Inside Insight: Senior Center Spread pg. 18 & 19 Teachers’ Senior Pictures pg. 22 2 opinion Consider the Cost of College If you are a high school junior or senior, chances are you have been asked the question: “Which colleges are you applying to?” more than once. Enrolling in a university has become a rapidly growing trend among the American youth. In fact, enrollment in college has increased by a whopping 37 percent between the years 2000 and 2010. However, with college attendance climbing significantly each year, tuition has increased dramatically as well. College grads are finding themselves swimming in a debt of thousands of dollars once they are on their own, and jobs for young adults are becoming scarce. More and more it seems as though us young people are being judged by which college we attend rather than who we are as individuals, and if we choose another path entirely, we are being written off as something of lesser value by our society in which we live in. We have to ask ourselves: Will the thousands of dollars we invest in college pay off once we graduate? Is success always measured by the amount of money one makes? Or more importantly, are we selling out what we truly wish and dream for ourselves only to give in to new social illustration by Mark Russell “norm” that is college? After a long three years of waiting, senior Mark Russell was finally allowed to draw the editorial Yes, it is true that college is a time of self exploration and cartoon with the crying girl. maturity. But, despite the first true taste of freedom college has to offer, it is a huge financial expense. When asked why most students choose college as a path after high school, many kids respond by saying that having a degree equals a high-paying job after graduating.

    Bachelor Alum Melissa Rycroft Strickland Delivers a Girl It’s a girl for Bachelor alum Melissa Rycroft Strickland, reports People.

Rycroft, who dumped Jason Mesnick after accepting a proposal on the Bachelor, married Strickland in December 2009. Ava Grace, the first child for both, weighed in at 6 lbs. 13 oz. and was born in Dallas, Texas. Rycroft’s reaction? “Everything is wonderful and life is exactly as it should be.” How do you keep hope after a relationship ends badly? Cupid’s Advice: There can be few things more mind boggling than believing your relationship is fine one day and then finding yourself single the next. This little doozey makes us all a bit crazy. Even if you think you’re ready for a new relationship, it can be hard to approach it with a clean slate: 1. Time heals all: This may be true, but so does moving forward. Don’t hold yourself back and swear off relationships just because one didn’t work out. Each relationship is different and should be treated as such. 2. Learn from your mistakes: Your relationship may be over, but it’s not all bad. Treat it as an opportunity to learn from the past and move on to a happier place in a new relationship. 3. Look for the silver lining: If all else fails and skies look gray ahead, keep it simple. If you were meant to be together, you would be. Keep the faith that there’s someone out there for you..

  • ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Star Chris Bukowski on Celebrity Romance with Elise Mosca: Dates Were “Spec
    ‘Bachelor In Paradise’ Star Chris Bukowski on Celebrity Romance with Elise Mosca: Dates Were “Spectacular” Interview by Whitney Johnson. Written by Sarah Batcheller and Shannon Seibert. Bartlett, Illinois native Chris Bukowski was the fourth runner-up on Emily Maynard’s season ofThe Bachelorette and was seen as a main competitor on season 3 of the Bachelor Pad. Since his initial reality TV appearance, he has molded himself into quite the entrepreneur as the owner of The Bracket Room, a sports bar and lounge in Arlington, Virginia. Earlier this summer though, Bukowski put his business on the back burner and returned to the small screen with the hope of finding a celebrity romance on Bachelor in Paradise (fourth time’s a charm, right?). Chris Bukowski on Looking for Relationship and Love on Reality TV Related Link: ‘Bachelorette’ Star Marcus Grodd Is Engaged to ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Costar He recently created quite a media frenzy when he “crashed” the premiere episode of Andi Dorfman’s season of The Bachelorette. We saw on the Men Tell All episode that host Chris Harrison wouldn’t let Bukowski come to the stage and meet her. “I was totally thrown off-guard when Chris said something to me — I wasn’t miked or anything. He kind of bombarded me!” he shares in our exclusive celebrity interview. Still, he says that final pick Josh Murray “seems like a good guy for Andi.” When he got the call for Bachelor in Paradise, it was no surprise that he was open to the experience. “The producers approached me about it, and I figured, ‘Why not?’ I was able to take time off from the restaurant, so it worked out really well in that sense.

