Holding out for a hero

Aaron Park June 1, 2018

Thank you, Zombieland. For the less educated among you, Ruben Fleischer’s 2009 zombie-apocalypse comedy is the greatest film of the modern era. In Zombieland, Jesse Eisenberg plays a character who’s...

Sarah Lee June 1, 2018

In Episode 116 of "The Simpsons," new financial stresses force Homer Simpson to return to work at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant under his greedy boss, Mr. Burns. Upon Homer’s return, Burns installs...

Losing teeth, gaining wisdom

Claire Keller June 1, 2018

With two bottles of prescription pain medication and a half pint of ice cream by my side, I held an ice pack to my swollen face as I struggled to decide what my last column for The Chronicle would be about. I...

Making small talk, memories

Kristin Kuwada June 1, 2018

More than just paper clips

Home is wherever I’m with you

Noa Schwartz June 1, 2018

I got home from my first day at Harvard-Westlake and immediately rushed to my room to document the moment with Photo Booth selfies. Clearly, I was, and still am, an absolute dork. In that moment, my confidence...

Don’t make me leave!

Danielle Spitz June 1, 2018

Meet me in the bathroom stall (I deserve it all)

Maddy Daum June 1, 2018
