Upperclassmen Prepare for the Road Ahead with FAFSA

BY HANNAH STONEOPINIONS EDITOR

FAFSA stands for Free Application for Feder-

al Student Aid; it gives you access to the largest source of financial aid to pay for college or career school. The first FAFSA meeting, of this year, was held in the cafeteria on Oct. 10. Stu-dents, mostly juniors and seniors, went to get help from their own West High counselors. The counsel-ors answered questions, consulted parents, and helped all the students with ideas for their FAF-SA applications. Jill Reus-chel, one of the counselors expressed, “The FAFSA is an important part of the college-going process and, in Tennessee, students are required to complete the FAFSA to be eligible for state aid. Additionally, stu-dents who complete the FAFSA are more likely to enroll in college. In order to gain access to the pro-grams such as Tennessee Promise (two-year free tuition to a community college or TCAT), HOPE Lottery Scholarship, PELL Grant, Tennessee Stu-dent Assistance Award and many others, you must first file the FAFSA.”   A student must complete and submit the FAFSA to be considered for federal students aid.

Completing the FAFSA should be an easy and free process. There are po-tential scams on FAFSA websites with the domain “.com”, so if a student de-cides to apply online they are advised to use FAFSA on the Web. If an early estimate of aid is wanted, before an actual FAFSA is completed, another web-site is FAFSA.ed.gov. If more help or information is needed, StudentAid.gov/fafsa is a great website to visit, and the FAFSA can be filled out at fafsa.gov. FAFSA applica-tions can be filled out as early as Oct. 1, and are due by Jan. 17 if a stu-dent is applying for Ten-nessee Promise. If they are not applying for The Tennessee promise, ap-plications are due by June 30, 2018. After filling out the FAFSA for the first time, a student will need to fill it out again every year, since the aid does not carry over each year. The earlier the FAFSA is filled the more aids are avail-able at the certain schools of your choice, because certain aids “run out.” One of the main questions the students and parents have about the FAFSA is “why?” “Why should I fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid?” The answer

is simple; completing and submitting the FAFSA is free and quick, and it gives one access to the largest source of financial aid to pay for college. Anoth-er question commonly asked is, “What happens after I fill out and submit the FAFSA?” First, a stu-dent will be sent a Student Aid Report (SAR) to their e-mail within three to five days of submission. If the application is complete, an Expected Family Con-tribution (EFC) will dis-play on the SAR. This is a measure of someone’s family’s financial strength and is calculated accord-ing to a formula established by law. Colleges use the EFC to determine the amount of federal grants, work-study, and loans for which one may be eligi-ble. Also, schools will use this to determine some-one’s financial aid award. If there are any questions about the FAF-SA, West High school’s counselors are willing and happy to help with any problems. The coun-selors encourage students to ask and learn more about the FAFSA appli-cation process. Reuschel conveys, “While the task may seem daunting, we are prepared to help with any questions you may have.”

Self Help Guide for Students

High school is one of the most

memorable parts of ones teenage years. Not only is it an im-portant time to shape oune’s future, its also a big part of ones teenage years. Hav-ing a memorable high school expe-rience is important for any student and here are some tips to make it a bit better: How to over-come the fear of au-thority: Initiating a conversation with a principal or teacher can be nerve racking ,especially for a fresh-man, coming to a new school with new people to get accus-tomed to. Speaking to ones superiors and

BY LESLIE RODRIGUEZSTAFF WRITER

maintaining a friend-ly relationship with them can aid in mak-ing ones time at school more enjoyable. Approaching a principal is not as hard as it seems, especially if they are as amiable as the ones at Morris-town West. In order to approach them, all that is needed is an introduction. By in-troducing oneself, one can leave a positive impression on them. Then, continue by ask-ing questions about the school and class-es one has. Holding the conversation will then come naturally. When ap-proaching a teacher the same method is used . There is nothing to be nervous about. Teachers are there to answer any question that one might have.