  • Playing Bachelor: Playboy's 1950S and 1960S Remasculinization
    Playing Bachelor: Playboy’s 1950s and 1960s Remasculinization Campaign A Research Paper Prepared By Alison Helget Presented To Professor Marquess In Partial Fulfillment for Historical Methods 379 November 06, 2019 2 Robert L. Green’s 1960 article “The Contemporary Look in Campus Classics”, adheres to manifestation of the ‘swinging bachelor’ and his movement into professionalism. A college student’s passage from a fraternal environment of higher education to the business world demands an attitude and clothing makeover. Playboy presents the ideal man employers plan to hire. However, a prideful yet optimistic bravado exemplifies these applicants otherwise unattainable without the magazine’s supervision. Presented with a new manliness, American males exhibited a wider range of talents and sensitivity towards previously feminine topics. In accordance with a stylistic, post-schoolboy decadence, the fifties and sixties questioned gender appropriation, especially the hostile restrictions of the average man.1 Masculinity shapes one’s interactions, responding to global events as an agency of social relationships. Answering the call of World War II, men rushed to the service of nationalism. The homecoming from Europe forced the transition from aggressiveness to domestic tranquility, contradicting the macho training American soldiers endured. James Gilbert explores the stereotypes imposed upon middle-class men as they evolved alongside urbanity and the alterations of manliness apparent in the public sector. However, the Cold War threatened the livelihoods of men and their patriarchal hierarchy as the exploration of gender just emerged. In Homeward Bound: American Families in the Cold War Era, Elaine Tyler May notes the emphasis on family security amidst heightened criticism and modification, clearly noting masculinity’s struggle with the intervention of femininity and socio-economic restructuring.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Cheryl McLean 323-512-3822 [email protected] Reality TV Personality Chris Harrison Partners with Seagram’s Escapes: New Flavor Seagram’s Escapes Tropical Rosé to Hit Shelves this February Rochester, NY – One of reality TV’s most beloved stars is teaming up with one of America’s ​ favorite alcoholic beverage brands, and they’re a perfect match. Reality TV host and social media giant, Chris Harrison, is expanding into the alcoholic beverage space with a brand-new Seagram’s Escapes flavor: Tropical Rosé. The rosé style drink has just 100 calories, similar to seltzers, but is packed with much more taste and made with natural passion fruit and dragon fruit flavors. Tropical Rosé clocks in at 3.2 percent alcohol-by-volume and will be available nationally in four packs of 12-ounce cans starting in February. Harrison has been fully immersed in what is his first alcohol partnership, working closely with the Seagram’s Escapes team to craft the new drink’s flavor, name and packaging. “Creating Tropical Rosé has been a really hands-on experience for me,” said Harrison. “From the very beginning, I traveled with the Seagram’s Escapes team to their flavor house in Chicago to pick just the right color and the perfect fruit flavors. After we were happy with the drink, I had the opportunity to choose the name and weigh in on everything from packaging to advertising. I’m proud of Tropical Rosé and can’t wait for everyone to finally taste it.” “We’re thrilled to have had the opportunity to partner with Chris and to share this drink with both our fans and his,” said Lisa Texido, Seagram’s Escapes brand manager.

    In the Company of Modern Men: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Nicholas D. Bambach August 2016 © 2016 Nicholas D. Bambach. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled In the Company of Modern Men: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies by NICHOLAS D. BAMBACH has been approved for the School of Film and the College of Fine Arts by Ofer Eliaz Assistant Professor of Film Elizabeth Sayrs Interim Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT BAMBACH, NICHOLAS D., M.A., August 2016, Film In the Company of Modern Men: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies Director of Thesis: Ofer Eliaz This thesis discusses the increasing visibility of masculine identity in contemporary Hollywood comedies. I examine how shifting developments in economic, societal, cultural, and gender relations impacted the perception of cinematic masculinity. The men, more specifically white and heterosexual, in these films position themselves as victims and, as a result, turn to alternative outlets to ease their frustrations and anxieties. In order to broadly survey the genre of the past two decades, I focus on three consistently popular character tropes in Hollywood comedies: slackers, office workers, and bromantic friendships. All the male characters discussed throughout the thesis are plagued by their innermost anxieties and desires that compromise their gendered identities. However, these films resort to a regressive understanding of masculinity and functions within the dominant heteronormative structures. This thesis demonstrates how Hollywood comedies present a contradictory and multifaceted image of modern masculinity.

It took a a bit of a PR campaign by Ben himself to get the big old Bachelor truck going but once it did, as usual ratings soared! While there is alot of the Bachelor still left to see this season it seems quite obvious that ABC has really sped up the pace of things this year, partly realizing that viewers attention spans are shortened; and with spoilers out there, their attention spans are even shorter. Therefore this season, by just episode 6 we already have the teasers for the final rose ceremony. So in this post we’ll break those down.

  • Bachelor Pad’ Winners Natalie Getz and David Good Dish on Love, Dating and Reality TV
    Cupid Exclusive: ‘Bachelor Pad’ Winners Natalie Getz and David Good Dish on Love, Dating and Reality TV By Krissy Dolor If you want to know the key ingredient to winning (no Sheen pun intended), look no further than last summer’s Bachelor Pad winners: Natalie Getz and David Good. Even though these two former contestants didn’t strike a love match on their respective Bachelor-franchise seasons, this dynamic duo made their mark as the first couple to win the ABC spin-off reality show, Bachelor Pad, where 19 past contestants competed for a grand prize of $250,000. Throughout the show’s run, this couple focused on making their way to the finish line. If there’s anything we can learn from watching Getz and Good, it’s that three important traits are needed to keep any relationship moving forward: loyalty, trust and friendship, which they exemplified. While most romantic couples aren’t competing for anything but each other’s hearts, these elements can have you and your partner come out winning too – whether it’s for love, marriage or happiness. Cupid had the opportunity to speak with Natalie and David about love, dating and how their lives have changed since Bachelor Pad ended. Read on to see what they had to say: 1. Did being on a reality dating show change your perceptions/expectations about dating? Natalie: Yes. It has helped me further the exploration of my youth and single life, making me ready to move on and actually commit to someone. Instead of pushing away the nice guy, now I’m ready so I will embrace him (wherever he is) with open arms and an accepting outlook towards a future.
