S’more please: Girls Scouts aren’t so dorky November 19, 2009 — by Sophia Cooper In first grade, it was the coolest thing ever. Everyone wanted to join and be a part of it, and you were uncool in the elementary schools if you weren't a member. Now, it's laughed upon and considered dorky to participate in.

Thing is, they probably get most of their market from me. read more » My veggie pride October 28, 2009 — by Arnav Dugar What do you eat for dinner when meat is off the menu? In most American households, dishes like roasted chicken and beef patty hamburgers are served daily, but not in my house. In our family, being a vegetarian is natural, and we have our own fancy dishes... wait, but don’t all vegetarians just eat salad all day long? OK, let’s back up.

There are three main variables which I took into consideration: academics, dining and diversity.

At least, that's the mentality in the Norris household. We compete to see who can guess how long the line will take before we board Space Mountain at Disneyland or who can flip to the correct hymn in church the fastest, or even who can get in the last clap during a round of applause. Throughout my childhood, this competitive impulse has led me to push myself to be just as good as Alison, my older sister by two years. read more » Will the real ‘Brian Kim’ please stand up?
