Run Like a Girl and Mistreated as One Too
By Sophie Bui, Staff Writer
“Could you give us a twirl and tell us about your outfit?” was apparently the most dire question to ask Eugenie Bouchard, a Canadian tennis player after her winning match in the 2015 Australian Open.

Stolen Ideas: A Historic Misinterpretation
By Paige Robinson, Staff Photographer
This photo is of a place called Old Saint Charles in Missouri. It is a historic area where the city is preserving the old value it has. Although it is just one photo, it is significant to me, because what you are seeing was built by African Americans in the early 20th century. Today, the area is surrounded by wealthy, white people. This is a common trend we see today where African Americans built areas but are taken over by the white majority. Many beautiful things we create are taken from the original creators, and others are given the credit. I want people to be more aware of accurate history and not marginalize certain stories.
Paradise Cove: A Peaceful, Colorado Gem
By Caleigh Montoya, Staff Writer
Last weekend, I went to Paradise Cove! It was a beautiful and very quiet area, which allows for an extremely peaceful experience. This is definitely the place to visit if you are looking for somewhere to enjoy nature without it being crowded. It is a 3-hour drive from north Denver and costs 6 dollars to park for however long you want to stay. It is a moderate hike to the cove but is totally worth it once you get there! Below are some pictures I took during my experience.
