Many students in the class of 2016 suffer from senioritis and the only cure is graduation. “I think senioritis is silly. A lot of times I think it's an excuse for a lot of people to give up, or be lazy or an excuse for people to think they don't need to put any effort into the end of their high school career.

Grit comes in many forms

Bailey Hall, Opinion Editor April 1, 2016

Together for two years, Greiser and Allinson aim to focus on important traits in their relationship instead of striving to meet the standards of media. “Talking to each other is important.  We both think communicating is important, and it is, so we’re really good at being honest with each other,” said Greiser.  Keeping realistic goals in a relationship is far more valuable than trying to match the couples stereotypes seen on social media.