How to main-tain good grades: Maintaining good grades is one of the most important things to do while in school. It is also a hard task to complete. When one does not even know how to study, it can become tedious. Learning how to study and use time efficient-ly is a must learn task for anyone in school. Learning these two simple things can go a long way regard-ing ones education. Studying, one of the most dreaded things by any teenag-er. However, it is also the most beneficial skill to learn. This task can be made fun when doing it with friends. Going out to the Waffle House, the park, or simply a friends kitchen count-

er can improve ones mood towards study-ing. Once the place is established it is time to get down to business. Having highlighters and index-cards can aid in understanding the material. Using highlighters to color code ones notes helps keep oneorganized. Using index-cards not only provides a more simple way to write down import-ant information it also makes learning fun. Organizing ones notes and binders can help keep one’s thoughts organized as well. It is always a good idea to study everyday. Even if it seems like the mate-rial is simple enough to understand, it nev-er hurts to review one more time. It can also help in letting

one remember the information better. Ten to fifteen min-utes of studying can go a long way when it comes to grades. How to make friends: When mak-ing new friends one must be selective of who one chooses. Choosing the right crowd and the right people can determine how ones school life goes. “You are the company you keep.” And others view one in the same manner as his or her friends. Whether one is in the “popular” crowd or not is not what is im-portant in the long run. What is import-ant is that the people care about and sup-port one’s choices. Approaching other students is the first step to making

friends. It is also very easy to do. One can approach at lunch, in the classroom and even in the hallway. One might see some-one who has a t-shirt of one’s favorite band, that person could potentially be a new friend. Conversa-tion starters can be as easy as this. Anything can start a conversa-tion and the worse that could happen is that person ignoring one, if that happens, there are always more people to befriend. School is not as scary as it seems, though it can be nerve racking at times. The important thing is that it becomes enjoyable and memorable. Also that one is success-ful enough to contin-ue ones education, if that is ones goal.

DIY Galaxy SlimeBY DIAMOND DANIELS STAFF WRITER

What one will need: Three separate bowls, three bottles of clear Elmer’s glue, liquid starch, watercol-

ors, lots of glitter and contact solution or borax.

Step One: Pour each bottle of glue into a separate bowl.

Step Two: Mix in glitter staying true to the color of slime you are making in each bowl.

Step Three: Mix in watercolors staying true to the shade of glitter and overall color of the slime. In the model the colors chose

were light purple blue, and light pink.

Step Four: Mix all three colors of slime togeth-er, but be careful to not mix them too much to where it all becomes one color, or one can place

each color the way to want it to look.

Step Five: Place finished slime into a container of choice, but make sure one have a lid or some-thing that seals or the slime might dry out after

a few days.

Apple Revolutionizes IOS

Apple has added a lot of new fea-

tures to their software. They have improved several aspects of the iPhone with better maps, adding new fea-tures to Siri, improv-ing iMessage with new capabilities, also add-ing a new notifications layout including the “pull-up bar”, smart-er typing suggestions, and they have added better connections between devices. 3D touch has changed a lot of ways certain apps work, which works with the force one uses to press certain icons. For ex-ample, the torch icon lets one change the brightness, the tim-er pops up a shortcut with common timer lengths, and the cam-era icon lets one go di-

rectly to video or selfie mode. Also in photos one can now drag his or her finger for multi-ple photos to be select-ed when making a fold-er or deleting photos. Apple maps are getting smarter. They know when some-one is driving, auto-matically dropping a pin where one has left his or her vehicle. They can help you find a misplaced ap-ple watch by giving

you an option for it to make a loud sound to reveal its location, or place it into “lost mode” which displays a message of choice. Siri got a ma-jor update. One can tell Siri “take a selfie” and, if someone has chosen a female voice, will open the camera and say, “Get ready for your close-up”, then proceed to take a selfie. Siri can also control third party

apps. One can now use Siri to book an Uber, and Siri is most likely to get more supporting apps in future updates. The most im-pressive thing Siri gained is the ability to announce who is calling a phone so you can know right away to pick up or not. One can enable this when he or she goes to set-tings, tap phone then tap announce calls to enable this feature.

iMessage also got an impressive advance. One can now draw pictures and send animations by clicking a heart shaped icon contain-ing two fingers. One can turn the rotational lock off then turn the phone sideways and draw the text. One can write a message and send it with invis-ible ink, gentle, loud or with a slam. There are also animations

one can use so when someone opens a text it can be presented with confetti, bal-loons, fireworks, la-sers, or a shooting star. The update also includes smarter typ-ing suggestions when trying to compose a message or an email. Also a new fea-ture in email where one can now swipe down to save a draft and hold a finger on compose to get back to the saved drafts. A major up-grade on how well the Apple devices are connected, which is also presented with an improvement with IOS 10 including the Apple watch, iPad, iPhone, iMac, iPod, and other apple de-vices have. The “pull-up bar” has received an update as well with an added screen and a rearrangement.

