Opinion
Three hours of AP testing plus the extra thirty minutes spent bubbling in personal information leaves students' brains decimated. After what feels like millions of multiple choice questions and one too many frustrating essays, it's hard to endure much more academic work. Several local schools are recognizing this and have created an excused absence policy for students taking AP exams.

It's hard for me to not become nostalgic as my high school career ends and a new chapter in my life begins. The education and extracurriculars I've been a part of have allowed me to make life-long friends, and I've forged close bonds with several teachers who I know I'll always keep in touch with. It is because of my deep appreciation for the school that I must point out a severe deficiency in our community.

Life
In most students' ideal world, essays write themselves, sleep deprivation doesn't exist and the words "assigned reading" aren't eternally linked to English class. Students have discovered a solution to these real world issues, sort` of. When students find themselves at their computers late at night, with pages and pages of an essay to write, they often turn to "Sparknotes.com" and other online study guides for literary analysis, a solution that English teachers don't always favor.

After prom ends and graduation has come and gone, many seniors head for their final rite-of-passage before entering college: Beach Week.

Black & White Online takes a look at this summer's five most anticipated movies.

After 94 episodes of head-over-heels romance, devastating heartbreak and countless couture outfits paired with the most glamorous pairs of shoes ever to grace Manhattan's sidewalks, many viewers were severely depressed when HBO's television series Sex and the City aired its finale four years ago. However, much to the pleasure of the series' die-hard fans, the show's four inseparable companions Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Samantha (Kim Cattrall) made their way to the silver screen for one last time.
