6. Disney Channel has Become a Disaster! When we were all little, we loved to watch Disney Channel. It had quality shows like Hannah Montana, Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and Wizards of Waverly Place. Now however, those shows have stopped filming, Miley Cyrus is getting married, Dylan and Cole Sprouse are 20 years old, and Selena Gomez is STILL dating Justin Bieber. So with that generation of Disney being gone, a new generation has emerged from nowhere. If you ever turn to Disney Channel now, you see terrible acting by what looks like 10 year olds. Look at “Jessie” for example. I will admit that Debby Ryan is a pretty good actress, but the rest of the people on the show are literally like 10 years old and can barely act. Then take a look at “Good Luck Charlie”, I personally used to like this show but the plot has become so annoying that I kind of have a love/hate relationship with the show now. Why did the mom even have another baby?! It’s called “Good Luck Charlie” because Charlie’s supposed to be the baby! Not whatever the other baby’s name is. Obviously Disney Channel is just trying to extend the show for a longer period of time since Charlie is growing up. So I realize that this article is kind of stupid but I just feel strongly about how like the next generation’s TV is going to be terrible for little kids. CALI SATURN

Genetics Pick-Up Lines • I wish I was DNA helicase so I could unzip your genes • If you were thymine and I was adenine, I’d bond to you • Hey baby, why don't you get your ligase working on my okazaki • fragment and lengthen my strand • Let’s join together like a condensation reaction • I think the stop codon in your beautiful gene is missing • We fit together like the sticky ends of recombinant DNA. • Why don’t we get together and form a zygote • Can I be your enzyme? because my active site is dying for a chemical reaction • If you were a concentration gradient I'd go down on you • You must be the one for me, since my selectively permeable • membrane let you through • Aviva Braier

8. STOP CLOWNING AROUND ROSALIE! I went to field of screams on a group date!! We decided to do the trail. My sisters best friend was working there and she knew I was coming. She knows I am really scared of clowns she told me she was in the trail as vampire or something. So we got to the clown section and all the clowns gathered around. It was my sisters friend and all the clowns she told them to sing ring around the Rosie they let all my friends go but me they sang it about 20 times I was so scared I peed my pants when I came out I was crying and embraced incase there was a wet spot. That is one of the many embarrassing stories about me, but the number one scariest moment I have ever been through! ROSALIE FRIEDMAN