Finding Them Now: Cast of FriendsBY SHAUNA HONAKERSTAFF WRITER

Friends, the old TV show, a funny, fam-

ily classic is when six best friends attempt adult life. The TV show first aired Sept. 22, 1994, starring Rachel, Mon-ica, Ross, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe. As it turned out, the show was a massive success. Rachel, with her stylish hair, and the crew with a great sense of style won the hearts of millions. Eventually, the show had to come to an end on May 6, 2004. The show ended, but where did the crew go? Jennifer Anis-ton, better known as Ra-chel Green, the spoiled rich girl who moved in with Monica after leav-ing her fiancé at the al-tar, was very successful after the show ended. She came out with two fragrances, one in 2011 and the other in 2014.

Aniston got married but later was divorced. She later found love again, but married in secret to her hus-band, Justin Theroux. C o u r t e n e y Cox, formerly known as Monica Geller, the neat freak who got mar-ried to Chandler Bing, began living a happy life after Friends with a daughter, Coco, with husband David Ar-quette. Cox eventually got divorced and found love again in 2014. Cox starred in Scream and Bedtime Stories; she was also the executive producer and star of the show Cougar Town. David Schwim-mer or Ross Geller, Monica’s older brother and Rachel’s compli-cated lover, rejected many TV shows and movies after the show Friends. He rejected Will Smith’s role in the movie Men In Black. He also played the role of Melman the giraffe in

Madagascar. Schwim-mer got married to a British Photographer and had a daughter. Matthew Perry also known as Chandler Bing, was known for his romantic side and mar-rying Monica Geller. After Friends ended, Perry starred in many other films and TV shows such as 17 Again and the remake of The Odd Couple. Matthew

Perry never married and had no children. Matt LeBlanc more famously known for his role as Joey Tribbiani, the strug-gling actor who shared an apartment with Chandler Bing. Matt is the only Friends cast member who got his own spin-off of Friends called Joey. The spin-off aired for two seasons, after the spin-off ended,

Matt took a four year hiatus from acting. Matt made a glorious return to TV with the show Ep-isodes, playing himself. Lisa Kudrow, Phoebe Buffay, mas-seuse/really bad singer/songwriter, won hearts with her horrible yet good song, “Smelly Cat.” Kudrow wrote and starred in a show called, Web Therapy. Lisa had a few films and

shows since her days on Friends, but not any major roles. She mar-ried Michel Stern and had a son, Julian Stern. Overall, the cast of Friends has done quite well since the show ended. Friends has received a total 211 nominations and won 69 of those nom-inations. Needless to say Friends is wor-thy of binge watching.

Friends cast then and now from left to right Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Mathew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer.

Falling for MakeupFall includes warm clothes, autumn leafs and pumpkin spice lattes, but makeup is a bigger decision for some. There are many deci-

sions one has to make to get the perfect look for each season, and this look presented will give a neutral fall look that can also be worn in other seasons. Browns, maroons, and even golds so tightly pressed onto the eye can make a big difference in appearance. A make-up artist that goes by Kittysnack , on Youtube has made the perfect look for fall. The following a step by step tutorial is on how to achieve this look. Find this tutorial at : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhfAV663bKQ&edufilter=2_b-LU4NH5YIg6VAoKfE9w

1After applying the normal face routine, apply a soft beige brown in the crease

using a fat fluffy blending brush. The col-or used was “Bake Sale” by Makeup Geek.

2Secondly, take a shade darker than the previous shade (deep brown) and

blend it into the outer corner. The color used was “Tan Lines” by Makeup Geek.

3Next, take an even deeper and darker brown on an angled brush and use it to darken the outer corner and

slowly drag into the crease. The color used was “Amer-icano” by Makeup Geek. Then take a peachy pink and blend out the top of the shadow for a more smokey look.

