Becoming a newspaper editor had been a dream of mine since age 15. I had no understanding of journalism, but I had my sights set on writing for a paper and eventually becoming the boss. Now, as a 17-year-old senior in high school, I’m nearing the end of my first […]
Our editor sits, crying alone, hidden in the privacy of the newsroom on an almost empty Friday morning. It was Friday, March 22. Maggie Sandefur had a particularly harsh morning and was hoping for some peace and quiet away from the world. The door to the newsroom opens and she’s […]

The drink’s default, grande-sized, hot version includes two shots of espresso, four pumps of pumpkin sauce, whipped cream, 2% milk and pumpkin spice topping.
