Sibling Rivalry In a school with nearly 3000 students and four grades, siblings are inevitably going to be in high school together. Catelynn Chapman and her older sister, Candice Chapman, junior, haven’t let being at the same school keep them from caring and being each others best friend. “[We are] best friends for ever, for life, for all eternity! We are stuck together,” said Catelynn, “I think everyone should be jealous I have this sister. She taught me everything I know.” When they were younger, Catelynn used to follow in her sister’s footsteps. “When we were younger, like in elementary school, [Catelynn] did everything I did. Now she’s more her own person,”said Candice Just because they have different class schedules doesn’t mean they don’t see each other in Central’s many hallways. “She’d be in the hallway and scream my name, but now we just give [each other] a hug. It’s like seeing your best friend.” Candice and Catelynn do love each other as family, Candice tends to be a bit protective over her sister. “I love embarrassing her in front of her friends,” said Catelynn Ariel Utchell and her twin Kramer, both juniors, have been going to the same school since they started school, “We basically only get along when at school,” said Ariel,”When you’re the same age as a sibling, friendship probably isn’t happening.” If you ever see these twins together it’s probably lunch, the only time they have together during school. At home they sometimes play video games together.” “[Kramer] is usually in his room separated from everyone else,” said Ariel

I am going to Texas Tech and I’m majoring in exercise sports science. I like not having bells operate your system and you can hang out with anyone as long as you get all your studying done. I’m involved in flag football, racquetball, community service, and I’m in church stuff but I haven’t found a core church. My favorite class is Asian American Literature and short stories and it’s hilarious because my teacher’s heavy Vietnamese accent is difficult to understand. My advice to seniors would be to enjoy high school. Once you get into college don’t slack off because it’s a new beginning so try to make the best of it. Make sure to be open minded because you will meet so many people. Getcha guns up and and visit Texas Tech.

I am going to Texas Tech and I’m majoring in Mass Communications but I will most likely major in Broadcast Journalism or Visual Communications.The professors here are amazing! My English professor curses like a sailor but it’s so funny. My favorite thing about college so far is meeting new people,getting to sleep in, just having fun and the football games are beyond amazing! My advice to seniors would be to definitely NOT let senioritis get to you. Figure out how to use your time wisely and do not wait until the last minute to send in college applications. The most college like classes I took in high school were definitely Hayward’s Economic class and Long’s Government class. Most of my professors either teach or lecture like Hayward and Long. Definitely worth taking AP classes.
