Everyone needs a little bit of drama in their life, preferably when they’re not the one in it. Drama sucks to be involved in, but it sure is entertaining to watch. That is why reality TV shows are popular, and that is why more keep getting created. I am currently on a reality-TV-show marathon, and...

“Choose your friends wisely” is a common adage, and one I can say I have proudly accomplished. My best friends mean the world to me. I would choose them to be my best friends in every lifetime. It’s common that people like to party, gossip, and lie, as well as do things that are not...

Spring fashion can be difficult, as the weather can vary from having a high of 65 degrees Fahrenheit one day and 25 degrees Fahrenheit the next. It’s always difficult to decide whether a coat is necessary in the morning, because in some cases, the weather later in the day may be more of “t-shirt...

Junior Emma Krivickas has never been one to shy away from a challenge.

As a follower of women’s figure skating for years—and as a figure skater myself—I will never forget the day in 2019, in Detroit, when 11-year-old me got to watch 13-year-old Alysa Liu land two triple axels and become the youngest winner of the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in history. My f...

Go check out Micah’s new review on The Central Trend!!!

I am only slightly exaggerating when I say that I am Conan Gray’s number one hater. If I completely ignored some of his more acoustic tracks, I could say that I hate the entirety of his synth-pop discography. I want to like his music so very desperately, but his most popular songs, with unthinkabl...

Music has profoundly influenced how I understand myself and the world around me. That connection began during my freshman year of high school. One morning, while my older sister was driving me to school, a song I had never heard before filled the car. It resonated with me right away: “Call Your Mo...

Senior Lauren Miller, even as the team captain of the soccer team, struggles with the same issue many athletes face—overthinking.
