When you think about the world nowadays, there are a lot of things that help people out and make everyone happy. But when you think about the world’s people there are not many that would come to mind. No one is good at being nice anymore and not a lot of people have the right mindset to do good things and treat people equally. Social experiments are used more and more, with channels on Youtube dedicated just for them.
They give you an insight of how random people everywhere treat others and we can witness it. After the attack on Paris, a social experiment was performed...

Four years of high school can be a chaotic experience for a lot of students. There are tests to study for, homework to finish, and, along with this, many students want to be involved by joining sports or clubs. At RHS, there is a large variety of clubs and sports that the students can join, but these clubs and sports require a lot out of their members, which could lead to a lot of stress for these students, since they have to worry about their school work as well.
There are some students who have been able to try different ways of balancing sports, clubs, and school...

Dust off your notebooks, typewriters and keyboards all you prospective writers, because National Writing Month is in full swing. National Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo ) is a chance for authors both young and old from around the world to challenge and showcase their craft for prizes and publicity.
Founded by Chris Baty in 1999, the goal of NaNoWriMo is to write a novel of at least 50,000 words by Nov 30. Why such an arbitrary number? Because it has been proven that while 50,000 is an intimidating number, it is not by any means an impossible goal, for those who are passionate...

All holidays come with an opportunity to get creative with decorations and food choices, but Thanksgiving can be particularly exciting because it typically includes a traditional meal with foods that we all know and love.
Some families choose to put a clever twist on their dessert and create cupcakes that actually look like the Thanksgiving meal. Believe it or not, it is fairly easy to decorate cupcakes individually to look like mashed potatoes, pies, cooked vegetables, and even stuffed turkeys. Why not post pictures of adorable cupcake creations on Twitter?

My name is Fatimah Odeh, and I am a 17 year old senior here at RHS. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, and moved to Michigan my sophomore year of high school. New York is diverse and full of different people. Throughout my entire school career, I have been on various teams: basketball, soccer, volleyball, and track. I have competed in spoken word poetry, and karate tournaments. Moving to Roseville has been an interesting experience. I was very excited to attend this high school, even though I quickly learned that there weren’t many other students that were like...

It is officially fall. We commemorate our old friend, summer, and parade into the new season, fall. As much as the sun warmed us this summer, it is now time for day-time savings and other fall related activities. Even though some loathe seeing school start and summer end, there are a couple good reasons to look forward to the new season.
Pumpkin spice
Okay, this may be a little stereotypical, but pumpkin spice. If you ever walked into a coffee shop in fall, you have probably already smelled this heavenly creation. It is absolutely everywhere! Even though some ...

The NFL’s Detroit Lions are a historic, or lack-thereof, franchise with no championship appearance since the 1950s. This means that since the NFL renamed its title game, The Super Bowl, the Lions have never even made a cameo. Fast forward to the new decade of the 2010s and the supposed new age for football in Detroit, where the Lions made it to their first playoff game since Barry Sanders was in uniform. They had ten wins in 2011 when just three years prior, they had none. Despite making it, they got destroyed by the recent champion, New Orleans Saints. For the next two...

There are a total of 25 superhero movies between May 2015 and Dec. 2020 that will show everyone how great it is to be a comic book nerd. For starters, there is a little film you may have heard of called Avengers: Age of Ultron. Many are predicting this movie to bank over 200 million dollars in its opening much like its predecessor, The Avengers (2012). Why? Because Marvel Studios, which produces this film and others related to it like Iron Man (2008) and Thor (2011), has a track record of making good movies for all audiences.
If you are a movie fan or comic book nerd, you should be super excited, no pun intended, for the upcoming Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. DC Comics and Warner Brothers have followed in Marvel’s footsteps and have launched their own “Cinematic Universe” in which ...

This summer has many great projects set to release that a $200 million dollar movie should not be considered a blockbuster. Instead, a $500 million movie should now be the minimum. Do not believe me? Look at Furious 7. In its first two weekends it has hit $250 million at the box office and that is just a mindless popcorn movie. So let us check out what this summer has in store for us. Disclaimer, not all of the movies will be covered; just the ones that have created buzz since the announcement of their release dates.

There is no debate in the fact that society will always play a major role in everyone’s life. It affects everything from our appearance and social status, to how we perceive others. Society helps us decide who we will become in our future and what is most important.
Although everyone practically lives with these ideas society places into our heads, is its impact in our lives really positive, or are we feeding our minds with poison? Are we judging people off of their hearts, or because they look and dress like that famous model everyone else adores? Society has pushed us passed the point of having respect for ourselves and others, and has fed us a scenario that we should say and do anything to become a certain way.
There is absolutely no victim. It is your choice to either...
