If you have ever been the new kid at school you would be familiar with the uneasy feeling of trying to find somewhere to sit at lunch, getting lost trying to locate your English class, and the daunting task of making new friends. Now imagine being a new student in the 2020-2021 school year. The transition...

I have never drank a cup of coffee. I am an avid (decaf) tea person who enjoys the occasional chai latte or hot chocolate, but never coffee. Between witnessing my family’s persistent addiction to coffee, my allergy to dairy, the possibility of coffee staining my teeth, and knowing that caffeine is...
