The Uni High basketball season is quickly approaching. In a little over three weeks, Kenney Gym will be filled with bouncing balls, squeaking shoes, and a ton of freshman who don’t know what they’re in for.

That’s OK though, right?

I wasn’t always a fan of The Beatles. In fact, when I was younger, I thought they made annoying old-people music. That was, of course, before I had ever listened to any of their songs other than “Yellow Submarine,” and I didn’t even know that was by The Beatles.

According to my mother, I have the worst table manners in the family next to my dog, Susan.
