Natalie Fedor
So here in Natalie’s Advice Corner, we keep it real. So I’m not going to lie to you when I say, I submitted this article three days late. Why? Because I’m stressed out, man.

“I will never fall in love again,”
Says that one high schooler
Who has already fallen in love with ten guys in her high school life.
A flirt, giggle, conversation here and there,
Sooner or later, the first kiss comes,
Then the holding hands in the hallway,
Then the small, cute dates.
But life likes to flip tables.
You’ll see the arguments,
The fights that blow up out of proportion.
The vicious remarks, the nasty resentment,
And finally, the breakup.
And you’ll find yourself saying,
“I will never fall in love again.”
Happily Never After
Jennifer Shin

Eyes held open by tiny nails dug into the eyelids,
Screws uplifting the side of the mouth to create an authentic smile,
Hands handcuffed together, folded neatly on one’s desk.
Out eyes are forced to stay open, but our ears are shut.
Mouths are moving, but no sound is heard.
We are robots.
In compliance with the school system,
We instinctively do what is right.
Our fingers instinctively write our names on the top of the paper,
Our hands crawling, blindly searching for that notebook,
That one notebook that carries all our papers.
Our papers are filled with scribble marks and doodles-
Our high school transcripts track every move we make.
Autopilot. Instinct.
Be a good student,
Society says.
But when does it end?
Autopilot