4Next, take your finger with a foiled gold eyeshadow and lightly pat on

the lid to cover naked spots for ulti-mate pigmentation. The foiled shadow used is called “Legend” by Makeup Geek

5 Next, take a tiny blending brush with black eyeshadow and blend into the corner of

your eye, and slowly drag it into your crease. Then take “Bake Sale,” “Americano,” and “Tan Lines,” and blend it onto the lower lash line.

6 Next to turn into a halo eye use “Americano” in the inner corner and drag into the crease

to create a halo effect. Apply liquid liner as a simple wing as shown or change it to a cat eye.

Harbin’s Electrical Class Contributes Coffin To West Elementary’s Fall Festival

s o m e t h i n g you usually find in a high school car-pentry shop, but for Mr. Harbin’s In-dustrial Elec-tricity class, a coffin was not out of place, because they were the ones building it. T h e coffin was built over the course of a week to be contributed to West Elementary as a prop for them to use

at their Fall Festival. According to Harbin, “Teachers from West Elementa-ry came and asked if

we could build them a prop coffin. Since they did not have a design, I designed the coffin and then the Elec-

trical guys built it.” Made from ma-terials given to them by the elementary school and painted to give it a genuine look and feel, the coffin was used as part of a haunted house with a person inside to give a good scare to anyone that walks by. As for its contribution to the students Harbin stated, “The guys used the skills they had ac-quired during Carpen-try in order to build it, so it became like a refresher for them on their carpentry skills.”

Mr. Harbin’s Industrial Electricity class spent a little over a week building the coffin by hand.

The coffin was used by West Elementary as a prop for their

Mo’ West: Embraces Self WorthBY JENNI DIAZSTAFF WRITER

The time of the year arrived when the

Fundamentals of Edu-cation class did a week long campaign to en-courage students on a certain topic. This year, Cari Ashford’s class decided on a self image campaign to promote self worth. Students took pictures of other stu-dents and put them on a wall, to convey that everyone can be confident. Students got their picture tak-en and Ashford’s class put them on a wall that says “Wall of Worth.”

Along with the wall, the students in the Fundamen-tals of Education class came up with a week long campaign that

consisted of dressing up in best attire, and TNN teachers gave small lessons or played games that went along with this years cam-

paign. Students to the right are examples of pictures on the wall.

Starbucks Offers Fall Flavors

Pumpkin spice season is upon us

bringing all its latte goodness. Although the Pumpkin Spice Latte is a popular fall favorite, there are other Starbucks’ fall drinks that will steal one’s taste buds. Even though the season of Fall may be cooling down, it is never too cold to have a Star-bucks frappuccino. The new Chile Mocha Frappchino will bring the heat to any cool fall day. The Chile Mocha Frap-puccino is made up of coco, cinnamon and vanilla with a kick of ancho and cayenne chile spices. These fla-vors are then blend-ed together with cof-fee, milk and ice. This is the perfect drink to bring savory and sweet flavors together. Another de-lightful frappuccino this fall is the Salt-

ed Caramel Mocha Frappe. This drink is a wonderful flavor for fall as well as leading into Christmas flavors. The Salted Car-amel Mocha Frappuc-ccino blends mocha sauce and toffee nut syrup with coffee, milk and ice. Then the drink is topped off with turbi-nado sugar and sea salt, for that warm sweet and salty combina-tion flavor during fall.

If one does not desire cold drinks during fall, then Starbucks offers some of the same flavors in warm drinks. For hot fall drinks, the flavors do not change from those listed pre-viously. The Chile Mocha is available hot or cold. The hot version of the Chile Mocha is made with espresso, but if coffee is not de-sired, one can get the Chile Mocha as hot chocolate. Finally, the one most people are fa-

miliar with-the Pump-kin Spice Latte. It is the most popular sell-ing drink at Starbucks during fall. This year makes the 13 consec-utive seasonal debut of the PSL. The PSL is made with pumpkin pie sauce that contains real pumpkin, cin-namon, ginger, clove and nutmeg. Its then combined with espres-so and steamed milk,

and finally topped off with whipped cream and a pinch of pumpkin pie topping. The PSL gives anyone the true taste of fall. This year welcome fall with all it has to offer by tasting the flavors of fall at Starbucks. Visit Morris-town’s local Starbucks in-side the West Ingles Mar-ket store.

