For me and the rest of my graduating high school class, 2009, the same […]
Brooke Boznango @missboznango It has become a recent trend to “sue the president.” Republicans specifically have tried to sue the president, accusing him of nefarious acts against the people of The United States of America. In all honesty, I don’t pay much attention to politics in everyday life. While I believe that it is an […]
Julianna Koballa @UFPulseKoballa Scroll through any social media and you will witness this phenomenon. You’ve participated and your sister has participated. Brother, mother and all other relatives have shown their support in ALS research through the ice bucket challenge. It’s almost toxic to the eyes.

By Julianna Koballa @UFPulseKoballa Nail polish has been a common accessory for girls for the longest time. We obsess over what color, what length and how much time we spend on the appearance of our keratin formalities. We love reds, pinks and the occasional, professional looking French manicure. We have even got into the craze […]
By Brooke Boznango @missboznango Some of you may have noticed that Findlay High School is going under construction. What you are seeing is the construction of a new safety entrance.
