For my last column at THS, I’m going to break the rules a little bit. But, hey, who doesn’t? In most farewell columns, writers write about the great experiences they’ve had on their staff, what they’ve learned, what they’ll miss, and what they hope for in the future. Instead, I’d like to... Read more »

Whatever happened to seniors not having to take the final if they have a B or better? AP classes are what happened. In my AP classes, if you don’t take the AP test, you are required to take the final, no matter what. Okay, take English for example. The college I’m going to only accepts either 11... Read more »

I recently got my first parking ticket (well, my first ticket at all, for that matter), ironically enough, while attending a journalism conference. I was in Ann Arbor, at the Michigan Daily, and upon pulling into the parking garage and finding a spot at 9:27 A.M. on a Saturday, I saw a sign that said... Read more »

It’s great that THS is trying to keep its students safe. It’s a little less great that it’s doing such a poor job. 1. Why do I have to carry my ID card in the back of the hall pass? Administration says: It’s part of security; it’s a visibility issue. It’s easier and... Read more »

It’s 2011, and books are becoming obsolete. Border’s is going out of business. Barnes and Noble seems to be doing well, though, probably due to the fact that they have followed Amazon into the technological age and copied its Kindle with their Nook. As technology grows, something always gets... Read more »

Danielle Deals Da Dish: Passover

May 15, 2011

As a Reform Jew, I know little about my own religion. My modest knowledge extends to the facts that we don’t believe Jesus is God’s son, Israel is our homeland, the stories about the major holidays, and kosher is a type of diet Jews are supposed to keep. As far as I knew, kosher meant no meat and... Read more »

Danielle Deals Da Dish: Food Revolution

April 21, 2011

The second season of Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution premiered last week; meanwhile, my mind was still reeling from the unbelievable revelations from the first: elementary schoolers mistook carrots for their guess of broccoli, parents made pizza and fried chicken for dinner every night, public school... Read more »

Danielle Deals Da Dish: RAK

March 17, 2011

If you ever need a dollar, I hope I’m in line in front of you. On March 13, 2011 at approximately 5:40 P.M., I stopped at Target to get a notebook. I was with my mom; we had just gone grocery shopping at the Kroger a mile up the road. Because I was with my mom, I hadn’t brought my wallet with me,... Read more »

Danielle Deals Da Dish: American Idol

February 6, 2011

On January 19, at exactly eight in the evening, I returned home. Home—to American Idol. Season 10 officially kicked off on that wonderful January night, unveiling a new judging panel, a new logo, and new contestants. Having been a fan (Okay, obsessed. You can’t talk to me for 10 minutes without me... Read more »

Danielle Deals Da Dish: Snow

January 15, 2011

Wait, so you’re telling me that with all the taxes I pay, with all the taxes my parents pay, with all the taxes everyone pays, you can’t afford to pay someone minimum wage to plow Long Lake? Let’s be honest; this is Michigan. We get snow. It needs to be plowed. Let’s be honest, again; the government... Read more »
