Last week, we welcomed a new exchange student from Guiyang, China: Haven Yang! This sophomore arrived at LAX on Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 PM after an 11 hour, 13 minute direct flight from Beijing to Los Angeles (not including a 3 hour flight from Guiyang to Beijing). Despite the 16 hour time change and the long flight, Haven is a determined student ready for her new American high school experience.

Part of what makes me such an embarrassment is my laugh. It is quite possibly the loudest, most obnoxious thing to ever exist.

Before I get started, I want to dispel the notion that the college process is going to be hard for everyone. This rumor is solely a mental distortion created by teenagers and parents who have nothing else to worry about other than academics.

Looking to add another movie to my extensive collection of vampire and werewolf movies, I went to go see The Wolfman, directed by Joe Johnston (who has also directed Jumanji, Jurassic Park Three, and Hidalgo). Word around the senior quad was that the movie was scary, so I was looking forward to spend some of my hard earned cash on a good scare.
