The Momentary

March 13, 2020

The Momentary is sort of an offshoot of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas. The purpose of the art space is to bring together “visual and performing arts, culinary experiences, festivals, artists-in-residence, and more” (themomentary.org). I got the opportunity to go the weekend after the spa...

TAME IMPALA THE SLOW RUSH A REVIEW

March 13, 2020

I think it is fair to say that Kevin Parker’s one-man-band Tame Impala is the Pink Floyd of this generation. The total number of hours spent by 14-18 year olds crying about unrequited love and marveling at the beauty of nature whilst listening to Tame Impala is a hilariously large number. Personally, I encountered Tame Impala’s mu...

Stop Small Talk

March 13, 2020

Small talk is a necessary evil of life in our social lives. I just hate small talk. Anything about the weather, the monotony of school, or another summation of my weekend results in me feeling disinterested, disengaged, and drained. Our social life requires that we talk to people about non-essential things, which I get. We can...

The real reason har-ber isn’t as big as it was supposed to be.

March 13, 2020

It's no secret that even though Har-Ber is a giant school we lack a lot of room for staff as well as other things. Well I'm here to let you know exactly why that is. In the state of Arkansas a school district has to get approved every year for school plans or state plans for facilities. The way they are funded for school plan...

Your Vote, Your Voice

March 13, 2020

Last Tuesday, I got to cast my vote for the first time. I was ecstatic to finally participate in the democratic process, especially after having talked about it all year in my AP Government class. My mom and I went to cast our ballots at the Oak Grove Baptist church, and pretty soon I was walking out with my “I Voted” stick...

Jojo’s end draws near

March 3, 2020

Over the many years that it’s been published JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has gone through multiple parts, 8 to be exact, and I believe part 8: JoJolion is the best work to come from writer and artist Hirohiko Araki. Fans of the series may argue that the earlier parts or part 7 are the best parts. Part 3: Stardust Crusaders is t...

Tips for Valentine’s Day from a male’s perspective

SAMUEL STEPHENSON

February 4, 2020

The day of love has finally made its way back around to our doorstep. The biggest mystery of the day is the boy’s mind. Guys focus so much on getting the girls gifts, the boy’s opinion is often overlooked. Guys are a species that don’t really care about gifts, but prefer just spending time with their special someone. Guy...

DEBATE: when is too early for Christmas?

December 10, 2019

Against early Christmas Every year Christmas seems to come earlier and earlier. It seems that there are Christmas trees and displays in the store as soon as October rolls around, a good three months before the holiday. I’m no scrooge with a vendetta against Christmas, I just enjoy the other holidays that fall near the e...

“VSCO Girl Trend” rising at rapid rates

November 11, 2019

Any individual that owns any sort of social media, has heard about or is familiar with the term VSCO girl. VSCO is an app dedicated to picture editing and creativity. Like Instagram, users can follow other users and “like” their posts; in VSCO terms, “favorite posts.” When someone posts a picture that appeals to, or i...

Students should have a say in district policy making

November 11, 2019

At the beginning of the school year, I received my schedule and saw that my lunch had been cut short from the previous 45 minutes. At this I was upset and confused, and I know I wasn’t the only one who felt this way. I think I speak for the majority when I say everyone loved their long lunch breaks, so why would anyone take t...

Turskish gout, gives reasons to pout

November 11, 2019

Turkey is viewed by many as one of the most progressive Muslim countries in the world. The country was even founded on democratic principles and rights with their founder, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Since the “election” of Recep Tayyip Erdogan in 2014 however, the populous of Turkey has seen a dramatic decrease in their righ...
