The Spice Girls were a global phenomenon in the late 1990s. After auditioning to be in the band, the group was officially formed in 1994. Two years after training and becoming the friends we still see today, the girls released their first song Wannabe in July of 1996. Many of […]
A few days before school began, I read “A Separate Peace” by John Knowles for my sophomore year English class. The title comes from Gene, the main character, finding a unique peace in youth and friendship. As I live my life, there are small moments where I look back on […]
Tiger nation, let’s relax. Yes, Friday night’s loss to Lufkin was bad. Yes, Consol was ranked third in 5A-DI by Dave Campbell’s Texas Football. Yes, Lufkin was unranked. But the sky is not falling. This is a non-district game. More than that, this is only the third game of the […]
My first time tasting boba tea was at Good Luck and Good Times Tea House. There were so many choices from tropical to coffee (maybe flip coffee and tropical). I chose a rose boba milk tea. The tea was exceptionally amazing! It was nice and cold, which was very refreshing […]
It was a sweltering night. My mom’s car’s AC was broken. The only thing that kept me from turning back was the hope and promise of orange chicken at T. Jins. Medium-sized chicken pieces with orange glaze perked up my taste buds. Not only was it fried goodness, the orange-flavored […]
“We are going to Houston tonight! Pack your bags!” That is the first sentence my dad said when he came home from work. At first I thought he was joking because who would drive to Houston at 9 p.m. after a long day of work, regardless if it’s summer vacation […]
“A house divided against itself cannot stand,” said Abraham Lincoln when he talked about the sectionalism that separated the North and South. But that quote still applies everywhere. There are so many different issues in our nation because we all are not on the same page. We are still arguing […]
8:20. 5 minutes left. I step out into the warm sun. A barren parking lot greets me. When the sky was just a single degree darker, the lot was swarming with students. Not anymore. I pull the handle for a routine check. It’s locked. Good. Now no mysterious parking-lot burglars […]
Do not forget the 2021-2022 Texas A&M Aggies men’s basketball team. Mere hours ago, the team was moments away from an NIT title. It was poetic justice for a group many thought got hosed, snubbed, screwed, and other words not fit for print by the NCAA Tournament selection committee. Even […]
I love Texas A&M. I’ve lived in College Station most of my life. Both of my parents are Aggies. I was planning on applying to a few different schools as your typical high school junior does, but it seemed like a foregone conclusion that I would enroll at Texas A&M […]
