With college quickly approaching, I have been taking time to look back to my freshman year. I can still remember the first day of freshman year, wondering what kind of new people I would meet. I already knew that I wouldn’t be seeing many of my friends...

Being the scrawny freshman that I was, I can’t say I walked into East on my first day of school filled with confidence. I did not expect to accomplish anything spectacular or make much of an impact. However, as I progressed through my four years, I...

Looking back on these past four years at East, I’ve realized how much things have changed. The freshman version of myself was a completely different person than who I am today. Freshman year was probably my most awkward year at East, simply because...

The alarm rings. Roll over. It's 6:35. Get out of bed. Yawn. Take shower. Get dressed. Dry off. Brush teeth. Put in right contact. Put in left contact. Comb hair. Eat breakfast. Put on Nikes.  And this is just the first half of my morning. The whole...

With over 2,000 kids, Cherry Hill East has a very large, diverse student body. Such a diverse community has a myriad of different interests and perspectives and that’s what makes it fun getting to know people. East has a club for just about anything...

Everybody takes a different path through high school.  However, all Cherry Hill East students can proudly hold their heads up high and state “I survived several all-nighters to finish my english essays, I overcame the harsh classroom tundra and monsoon...

Some people love playing sports while others like chess, but my passion lies in music and the arts.  Believe me, high school has taught me a lot inside the classroom, but for me, school truly begins when the bell rings at 2:30.  Never in my wildest...

It would be an understatement to say that I was nervous when I first stepped foot into Cherry Hill East as an incoming freshman. I was simply petrified. As soon as I walked through the student entrance, I automatically searched for familiar faces of people...

East has been my home away from home for the past four years, mainly because I am so involved in our theatre department.  I have participated in every lab theatre, main stage and one act since my freshman year.  I haven’t only acted in these shows,...

When I came to East at the middle of my freshman year, I had no idea what was in store for me.  I didn’t know a single person and had no idea what to expect.  After four years of personal growth and fond friendships, I cherish the memories of late...

Spirit Week at East can be described in one word: stressful. There's always that one guy that forgets the moves to "Magic", while the girl on your left pesters you teach her the moves to Shiny Teeth and Me. Then there are the choreographers yelling over...

Have you seen the movie Rubber (2010)?  Don’t let your thoughts go astray here please, because I do have a legitimate point.  Anyway, the movie, which depicts a homicidal car tire’s destructive rampage during which it murders innocent people via...

What? I have to leave East this June?  There isn’t any “13th grade”?  When did the end of my high school creep up on me?  How did this happen? Thinking over everything, I realize that between that first day walking into East back in the...

Thanks to the almost punitive size of my small locker, I was forced to carry all my essentials with me in my backpack. I have band-aids, scissors, tissues, multiple pencils, pens, highlighters, a planner, my phone (yes, turned off, duh!), my panda flash...
