“The Best Weekend of Your Life”

By: Janeth Terrazas Ramirez

Young life is a popular topic at Windsor High School. A handful of students participate in this after school activity which seems to bring a lot of classmates together spiritually. Young Life is dedicated to letting kids of all different ages to let God into their lives. Young Life organizes a weekend known by “Snow Camp”. It’s a couple of days that are made to have fun and forget all of your worries. Amanda Jones and Madisyn Bruen are two sophomores who participate in Young Life weekly. They had the opportunity of joining their leaders on November 14th-16th on what was one of the most “memorable” weekends of their life. Bruen says, “This weekend was my chance to hang out with some pretty rad people and strengthen my relationship with God.” Bruen started Young Life in August and plans to be a leader in college, and hopefully contribute to Young Life for the rest of her life. She was invited to Young Life by two seniors. Since then she has not stopped going and she can’t imagine herself not going to it anymore. Jones and Bruen have been close friends since their 6th grade year, Bruen encouraged Jones to join the club because it would change her perspective on life completely. Jones says, “Being around people my own age with the same views and just spending time with so many great people is my favorite part of Young Life.” She influences her close friends and peers to try and come out to the club sometime, but she also doesn’t want to pressure them because she respects their views as well.

Weather Isn’t the Only Thing Changing

The temperatures in Windsor took a rapid decline these last few weeks. The warm weather turned unbearable in a matter of a few days. The students who walk to school definitely felt how much the weather changed. Jacie Stroud and Jacey Maloney had some strong opinions over the weather changing. The weather seemed to affect them both more than what they had realized. Stroud and Maloney are sophomores at Windsor High School. Stroud walks to school in the morning and afternoon. Her parents both work in the morning through the afternoon so they are unable to give her a ride to school. Stroud believes the cold weather makes everyone around her grumpy and negative. “The temperatures are so cold that they put everyone in a bad mood”, Jacie says. Maloney on the other hand has a complete different perspective. She gets dropped off and picked up from her mom in the mornings and afternoons. Maloney thinks the freezing weather lifts peoples spirits. She enjoys the cold weather because she gets to wear hats, boots and big jackets. Maloney and Stroud do agree on one thing though. These girls dislike that the weather can cause more accidents. The snow accumulated quickly, which surely provoked at least a couple of accidents that wouldn’t have happened if the ground was clear. Stroud and Maloney both say everyone should be at least twice as careful driving in the dangerous slippery weather.

“Money Going Down the Drain”

Winter is a time for holidays,

everyone stresses and shops for days.

Walmart makes millions of dollars,

people buy their pets a couple of collards.

Everyone decides to blow their money,

when it doesn’t happen to you it’s funny.

We cook turkeys in the oven,

that day McDonald’s doesn’t get any lovin’.

That night Black Friday starts,

don’t go psycho because then you fart.

Kohl’s sells thousands of products,
