The wild bunch

Alyssa Schmidt

The gloomy sky teases us with a drizzle of rain on our drive into Dallas. The highway congests with Friday traffic and threatens to make us late to our concert.

My friend Jacob drives us as I sit in the passenger seat of his red Volkswagen.

Alex, Molly and Cara chat lively all while crammed together in the backseat. The pop punk anthems of The Wonder Years blare in the speakers. Jacob and I poorly imitate Dan “Soupy” Campbell’s nasally vocals, garnering laughs and feigned frustration from Molly.

The next song comes on, “When We

Philosophical face

William Legrone

The dust is high in the air. The dry Australian sun beats down on the rusted metal of the car and the cracked leather of his jacket. Max brutishly gathers his belongings and jumps into his car. A young girl’s face flashes across his mind. His past haunts him. He acts as though he’s gone mad. His experiences and who he claims to be has defined him. He has assumed the

Stand On Each Other We Block Out the Sun” by Fireworks. The atmosphere in the car becomes somber as the opening chords play. Jacob and I stare sadly at each other. The chorus blares with the lines of friendship and willingness to “guide a sinking ship,” down to the “bottom with them.”

These lines bring me back to the bittersweet reality that for my entire high school career, I’ve been working towards leaving. Despite all of the elaborate plans I concocted throughout the years, nothing turned out exactly as I had expected.

One of the main plans that I made never came to fruition. Starting freshmen year, my older brother and I decided that I would move to Georgia my senior year. I would live with him and establish residency so that I could qualify for in-state tuition to the University of Georgia. I would major in journalism and from there work for the music magazine Alternative Press.

But there is one thing that I couldn’t ever account for: life happening.

In a matter of three years my brother had three babies and no room in his house. I had visited Belmont University in Nashville and fell in love. I made the four best friends

I’ve ever had, none of which I ever planned on happening.

Senior year flew by in blur and soon it will be time to put on the red cap and gown and accept my diploma, formally resolving the four year journey of high school. Soon it will be time to pack up my belongings into cardboard boxes and take a roadtrip to Nashville.

But before that, there’s one last show that I have to go to and it’s the night before I leave for college.

Before I take the long drive down to Nashville, my friends and I will take another journey down to Dallas. This time to see Fireworks play. As we listen to the songs that helped me through high school, I’ll more than likely tear up a little bit. Dave Mackinder will sing the words, “I don’t know where I’m going, but it’s where I want to be,” and I’ll know exactly how he feels.

It’s impossible to know exactly where we’re going in life. It’s impossible to know who you’re going to meet and how they’re going to affect you. What I’ve learned is that you have to keep an open mind and an open heart. My life hasn’t turned out exactly the way I planned it out, but I know I wouldn’t want it to be anything else.

identity of Mad Max. Is an individual defined by their history or by who they claim to be? This seems to be the very question that the Mad Max franchise asks and is the same question I ask myself all too often. I’m inclined to believe that both sides hold some truth although I’m still not too sure. But this question isn’t supposed to close the great mystery about who we really are. It’s intended to make us think about something quite different. It forces us to contemplate the kind of person we’ll become.

The obvious choice is to be a good one.

That’s the one that I’d like to pick. But then that wouldn’t really be a truthful answer to the question. The reality of it is that I don’t always get what I want and that chance, fate, destiny, whatever you want to call it, is cloaked in obscurity. I don’t know who I’ll become. I don’t know where my history lead me or what I’ll say when people ask who I am. Perhaps my answer will be found wanting, but even I can see the futility in lying to myself in claiming I know what my history will become or what kind of person I’ll be.

So why ask the question at all then? I ask

myself so that I might change my stars. To evaluate if who I am right now will become a man that his children would speak fondly of. To see if who I am will become a detriment to myself and those that I might care about.

I ask myself because if there is the slightest chance of preventing such a reality, and I don’t know if there is, then I don’t want to miss that chance. I would hold onto that chance like I would hold onto life. I would have my life be one that I could proudly proclaim was a good one and left more good than was ever in it. I want my history to be fraught with cheerful memories. I want who I say I am to reflect a good man, and for it to be true.

The vision of the girl appears again to Max. His past is filled with regret toward his failure to save her and others like her.

But his failures affirm his nature. The nature of a good man that never failed for lack of trying. Whether the grueling nature of his past or who he says he is has any influence on who he has become, one part of Max has always stood firm. Max always strives to be the best man that he can be. He always looks to improve lives around him.

By my side

Austin Rickerson

I look down at my desk, stuck on another logarithmic differentiation problem. That black, Clear Point mechanical pencil stares back up at me, encouraging me to finish my calculus homework. It’s the same one I’ve had since freshman year.

Of course, it isn’t the shiny, wellmanicured piece of plastic I first had.

The rubber grips are torn off. The eraser is no longer functional. The lead must be inserted one piece at a time. Several parts have been broken and taped back together.

