In the new age, I find myself looking forward to my deaths more than my rebirths. The process of destruction is one that begins in the mirror, having always represented the final form of vanity.

Is detention worth it?
Xander Donahue, Staff Writer
May 3, 2019
When schools are forced to punish students for misbehaving, they usually revert to assigning detention. Detention can be served before, after or during school.
