When I was growing up, the summer months always meant that baseball would be on the television. Whether at my mom’s, dad’s, or grandparents’ house, an Atlanta Braves game on TBS would always be playing, even if people didn’t always pay attention as they did other things. It was a magical background noise that would last for months. As a huge baseball fan, I would get up every morning to read the box scores in the Daily Rocket-Miner, Casper-Star, or Rocky Mountain News to try and keep up with every team and player. I’d like to say my love for...

While I try to be as efficient as possible during the workday, there are times when I spend far too much time scrolling through social media. At this point, I can tell myself repeatedly not to spend too much online because I'm not quite sure it's excellent for one's mental health, but I still do it more than I should. With my job, I always try to keep up with Three Forks School's social media accounts. The other day, I read about and saw pictures of the senior class stopping at Lagoon for their... Full story

I’ve probably forgotten more about high school than I remember, but last week reminded me of a vivid memory from the first semester of my senior year.

While impatiently awaiting to hear more than the two songs they have released from “Dark Matter,... Full story
