Math homework. AP class essays. History projects. As students, we can’t help but feel fatigued from all of our homework. It follows us like storm clouds and weighs on our minds like bricks, which makes staying focused in class even harder.
A student slumps over in their school desk, weighed down by the homework from their busy class schedule.
Senior Molly Harris has been in journalism since her sophomore year. She works as the newly appointed Editorial Cartoonist―a position co-founded by journalism adviser Allison Berryhill and Harris―making her love for art a fundamental piece of her role. As Editorial Cartoonist, she picks a topic she feels needs to be addressed, letting her artistic talent and writing skills flow in unison with each cartoon. Harris favors creepy or “disturbing” works of art, a fixation that bled into one of her all-time favorite works, an editorial cartoon of the power of social media influence.Journalism serves as a way Harris expresses herself creatively, a spark to ignite her imaginative mind. She enjoys the positive energy radiating off the journalism work environment. “I really like the whole shebang of journalism,” Harris said.Outside of journalism, Harris has participated in school plays and helped direct one last year that was “essentially just a rip-off of Twilight.” At home, she loves to read, play games―especially story-driven ones―and dabble in the arts.
