December 11, 2018
Ever had a teacher you looked up to? A person you wanted to be like? Or had a teacher that has left an impact? For Mr. Kelly, he found his career through one of his own teachers. If you haven’t ever met Mr. Kelly, he is one of Broomfield’s most wonderful science teachers. He teaches Advanced Anatomy, An...
Stop the Procrastination!
Annabelle Lingbeck, Staff Writer
November 27, 2018
We’ve all done it. Came home from school, taken a nap, maybe watched some Netflix, and before you know it, it’s eight o’clock and absolutely no homework has gotten done. I know that feeling very well, and as a Junior with enough homework to drive me absolutely nuts, procrastination is probably the...
Cold-Blooded

November 15, 2018
There I was, reading the Cosmopolitan Snapchat story (probably checking my horoscope, I’m such a Scorpio), when I came across an article on cold showers. Being the guy who takes piping hot showers for hours on end, I was intrigued with the idea. Cold showers only feel good to me after a long run or ...
The Struggles of Homework
Andy Johnson, Staff Writer
November 8, 2018
“I don’t want to do my homework. I’m just gonna watch TV,” is something I tell myself far too often. Homework, despite what some people may think, can actually be beneficial to students. It is extremely effective at building the habit of time management, as well as problem solving and producti...
Love Notes

November 8, 2018
Last week, I decided to do a challenge: text two friends a day telling them why I love them and texting myself one thing that I love about myself. Seems pretty easy, right? Choose ten friends, write a paragraph about how much you appreciate them, then say how much you love yourself. It’s not as si...
Too Old For Dress-Up?
Mia Gallegos, Staff Writer
October 29, 2018
The main event of October is Halloween. You choose whatever or whoever you want to be for one night. Venturing out into your neighborhood to show off your costume can be the highlight of your night. But the decision of what to dress up as gets harder and harder as you get older. Once you reach a cer...
Don’t Worry, Be Healthy
Ana Cole, Staff Writer
October 16, 2018
We all know that teenagers are usually stressed and busy. When we’re always on the go, we don’t have time to eat a healthy breakfast or pack a nutritious lunch. When we don’t eat well, it makes it hard to focus and be in a good mood all day. This is something that I really struggle with. This pa...
Homecoming- Expectations vs. Reality
Ana Cole, Staff Writer
October 5, 2018
Homecoming is not how it’s seen in the movies. It may seem like this wonderful night where you take a limo to a fancy restaurant, or you and your crush fall in love, but it’s not all laughs and fun. These are some of the expectations that most people hope to experience at homecoming. EXPECTATIONS:...
4-Peat.

October 2, 2018
Well seniors… we did it. After a week filled with stress, strength, and spirit we have pulled off one of the greatest feats Broomfield High has ever seen—a clean sweep of homecoming. That’s right. Back-to-back-to-back-to-back. But it’s not like it was handed to us. There’s a reason why ...
PSL: Plethora of Sugar Latte

It’s fall, which means sweaters, Halloween, and everyone’s favorite seasonal drink, a Pumpkin Spice Latte. Personally, they taste like fall flavored dirt, but America loves them. I’m sure almost all of us have posted a picture on social media at some point in our lives with a sugary drink and som...
Oh $#!%

Have you ever taken a second to think how much you swear in a day? Before this challenge I never realized how much I actually swear. Sorry mom. I took on the challenge to not swear for an entire week, and let me say, it did not go well. I failed on the first day. I told myself, this is easy, all y...
Cough Drops or Candy?

September 20, 2018
It is about that time of year again...flu season. During the Fall and Winter months, the flu and other viruses spike. Medicine aisles are flooded with people hoping to find a cure that won’t make them feel more sick. Although many companies have tried to mask the awful taste of many cough syrups and ...
