When the plane lands in the Windy City in the early fall, senior Nicholas Zebrowski will have only one goal in mind: college. After an exhaustive, year-long search encompassing seven prestigious universities and almost a half million dollars worth of offered financial aid, Zebrowski knows, upon stepping on to the campus of the University of Chicago, that he has found an institution of higher learning that is worth a four year investment of his life.

The new editorial staff would like to give thanks to our mentors as we prepare for the future.

Finances are important to first-born American Deca President and Bank of America employee Lily Michalova, so it wasn’t unlike her to choose an inexpensive college.

Michalova, who will attend George Washington University in the nation’s capitol this the fall, applied to several colleges including New York University, but financially, GWU was the better fit.

Just 22 days after graduation, Megan Glancey will report to Annapolis, Maryland to start her adult life in the United States Naval Academy.
With an 80 percent male attendance rate, Glancey will be one out of roughly 270 females to be accepted.

Instead of finding a stack of pancakes or a rack of flavored maple syrup lining the booths of a traditional IHOP, Sarah Mende waits out the night in a 24/7 prayer room at an alternate IHOP (International House of Prayer) University, a higher education institute for Christians. Midnight crêpe munchies are replaced with a hearty serving of prayers. This fall, she will venture on a nontraditional semester at this Kansas City University.

Shadow, Lollipop and Betsy will be three very proud dogs when senior Amber Harris attends Brown University, an Ivy League university located in Rhode Island, in the fall.

Stemming from her early established love for animals, Harris, the valedictorian of the senior class, has chosen to pursue a major in animal physiology as she ultimately hopes to become a veterinarian.

However, Brown was not the most obvious decision for Harris when debating the college of her choice. Also in the bag were Cornell, University of Denver, University of Dallas, University of Chicago and the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia. Various factors finally broke the tie.
