The Hunger Games Part 1: Mockingjay receives mixed reviews

The Hunger Games Part 1: Mockingjay receives mixed reviews

Jada Boprie, Feature Editor January 23, 2015
For anyone who hasn’t read the books: the entire Hunger Games trilogy is depressing. It’s about death, oppression, and romance that is doomed to fail. But it’s also an incredible story. The problem is that most people loved the first film, tolerated the second, and are now unfairly bashing the third; The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1. By Jada Boprie

Musings from the front row

Musings from the front row

Kyra Moen, Staff Writer November 17, 2014
Recently, I was fortunate enough to be able to attend a concert for the indie pop band, The 1975. Admittedly, this was not my first time going to see this band in concert, (and most likely not my last), it was an experience that easily topped the first concert of theirs I attended.
