Valedictorian: Yashvi Patel
What advice would you give to younger students that you wish someone gave to you? Everything will work itself out. While it sounds cliché, I spent way too much time worrying about my grades and my future, constantly overthinking whether I was making the right decisions and wishing I had more guidance. Looking back, the things I stressed over rarely mattered as much as I thought they would. As long as you’re working hard and taking advantage of any and all opportunities that

Ready, Set, Vote
SAANVI LAMBA, Editor-in-Chief Voting is one of the most important responsibilities in a democracy. In the United States, citizens must be at least 18 years old to vote in federal elections. Recently, however, some lawmakers and advocacy groups have suggested lowering the voting age to 16. Supporters of the idea argue that many teenagers are already informed about politics and public policy. High school students frequently study government in history class and follow curren

Inspiring Artists with Artists
FERNANDO ALVAREZ, Staff Writer What is an artist? There are many definitions for what one can be, and not much of a definitive answer, especially with generative AI trying to make itself seem like an artistic norm. From how I see it, an artist is someone who uses their imagination and a medium to directly create something, like a musician playing the guitar, or someone knitting a little yarn doll. AI requires a prompt to then create something, and as such, it isn't a direct

Music Review: The Complexities of Our Lives
FERNANDO ALVAREZ, Staff Writer Throughout our lives, whether currently, when we're younger, or when we're older and have gone through society for a while, we always question the feelings we have, the pressures put upon us, and how to work through society and our own emotions. Despite how much we all differ, we always debate who we are and where we should go next, whether by ourselves or with others who are similar to us. These songs by Flavor Foley, whether many or few can r

The Mass Podcast: Ep. 1 - Mr. Ballard
Mr. Billy Ballard is a physical education teacher at North Brunswick Township High School, but during his high school years, he was a Division I baseball prospect. However, plans don’t always end up how we imagine them to be. When Mr. Ballard’s appendix ruptured, he not only lost the opportunity of a lifetime at the NCAA level, but he also lost a lot of motivation to find a new path.

Triple Threat on Ice
ISABELLE KLISCH, Contributing Writer With limited numbers but no shortage of passion, North Brunswick High School hockey players have hit the ice this season alongside skaters from South Brunswick and Monroe High Schools to maintain a cooperative program they hope will grow with their on-ice success. Practicing in a different town and wearing different school colors has added challenges, but it has also strengthened the bond between the players. For the North Brunswick play

SPEECH: Valedictorian, Yashvi Patel
In one of my favorite childhood films, the main character says in a desperate situation, "All one can do is the next right thing." The real ones will recognize this as Anna from Frozen II. These words were taken to heart, but a question arose: What even is the next right thing? I spent a lot of junior year trying to answer that. Second-guessing every decision, constantly overthinking whether I was on the right track, wishing I had more certainty than high school was ever goi

SPEECH: Salutatorian, Eva Patel
“WHAT KIND OF MUSIC DO YOU LISTEN TO?” I HEAR THAT QUESTION FREQUENTLY WHEN I’M TRYING TO GET TO KNOW SOMEONE, YET I NEVER KNOW HOW TO ANSWER, EVEN THOUGH ANYONE IN MY LIFE KNOWS THAT I CONSTANTLY HAVE SOME SONG PLAYING IN MY EARS. MY FAMILY DEALS WITH ME BLASTING MUSIC IN THE SHOWER EVERY NIGHT AT 10 PM, AND I THANK THEM FOR TOLERATING THAT. I ALSO THANK MY TEACHERS WHO DEALT WITH ME HAVING MY AIRPODS IN DURING CLASS OR AS I COMPLETED ASSIGNMENTS. I ESPECIALLY THANK HERR SCH
