Dear Justin and Candice

 Dear Justin and Candice:

   I have a big problem right now.  I’m a senior and my girlfriend is a junior.  I’ll be going off to college pretty far away next year, and my girlfriend is obviously staying around here. I think that I should break up with her, but I still like her a lot.  What should I do?
From,
What to do?

Dear What:

   I don’t know how to put this lightly, but dump her. This happens to a lot of high school couples, and it seldom ends up good.  Besides, you’ll be going to college.  You’re not going to want to have a high school girlfriend around all of those college ladies. It just wouldn’t be right. So, do the right thing and right before you leave for school this summer, tell her you don’t want to have a long distance relationship. It will be a lot easier for the both of you.
From,
Justin

 Dear To Do:

  I want you to relax. This kind of situation happens to several people and is not an abnormal fear. You need to take a few steps back and examine your relationship. How important is this girl to you? Can you see yourself staying with her through college?  You might also want to look at how far away your college is from home. If you know that she is the one for you, stay in the relationship. But, if you decide to break it off with her, do it gently and let her know you want to remain friends. There are plenty of fish in the sea.
Hope it works out!
Candice

The New Craze of Madness Sweeps The Nation

Alice In Wonderland   You would have to be as mad as a hatter to pass up seeing this amazing 3-D movie. Alice in Wonderland has overtaken the nation with its madness and courage. Filmed by Tim Burton, this flick is based off the books Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. There are many films based off of these two books, but the one we’re focusing on is the most previous film, which is about a 19-year-old Alice returning to Wonderland for more adventures.
   When Mia Wasikowska took the silver screen as Alice, she glowed like a shining star. Her acting was outstanding, and it seems that it was a breakout role for her. But of course Johnny Depp is never far behind in ratings. With all of the movies that he’s done, Alice in Wonderland definitely proves his diversity in his acting career. Continue Reading

   Just when I was starting to think West Central drama couldn’t get any better—more funny, more graceful, more entertaining—I discovered I was wrong. The drama department’s Saturday night presentation of The Wedding Singer was solid proof.

   Last year’s spring musical, Grease, stunned the school and the community, leaving everyone wanting more. On Saturday lines of eager fans started to build before the auditorium doors were opened. Expectations were high this year, and based on the thundering approval of the enchanted audience, they were met with brilliance. The crowd was left speechless, but the same thing was running through all of our minds: “You guys are good!” Continue Reading

Remember Me is Unforgettable

    Allen Coulter’s new film Remember Me is very shocking and touching to the public. Fans flooded the theatres on March 12, 2010, to see the Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson take the stage as Tyler, a rebellious college student in New York City. Of course, he wasn’t the only person fans were dying to see. Ally Craig, played by Emilie de Ravin, chugs through life after witnessing her mother being murdered. The romantic drama is centered on the two lovers and their struggles with their pasts and the present.

   Movie-goers loved to comment on the amazing flick. A current junior at Brandon Valley said, “This movie actually almost made me cry. It’s pretty touching, and it’s a movie I’ll never forget.” A high school student also said, “I haven’t seen Remember Me yet, but I’m dying to see it. It looks really good and I hear it’s pretty amazing.” All of the movie-goers that commented said that the movie was very easy to follow and that the actors portrayed the characters very well.

   In my opinion, the acting and the story of Remember Me combine to create an amazing film. Pattinson threw away his vampire role and transformed smoothly to his new character’s role. It shows that he can be diverse in his acting, and I think it’s one of the breakout roles of his career. De Ravin also portrayed her character very well. She’s a new face in show business and her acting is phenomenal. The moral of the story in Remember Me is to be happy with your life and remember the memories, because you can lose them forever if you don’t.
