The 1020 school year has been great, many people did great things throughout the year. This year we had a very interesting year book, it had a graffiti type cover that read The Pendleton School. I personally am not a fan of this years, year book. Do not get me wrong they’re were some parts [...]

One morning I woke up went to school and there was a note on the board reading that we are not allowed to have our cell phones during a test. Apparently some students (to the attention of Mr. Schwager) have been texting during tests which have different forms in conclusion it would be easier for [...]

All the time students have distraction while they are at home or in their dorms when they should be doing homework or being productive and getting work done. Television, computers, video games and cell phones are big reasons why teenagers in school do not get their work done. Because of this, students’ grades are lower than they [...]

We’re all athletes. We know eating at fast food places is not good for our bodies. Even if you are not an athlete, eating food that is bad for you, is just as bad for your body. It’s even even worse if you do not exercise. Sometimes, however, you are faced in certain circumstances where you have [...]

(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 [...]

Ok, so I know what you’re thinking. Hannah Montana: The Movie? You’ve got to be kidding me. She’s a wannabe singer who just happened to get famous because of the hit Disney Show Hannah Montana. But, you’re wrong. Hannah Montana a.k.a. Miley Cyrus is a great inspiration to many young people all over the world. The message [...]

Most of the movie reviews are about the new and upcoming movies still playing in the theatres. I think that is wonderful so that we can get advice on what to see and what not to see. But what about old movies we haven’t heard of in a while? You know the classics that everyone [...]

Almost everyone I know, or at least every female I know, is on some kind of diet. You would think at a sports academy what you eat wouldn’t be an issue because of the high level of physical activity. Well somehow the media and all of the emphasis it puts on being “in shape” (aka not [...]

I make the often mistake of trusting people too much, I also have this need to try and please everyone. I’ve realized that no one ever really cares for you, you are always alone and the only person you can trust is yourself. I know a lot of people may disagree and I used to [...]

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. [...]

The American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS) released it’s annual findings this week and in it was a surprising result: America is becoming more secular. I think this is a result of politicians and main stream media being more accepting of people who choose to live a non-religious or non-denominational religious lifestyles. For instance, in President [...]

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 [...]

Michael Phelps was recently photographed smoking pot. No offense to him or anything but what a stupid decision. I mean, he is such a talented athlete. He has made it so far, and now he is completely blowing it. I just can’t help but think that fame perhaps messes with peoples’ minds. I mean, if you think how [...]

I personally think IMG is just an very badly run business. They have hardly any, if any at all, moral integrity, and they just have no idea where to invest their money back into the business. I truly appreciate all of the coaches that work here as they get paid nothing and do an amazing [...]

I am sure everyone is already aware of the huge changes that have been going on in IMG recently-changes within the tennis department and also within the management department. I personally think that the changes are for the better of IMG and will benefit the academy in the long run. The new management are already [...]

I am so incredibly fed up with the sign out policy at IMG. I understand that they just want to keep us safe and, usually, I try to be patient. However, I just cannot comprehend why we have to sign out to take 5 steps over to the villas. Right now I am staying with some family friends [...]

As deadlines for many colleges near, the craze over where everyone is going to school next year has reached full peak. Something I really don’t like is how people go around talking about how they don’t like a certain school because of the name recognition or the reputation it has. Some people, if they’ve never [...]

I have a lot to be thankful for this holiday season. I am thankful for the opportunity my parents have given me to allow me to come to IMG Academies and I am also thankful for the teachers I have at the Pendleton School. I mean, I really hit it big with the teachers I [...]

Now I am sure everyone is aware of the tight budget that IMG is currently running on. The juices are either no longer available in the cafeteria or they are just like water, fruit is sparse, and the food is just generally pretty awful. Movie trips and mall trips on the weekend are getting limited [...]

Here is a bunch of quotes for everyone to incorporate into their own lives. We all get wrapped up in school, sports, social dramas that in the long run have no importance whatsoever and it’s important to look at our lives with objectives and fill in the holes or spaces we usually overlook. So here you are… 1. Whether you think [...]

Most people believe celebrities do not have things like Facebook, even the workers of Facebook. Though, contrary to this belief, most high profile celebrities do have one other then a fan page. This is hard to believe because when you type in a name on the search box like Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton you [...]

I just thought I would take the yoga-doing, tye-die-wearing, hippie approach to this article and comment on the smells of Pendleton and how I will remember them forever. Whenever I walk into the main building, since I only have one class there, I am reminded of that class and can hear my cute little teacher Mrs. Threlkeld asking [...]

Our Christmas holidays are meant for us to get home, relax, and take the time to see our loved ones, to be a real kid for a proximate time of 10 days. This won’t be an option when the following week when we return to school we have mid-term exams. Are we expected to study [...]

You know the really good-looking guy in the computer lab who makes the snide comments and encourages students to get out of his way when he’s busy? No? The one who calls you knucklehead and has the big muscles? Oh yeah…that guy. Well let’s get to know a little bit more about him. His name [...]
