Students are Committing “Social Media Suicide”

Written by Cullen O’Keefe “Facebook is the devil.” Senior Dennis Wegienek was never one for understatement. But this obvious hyperbole hides an underlying truth: many Seaholm students are leaving the internet juggernaut for other social networking sites, or are opting out of online social interaction.

Seaholm’s Social Network

Written by Inwoo Hwang Twitter is a fun and quick way to express one’s opinion. It also is a very powerful and potentially dangerous tool. In fact, it could possibly get one’s college admissions revoked, and impact the way hiring companies view that person.

How to Combat Procrastination like a Professional

Written by Kathleen Dow I am going to write a great lede to this column. Eventually. It will be awesome, I promise. In the meantime, I perused People magazine fordetails on Heidi and Seal’s separation, Googled funny cat videos, cleaned all of my makeup brushes, and finally ended my night watching repeats of CSI: Miami. Why was I doing all

Commercials vs. Game?

Written by Harrison Watt When you talked to your friends last Monday, did you mention Tom Brady’s near miracle Hail Mary, or about how bad the commercials were?

Ski Team Misses Out on Season

Nobody is more upset about the mild winter than the Birmingham United Ski Team. Warm temperatures and a lack of snow have caused them to lose much of their season. The above average temperatures and far below average snow made it impossible for them to hit the slopes. It was even too warm for their home mountain, Mt. Brighton, to

Glow Dance: Would’ve Been Fun if More Showed Up

Written by Carolynn Gragg Seaholm’s new dance featuring a new location, newly enforced dress code and a policing of dance floor conduct, could have been a lot of fun – if only more people had shown up.
