The depression, Hey Mr. Tiger the dark soulless drive, blank stares off into the distance of 8 many dreams, only to be crushed by the real world. Having the chance to interview one of the great seniors of Hurricane High School, Kelbie Dayley. When asked if she seems to be giving up on school she quickly stated YES! Kelbie says she does not even show up any more. All motivation to do a good job is gone and she just doesn't really care anymore. I also asked her to give a emoji to describe how she feels. She told me it would be the rolling eyes emoji. I also interviewed Mr. Cahoon. I asked him if he felt like seniors are giving up and he told me, that he feels some are but not all of them. “It's not that they are giving up it is that they don't work hard any- more.” I asked him to give some advice for the seniors and Mr. Cahoon advice was, “This is just the beginning not the end...at least those that are planning to go to college.” So seniors dont stop working, endure to the end. Only one more month and you will be opening the door to real life. 1 1 Student Life What is Next Aft er High School? By Clay Rowland High school has taken up almost all of our lives up until this point. We are getting to the age where it's time to move on to bigger and better things. Some of the most popular choices for things to do aft er high school include, college, mission, or work. Hopefully you aren't one of those graduates who sit at home and mooch off their parent’s hard earned cash for the next 20 years. If you decide on college, there are many options to choose from. You can stay somewhat local and go to Dixie State or SUU. College is a great choice if you are willing to spend the money and the time to commit to it. Now if you are one of the people who decides to go straight into work that's good too. Most people who do this either have a secure job that they are comfortable with and can work their way up, or it’s people who have no idea what they are doing and just try to stay busy and make an income. Whatever you pick, I'm sure you will grow to be happy and successful. Internship By Rachell Beagley Do you want to know an amazing way to get ahead start? Internships!

Lacrosse is kind of like Region 9 Girls Basketball; all of the teams are pretty even, so almost all of our games are close games. It makes our lacrosse games more interesting and fun to watch and play. This year we had three girls who tried the sport for the first time and are starters now (Amanda Carter, London Gubler, and Lily Guz- Finsta By Kelbie and Candice man).

Things on Finsta are posted on there for mainly someone to feel like they are being heard. Hav- ing a Finsta can be a fun thing, but also having a Finsta can sometimes be hurtful, inappropriate, or disrespectful. Most people limit their follow- ers and are very careful about who they let follow them. Social media is a big deal in the time that we live in and some things that people say can come across completely wrong. Sometimes venting on a social site can be helpful and thera- peutic.