Yet I continue to use it day-in and day-out for math homework, biology notes, English essays, newspaper interviews and any other assignment that calls for a reliable writing utensil.

“Isn’t it time for a new pencil?” people ask me all the time. “Why don’t you just throw that one away and get a new one?”

But I never really have an answer for them.

I suppose this is just my pencil, and I’ll keep it until it is broken beyond the repair of my teachers’ Scotch tape. So maybe I’m just too lazy to get another pencil out of my mom’s office drawer. Maybe I’m too forgetful to take the hunk of old plastic out of my pencil bag when I get home from school.

But when I consider all of the things that can turn life upside down in an instant, maybe it’s nice to just have something that remains constant through it all.

Even if it’s just a pencil.

In a world that is going in a million different directions all at once, we all look for that one anchor to keep us sane.

Whether it’s family, friends, our faith in God or a relationship with a significant other, it can be the one thing that makes this unpredictable life worth living. Over these high school years I feel like I’ve been through it all - countless English essays, thousands of math problems, three years of newspaper, driving school, SAT and ACT tests, college applications, job applications, family conflicts, multiple girlfriends, divorce. The shy, Justin Bieber-haired little boy that first walked into Marcus has given way to a young man with a face full of stubble and sky-high aspirations. So when I consider how different my life is now

than it was four years ago when I first took that mechanical pencil out of the plastic packaging, it makes it so much more than a piece of plastic that cost $1.59 at Office Depot.

In a similar way I look back on all of the people who were there for me through the good times and the bad during my high school years. After all, some pencils serve their purposes and are thrown away. In the same way, some people play a part in your life and then move on for whatever reason.

Some people drift apart from you over time.

Some people are simply taken from you.

But some people stay by your side through thick and thin. They are those black, Clear Point mechanical pencils that may get bent or broken but stick with you until the end.

Family, friends and most importantly a God who never leaves my side, even when I feel abandoned and alone. And, hopefully, I have been that loyal, reliant anchor to someone else as well.

From a 14-year-old who didn’t know his way around the school on his first day to an 18-year-old who is ready to walk across the stage at graduation, I have come a long way over these four years. And I am grateful to everyone who has been by my side to guide me along the way. I’m blessed by all of those anchors, all of those Clear Point mechanical pencils that have supported me throughout high school and will help me embark into my future.

High school history

Alex Helm

Freshman: She’s nervous. She’s about to start her first day of band camp with 300 kids she doesn’t know. Her hair is in braids and her stomach is in knots as her mom pulls up to the door. She hauls her trombone out of the red Mini Cooper and holds her breath. On the way home after the first 12-hour day of practice, she’s tired but smiling. She loves band.

First day of school. High school. It’s not too exciting. She’s actually been here a month already. She’s made new friends, all in band. She likes her classes. Her mom was more nervous about high school than she was. The next four years hold so much for her.

Can do it later

Riley McClure

I’ve sat in this chair for the past few days trying to come up with an idea as to what I am going to write about. I’ve wondered if I should I write about something serious or maybe something a little more funny?

Thinking all this time I’ve realized that my time in journalism has come full circle.

About a year ago, I still neeeded an

10 Senior columns

Sophomore: It’s year two, and she knows how it works. Band camp passes and she gets to march. She stands in the Alamodome in November, holding the last note as loud as she can, tears streaming down her face. They win a fourth state title. And she couldn’t have been more thankful to be friends with the trombone section.

It’s January, and a boy with black eyes hurts her. The boy with blue eyes heals her.

They munch on bacon Nutella cupcakes on Valentine’s Day, and she tells him it’s okay if he holds her hand.

It’s June and she lays in her bed, her heart as crumpled as her dress. Tears pool in her hands. He’s moved on and her best friend is no help. Her summer is gray.

Junior: Band camp year three. She has to see him every day. Her best friend doesn’t talk to her anymore. The only people who get her through the long month of August is a girl that plays the flute and a boy with brown eyes. That and newspaper. Writing becomes her release. The journalism workshop she took over the summer changed her life. The newspaper issue on rape culture was her proudest moment that year.

She talks to her best friend that was no help and forgives her. The two realize that they may never agree on things completely, but they will always be friends.

A band aide takes away “Holiday” by Green Day from the group of trombones that’s playing it. That was the final straw.

She decides to quit right then and there.

The boy with brown eyes becomes her best friend. He knows everything about her, and she knows everything about him.

He walks across the stage with his diploma in hand, and she laughs through the tears.

She’ll miss him so much.

Senior: A group of four girls, her included, all room together at a summer journalism workshop. This is her second time here, but this time is better than the last because she comes away with three new best friends. A feminist vegan, a spunky princess and a total sweetheart. She wishes she could’ve known them sooner.

She gets an acceptance letter to UNT. She doesn’t make a big deal about it, but deep down she’s super excited. She’s going to major in journalism and minor in women’s studies. Plus, she gets to reunite with the boy with brown eyes.