College Highlights on East TennesseeState University

Editor Note: This ar-ticle is a continuation of a series to adver-tise local colleges to students in an infor-mative viewpoint.

Malcolm X once said, “Education

is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” While college is not for everyone, it is a preparation for one’s future. Within the lo-cal area, East Tennes-see State University (ETSU) is accredited college for success. ETSU is a me-dium size, 4-year, public university. This coed college is located in a rural set-ting and is primarily a commuter campus. It offers bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees. It is part of the Tennessee Board of Regents system of colleges and uni-versities, the nation’s sixth largest system of public education, and is the fourth largest university in the state. The universi-ty has a 43% graduate rate of within a span of six years. ETSU also has a 71% rate for re-

turning freshmen. The student to fac-ulty ratio is 17:1. The most pop-

ular bachelor’s degrees are health professions, b u s i n e s s / m a r k e t -ing, liberal arts, and parks and recreation.ETSU also offers computer services, extended class-es, ROTC, study abroad, double ma-jors, and much more. ETSU has many famous alum-ni. First is Kenneth Arnold “Kenny” Chesney. He is an American country music singer, song-writer and record producer. He has re-corded 20 albums, 14 of which have been certified Gold or high-er by the RIAA. Next is Mike Smith. He is an American football coach who is the de-fensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Bucca-neers of the National Football League. He is the former head coach of the NFL’s Atlan-ta Falcons, a position he held from 2008 to 2014. After that is Ron-ald Lynn “Ron” Ram-sey. He is the 49th and current Lieutenant Governor of Tennes-see and Speaker of the

State Senate. Finally is Eric Allen Axley . He is an American pro-fessional golfer. He is one of the few natu-ral left-handers to win on the Web.com Tour and PGA Tour. These are just a select few of the famous alumni. ETSU’s aver-age age for students is twenty three. Ap-proximately fourteen percent are part time students. Eighty six percent are in state attendees, meaning fourteen percent are from out of state. Fif-ty-four percent of stu-dents are female, and forty six percent are male. With an eighty two percent ethnici-ty, ETSU is primarily made up of Caucasian students. That follows with seven percent being African Ameri-can and other ethnic-ities making up the remaining percentage. ETSU has many housing op-tions. Men’s housing,

women’s housing, coed, and fraternity/sororities are just a few types of housing. They also permits freshmen to have cars. ETSU is the home for the Bucca-neers. Participating in the NCAA Division I, ETSU has a wide va-riety of sports includ-ing but not excluding to baseball, basketball, cross country, football and even racquetball.

True Meaning of Hard Work

During a West High football

game halftime per-formance, it is not often that one may see a band member in a cheerleading outfit. After taking a second look, it is clear to see that this Trojan cheer-leader is also a Tro-jan trumpet player. Lauren Freeman, a freshman here at West High, is this talented Trojan, who supports the Trojan nation not only with cheers and dances, but also music to keep the spirit alive during a football game. F r e e m a n shows the true meaning of hard work and determi-nation, as she strives to participate in both sports, as well as school and other extra-curricular ac-tivities beyond the walls of West High. Being a cheerleader

for nine years and playing the trumpet for five, Freeman continues to show her ambition by also being a clog-ger and competing

in national clog-ging competitions. Freeman at-tends both cheer and band camp during the sum-mer, and competes

in competitions for both of these ac-tivities as well. As one can imagine, Freeman’s sched-ule stays busy, so she has allowed

herself to manage her time between school, band, cheer, and other aspects of her life by ensur-ing a set time when she fits in home-

work among all of her activities. She described her time management by saying, “Every day is a set schedule.” When ques-tioned with how she is able to do both of these activities and others, Freeman described her mo-tivation that comes from both her fam-ily and her peers. Freeman explained, “Both of my parents were in the band and they support me in ways to provide me with an oppor-tunity to do both.” Lauren Free-man is an excellent example of true West High spir-it, as she is both a West High cheer-leader and a West High band mem-ber. Along with supportive loved ones and good time management skills, Freeman has been able to display the true meaning of how hard pays off.

Lauren Freeman, freshman, stands out among the band members, playing her trumpet in her cheerleading attire; all the while representing two of the activities that keep her hard

at work as a West High Trojan band member and cheerleader.
