I asked many guys if their older siblings had some sort of influence on rather they hangout with girls or guys, and a major majority stated that they felt it didn’t matter rather they had an older sister or an older brother, or even both. They still have about an equal amount of female and male friends. This might be silly but it’s brought realization that older siblings influence younger siblings more then they tend to know.

Thursday, May 28th BHS will be holding a Silent Slump Bowl Auction along with the Art Show followed by the Choir Concert. The silent auction will be taking place from 6:30-7:10pm. Featured in auction is a wide range of variety. They are all personal works of art! Several students got the great opportunity to work with Discovery Elementary School students in creating slump bowls that will also be up for bidding. The highest bid takes the bowl home. All proceeds will go to VSA Arts of MN that is a non-profit group that promotes the arts for individuals with disabilities. Holtz stated ” I’ve been doing the slump bowl auction/ art show for about 18 years. Its going to be a great night!” Posters are hung all around BHS hallways and ceramic students have handouts if you interested! Everyone is welcome. Come check out the art show and place bids on the ceramic slump bowls.

Monday mornings are hard for almost everyone. Having to awake from a nice weekend and go to school is not always your first priority.

“The way I dress depends on the day of the week,” said Sophomore Marissa Fox. “The beginning of the week are lazy days, but Thursdays and Fridays I actually try!”

Starting on those dreadful Monday mornings and ending on those awesome Fridays make all the difference in the world.

“I wake up, and whatever I put on is what I wear to school,” said Sophomore Sterling Hollie.

Everyone has personal preferences, and some do not care what they wear or what day of the week it is.

“It doesn’t matter what day of the week it is, my outfit is sweatpants and sweatshirts, being at school all day I make sure that i will be comfy,” said Senior Jaime Floer. 

“Music makes me block out all of the haters,” said Junior Mia Janke “It helps me focus and do what I need to do.”

Students don’t see it as a problem, but certain teachers on the other hand have a different perspective.

“We are not at a Justin Bieber concert,” said Social Studies Teacher Mrs. Khalil. “You don’t need to be wired up in school. It is time to focus here.”

For instance, some teachers believe that music can increase students ability to focus. They do not see an issue regarding headphones during work time.

“I don’t want to be the phone/headphone police,” said Science Teacher Mrs. Rodenwald. “During independent work time I have no issue with kids listening to their own music, as long as they are working hard.”

“Procrastination is so easy, I just wrote an essay that got assigned like a month ago,” said Junior Emily Torgerson.

Procrastination is most commonly found among teenagers, but can be a lifelong habit.

“I procrastinate more often then I probably should. It brings in a whole new factor, and actually causes me to do more work, deadlines happen, and other priorities have to come first and it just makes keeping on top of things not so easy,” said Deb (Optum Health Director.)

Meeting deadlines might not be easy, but procrastination won’t make it any easier.

“Putting things off sounds like the easier route, but really in the end I only become more stressed out,” said Sophomore Cassie Whited 

Do it now. Sometimes ‘later’ becomes ‘never.’
