 5, “Dig Dug.” I think that the episode did a great job of switching between storylines, as well as giving as an intense cliffhanger at the end. I’m going to give a disclaimer that the rest of this review will include spoilers. I truly believe that a show like Stranger Things is best experienced without prior knowledge. Ready? Alright, let’s start the synopsis. We left off with Hopper discovering an underground tunnel. Episode 5 starts off with Joyce trying to call Hopper, without success. While Joyce and Mike try to connect Will’s drawings, Will says that he feels what the shadow monster is feeling. Mike tells Will that Will can be like a spy, but Will feels that the monster can spy on them. We cut back to Hopper, who is exploring the…
