Here at Foothill, a large part of the population buys lunch daily, although it’s more out of necessity rather than want. Many students agree on one thing concerning cafeteria food: its quality is less than spectacular. Last year the school announced that the new cafeteria meals would be healthier,... Read more »
The challenges of being the “new kid”
February 2, 2011 • Terry Zhou, Staff Reporter
Filed under Student Life
I remember when I was a kid, ‘moving’ was like dying. This was another age, when YouTube was an infant and it was unheard of for a child to have an e-mail address or phone number.
