Today was the last day of high school for all the seniors of the Pendleton School. To be honest, I have longed for this day for almost 4 years now but much to my surprise, I feel sad that it is all coming to an end. All the friends I have made in the past [...]

A post-grad baseball player has the ideal life; a life that anyone would ask for. They wake up every morning around 11am, head down to the cafeteria to get lunch and make their way out to the field around 1.30pm for practice. Their day concludes with an evening lifting session or for many, University of [...]

It’s here, warm weather! With warm weather, comes diki season and tanning. For guys of course it’s the beach and hitting up the lobster red. On monday, no one could move. It hurt to much too, with the sun burn. But of course, the first beach weekend is always bad. It’s the biggest tease, “Yea [...]

Never in my life have I had my hair shaved shorter than a number 4, and even that was when I was only 8 years old. So to be walking around with a head shaved at a number 1, is very strange for me. It took me a long time to decide if I should [...]

As most of you have probably noticed, there are hand sanitizer dispensers located throughout the IMG campus. But my question is, how effective are hand sanitizers? Studies have shown that using hand sanitizers have almost all of the same benefits as washing your hands, and it is a more efficient and easier method. To make [...]

I appreciate every single moment I spend at IMG. A lot of you will if you haven’t already referred it to a prison. I’m not going to argue with you there. Especially if you’ve lived on campus, IMG can be a little less than pleasant at times. However, I love this place! I have made [...]

Cafeteria food should improve in Img. The students seem to be vary unhappy with the food that is being served, starting by the fact that it is basically the same food everyday. Also, they should try and listen to how the students feel about the food and try to improve it by changing it and [...]

Apv girl should get her own go-cart for every dorm. Because waiting for the shuttle is really annoying. This year IMG academy changed and added a lot of new things. The one thing that changed the most is the dorm for the female students. According to the old students, most girls lived in main campus and CW last year and it was [...]

It is that time – the week of prom night. Everyone is getting excited and starting to get ready for this event. There are only three more weeks of IMG left, and all the seniors are going to leave forever. Finals are also coming up, and many people start stressing about it, except for the [...]

(In no particular order) 1-The food, ever since they decided to fire their old head of catering the food has, in general, gone rocketing down hill. I do not want to take all credit away from the new guy, because I am sure he is very nice, and there have been some good changes, but [...]

I know it’s a little late in the year to write this article, but there’s still time left to check out the Wellness Spa. It’s kind of become my second home at this point. I’m there at least once a week getting my nails done or my eyebrows waxed or a massage for my sore [...]

Last Monday an amazing new roommate moved in. Her family is from England and we instantly became best friends. She’s the prettiest, nicest, sweetest roommate I’ve ever had. She loves to go for walks, chew my shoes, and watch my favorite TV show with me. She can get a little high maintenance sometimes, like she doesn’t [...]

The past weekend was one of the best weekends that I had in IMG this year. It was the Grad Bash weekend, so hundreds of seniors from different high schools in Florida and other states went to Orlando to celebrate their graduation. The event was amazing! First of all, two best parks, Universal Studios and [...]

If you haven’t noticed yet, Reggie’s (the on-campus deli next to the cafeteria) is no longer called Reggie’s. It is now called Nikki B’s Bistro. And, there are other changes as well: the food is different. The food is really good if you haven’t tried it yet. I know that before, Reggie’s was overpriced and [...]

De meeste atleten die hier naar toe komen, wonen in Champions Walk. Het is een plaats zo groot dat je er minimaal een kwartier over doet om van de ingang tot gebouw 3 te lopen. En toch is het ook redelijk klein; iedereen kent elkaar, je maakt snel vrienden, en ook al leef en woon [...]

Schwer zu fassen, aber das IMG-Jahr neigt sich schon jetzt dem Ende zu. Auf der einen Seite freue ich mich wieder nach Deutschland zu dürfen, auf der anderen bin ich traurig, schließlich habe ich trotz allen Beschwerden kein schlechtes Leben in Amerika. Ich habe nette Zimmernachbarn, einen guten Coach und ein Florida-Klima, während meine Kumpels [...]

En la mejor academia de deportes del mundo, lo que nadie se podría imaginar es que haya niños de 16, 17 años encerrados en sus habitaciones todo el día jugando a World of Warcraft. Para los que no conozcan este juego online (el más jugado del mundo), el objetivo es matar animales y monstruos y [...]

I know after a long hard week of training and school all I want to do on the weekends is relax and sleep in. I feel like waking up whenever I want and not having any set plans to do anything. I just want to be really lazy. That’s all I did this weekend with [...]

Recently, I have come to discover there are 3 different kinds of friends. Ones who care and want the best for me. Ones who don’t really care. And ones who pretend to care but really just want to seem to be nice. To be honest, I only have a few real friends in my life. [...]

Irresponsibility has become extremely apparent here at IMG Academies lately. As many may know there was a huge party a few weekends ago on Valentines Day. This party got completely out of control. Supposedly there were massive amounts of alcohol at this party and it just got out of hand. I just can’t help but think about what was [...]

So I think the sign out process at IMG is absolutely ridiculous. I mean I know it’s for the “safety” of the students but after a while it gets old and annoying to do. You have to have your parents send written permission to IMG then they need to call and talk to a staff [...]

Have you ever needed to finish an assignment due for the next day and instead innocently gone to check your facebook? Next, before you know it, 2 hours have passed. That is exactly why 99% (a bit of an exaggeration) of kids at IMG don’t finish their homework. We have facebook to blame for lack of work ethic since [...]

Although living away from friends and family can be difficult there are many ways to bridge the gap. There are more forms of communication than ever before nowadays. The sheer number of ways to communicate almost makes talking on the phone old fashioned. Texting, talking, instant messaging, webcaming, and “facebooking” are among the most common ways to communicate. [...]

You never think about it, but probably about 1/3 of the average person’s life is spent asleep. So if you live to be 80 years old, you will probably have slept around 26 years of your life. That’s more time than most people will spend working their whole life. So what is actually being accomplished [...]

This cold weather that we have been having seems to have been hitting the whole world. Airports in London have been shut, now it seems like that is the case in Paris too. People are dying from illnesses they catch from their poor immune systems which is caused by their lack of heating that in [...]

Sitting in this bed drunk with weariness. I struggle to select a topic I would enjoy writing and the audience would enjoy reading. The first idea that infiltrated my mind was to shutdown and prepare a half decent excuse. Some of my companions probably will, but being the astounding student that I am, I will fight the temptation [...]
