With so many languages circling around the globe it is inevitable that there would be miscommunication. However, one language is often overlooked and although it is not a spoken language it can be communicated to other people unconsciously – the art of body language. Body language can be as simple as moving your hand toward your mouth or [...]

We’re listless, languished, lackadaisical, and languorous after three and a half years of Mountlake Terrace High School. No doubt we have regrets and remorse. Maybe we should have done or not [...]
