What Does Hugh Jackman Have To Do With the Olympics?
The other day during school, I went up to my friends and exclaimed, “Yu-Na Kim was pretty awesome last night!” I was met with an awkward silence and a timid, “What?” How do kids my age feel about the Olympics? Personally, I love watching them. They inspire me to work hard for the things I [...]
Miss Lori asks The CAMPUS Kids what Black History Month means in school
February is Black history month, but it hasn’t always been that way. Black history month actually started as a week by carter G. Woodson in 1926. Then it was known as Negro History Week. In 1976, as a part of the 200th anniversary of this country, Negro History Week was elongated and renamed Black History [...]
A Day at the Chicago Auto Show
The latest buzz in Chicago is surrounding the Auto Show. What’s new? What’s cool? What’s really the BEST? Really, all the companies are fighting tooth and nail to try and get our parents’ business. With everything from bright, showy colors to unique designs, all dealers show off the best of their best. But, they all [...]
Getting Involved
There is a satisfaction I get when stepping out of my comfort zone. I no longer am doing something for myself, or even for my friends, but rather for the people in my community whom I don’t even know.
Sexting: Does the punishment fit the crime?
Have you ever done something so embarrassing that you cringe at the mere memory of it? I have, and I’m sure that everyone has had a slip-up in judgment at least once in their life. Two weeks ago, two middle school students in Indiana were found exchanging nude pictures of themselves via cell phone. They [...]
Future Cooks of the Universe
I walked into consumer science (cooking class) to find everyone neatly in their seats and ready to make that day’s recipe. ”Why are all of you so quiet?” I asked, still slightly in shock. ”We have to be quiet so we can make the caramel rolls faster!” one of my classmate’s exclaimed. I sat down [...]
Avatar Sets a High Bar
Everyone’s talking about one movie right now – James Cameron’s Avatar. It’s only been in theaters for a couple of months but it’s already broken the money-making record of Titanic, another Cameron film. Avatar is a movie like nothing before it. It’s already won Golden Globe awards for Best Director and Best Drama/Action. People are still [...]
Dear Parents,
To all the parents who are out there: No offense but there is something you do that irks me to the extreme! I am writing from experience. When my parents tell me to do a chore, I do it. No big deal. But often, while I’m doing the chore that THEY asked me to do, [...]
The New Scrubs Season
Scrubs has always been one of my favorite TV series. However, the current ninth season is not like the others. In this season, JD is now married to Elliot and they are expecting a baby. Also, this new season no longer focuses on Dr. Dorian (JD) but rather on the new med students whom the [...]
Where’s Our Peaceful Paradise?
Believe it or not, people my age get really stressed! School, chores, plus sports practices and all kinds of activities every week. It would be nice to kickback and relax. Adults go to spas all the time but there are no spas for people under 16. It really stinks that at most spas and resorts, the [...]