She turns 18 and her mom gives her 18 birthday cards. She sings loud in a Pathfinder because prayers are answered.

She dresses up for prom and she can’t believe how beautiful all her friends are.

She’s about to walk across that stage and start a new life.

This is my high school story.

elective to take for my senior year. Then I remembered what my journalism teacher had told me earlier that year. She told me that I had a bit of a knack at designing things in her class and that I should consider joining newspaper, but the deadline to apply for a spot in newspaper had passed. I filled out the application anyway and went to go talk to the newspaper teacher. With the recommendation of my journalism teacher, I was accepted into the class even though the deadline had passed.

Before I joined newspaper, I didn’t know what I wanted to do in the future. I felt like I’d do something with art. It wasn’t until after I had joined newspaper that I knew I wanted to continue pursuing graphic design in college. Looking back, I can’t help but wonder what would’ve happened if I hadn’t been accepted into newspaper.

Would I have realized that I might actually have a future with graphic design, or would my procrastination have left me clueless?

My procrastination has always been an issue. For as long as I can remember, I have

always thought to myself that I can finish whatever needs to be finished some other time. For instance, I was told to write this column a few weeks ago. The deadline passed and I still didn’t know what to write about. I just kept telling myself that I had more important things to do with my time, like sleep.

I now know it was definitely not worth it. All the late grades really add up. On top of that, procrastination is not a desirable trait no matter where you want to go in life.

Future employers will always be looking for employees who can meet deadlines and be on time. If you are always completing projects late or arriving late, it’s likely that you will not be sticking around for long.

The message that I would like to send out to anyone reading this, underclassmen especially, is to get things done on time. If you already are, then keep it up. If you’re like me and love to procrastinate on everything, IT’S NOT TOO LATE. You can change.

But if you’re like me you’ll put if off until tomorrow. Or next week. Or maybe never.

Good enough

Molly Webber

She has blonde hair.

“You’ll never really be able to go back to your natural color, you know,” my mom reminded me.

“I know.”

Freshman me slowly applied the blonde box color. Maybe, if I did this just like the directions say, I’ll be good enough.

Slowly, my light brown naturally highlighted hair disappeared inside the chemicals that were being applied to my head.

I was going to be better than the girl with brown hair. I was going to be good enough.

She has straight teeth.

I slammed my door shut after the fight with my family. I am a freshman in high school in desperate need of braces. The gaps in my teeth were becoming more noticeable, and an intense desperation overcame me.

Why haven’t I had them yet? I tried to smile at myself in the mirror to inspect the

vision that others saw. But all that pointed back to me was what I was lacking: A perfect smile.

So for two sad years, braces bound together my attempt at better self-esteem.

She’s skinny.

For Christmas sophomore year, I received the gym membership to LA Fitness that I had been wanting. Along with the treadmill runs and weight lifting, I began to stop eating as much as I should, skipping at least two meals a day.

When the fatigue, headaches and finally fainting became too much, I went to the doctor. I had a salt deficiency, and suddenly I realized that the amount I consumed was unable to meet the demands of my body.

And the worst part? I still wasn’t skinny enough.

I still wasn’t good enough.

She listens to country music.

Over the summer before my senior year, I learned every word to every country song that was released. The sweltering heat became an opportunity to study the most popular genre in Texas.

I had forgotten how much I actually despised the banjo.

I slowly felt like I was drowning inside of loud depressing thoughts.

But my intense inability to breathe was overtaken by the belief that I wasn’t good enough.

She has her nails done perfectly all the time. She is a great singer. She’s amazing at sports. She is really smart. She’s a model.

She doesn’t have anxiety. She isn’t depressed.

Her dad doesn’t have cancer.

No, her dad doesn’t have cancer. She can probably go to more football games than hospital visits. She can probably sit with her boyfriend and friends and take selfies and post them on Instagram, instead of being stuck inside of a sterile ICU waiting room.

But I couldn’t.

With the diagnosis, somehow, came comfort. At that moment, it didn’t matter if he liked me back, or if I had a lot of friends, or if I was good enough. All that mattered was that my dad would survive one of the most deadly diseases.

When he officially entered in remission on April 7, not even 9 months from his diagnosis, I found myself looking in the mirror again. And even though I didn’t recognize myself, I honestly was proud of who I became.

I came to the conclusion that the reason why the blonde hair, straight teeth, bony body, country music weren’t giving me the expected outcome of being good enough was because it wasn’t me. I didn’t like myself, mostly because I had never taken the time to get to know myself.

I only got to know Her, the person I wanted to be.

But then, God gave me an obstacle that revealed to me that I was more than that, and that I was thankful that I wasn’t who She was.

I was who I was.

By graduation, my brunette-haired, crooked smiled, curvy, jean wearing, punk rock enthusiast self will be looking over pictures of Her while getting to know me.

And I can’t wait to find out who I truly am.
