By Georgia Wyess Times flies. You won’t believe me, but it does. Reminiscing on my first day of freshman year, the concept of a one-and-a-half hour class terrified me, teachers walked with an air of authority that intrigued me, and the two other people who I knew at school huddled with me. Senior year seemedContinue reading “Four Years Wiser”

My Principles as my own Principal
By Georgia Wyess I’ll be honest: quarantine wasn’t that bad. Yes, there were times I wished I could see my friends and go outside without having to walk in the middle of the street—safely—when I saw someone walking towards me on the sidewalk. However, when the pandemic hit, I was desperate for a break andContinue reading “My Principles as my own Principal”
Twisted Treats
By Georgia Wyess Anyone who knows me knows I love pretzels. Their salty, flavor filled taste takes me back to my days in elementary school when my grandmother, who immigrated to the United States from Germany, would serve me a warm pretzel with mustard after a long day at school. I decided to learn toContinue reading “Twisted Treats”
A Thirst For Knowledge
By Georgia Wyess Now, and throughout history, we’ve been led to believe that America is the best country in the world.

However, because of frequent exposure to this information and the seemingly endlessContinue reading “Armageddon in Slow Motion”
You’re Listening to Classical Music Wrong
By Georgia Wyess Classical music just might be the ultimatum of music. In an age where the majority of modern pop-songs revolve around the same three notes, pieces such as Claire De Lune and Requiem in D Minor are examples of pure creativity and raw emotion translated into beautiful scores; scores that move some toContinue reading “You’re Listening to Classical Music Wrong”
Allow Music to Heal Your Soul
By Georgia Wyess I get it. When the pandemic first hit I too grew elated due to the school shutdown. Two weeks. That’s all it was supposed to be. Then when the two weeks turned into two more months and online school became available, I still enjoyed the flexibility working from home provided. “This isContinue reading “Allow Music to Heal Your Soul”
