Quarter Four Is Making Me Lose My Mind

Cael Brennan, Editor April 9, 2021

If quarter 3 left like a dream, then quarter 4 came in like a mack truck stampeding over mine and everyone’s bodies.  As foremostly, I'm tired. No, not a valley girl, “I’m just like so tirrrrred”, rather instead dig me a big enough grave so that I follow social distance protocol. When every...

Amritha Suresh  January 7, 2021

  I disagree with the Prowl’s view on, “The Internet Needs to Stop Making Teenagers Famous for Nothing,” and it's pessimistic view on the influencers in the media. Tik Tok Charli D’Amelio got famous on the app for her easy- to- copy dances, and her kind nature.  The article stated...

Cael Brennan: This year the thing I wish to show my thanks is the Internet. Do not be dismayed by its cold exterior and the internet’s aptitude for seemingly appearing as lifeless.

The Internet Needs to Stop Making Teenagers Famous for Nothing

Shea Sullivan, Writer March 25, 2020

The internet has developed a strange habit of making random teenagers famous for little to no reason. Take Charli D'amelio, for example, the fifteen year old "reigning queen of TikTok," according to the New York Times.
