Why is it that as we inch towards the fi nish line of high school, we look behind us and not (Editor’s note: Defi nitions from Merriam-Webster) forward?

Adversity: A state of continued difﬁ culty. In the midst of senior year, one can be overwhelmed by the reality of pending adulthood. The ﬁ nal lap of our high school career is a representa- tion of challenges, whether it manifests itself in the form of nerve wrack- ing college decisions, the long-debated case of senioritis, and imminent life changes that lie ahead after graduation. Trust me, we’ll look back on this and realize we underestimate ourselves.

For many, this year marks our last time getting bruises from the tu- multuous Disco Fiber, biting into döner kebabs, and getting drawn on in shades of red, green and blue during Fasching.
