My Opinion on Opinions

March 8, 2019March 7, 2019Maeve McDonald

For my final article I am going to be sharing my opinions on what it has been like sharing my opinions with the school for the last three years. Whoa… KO News inception. I pretty much knew after I completed the journalism course during the first semester of my sophomore year, that I would want […]

Make ‘Room’ for the worst movie ever

March 8, 2019March 7, 2019Maeve McDonald

Written by, directed by, produced by and starring the wonderfully mysterious Tommy Wiseau, “The Room,” created in 2003, is without a doubt the best worst movie I have ever watched. Costing Wiseau six million of his own dollars, and making only $1,800 in box office, this film seems to be a massive failure. But I […]

Women directors snubbed in 2018 Oscar nominations

February 2, 2019Maeve McDonald

It’s no secret that the film industry is a field in which it is much harder for women to succeed than men. The recent announcement of the 2019 Oscar nominations speaks to this statement. Specifically, no women were nominated this year for best director. This year’s nominees include, Spike Lee, Pawel Pawlikowski, Yorgos Lanthimos, Adam […]

Daylight savings wastes precious time

November 15, 2018November 26, 2018Maeve McDonald

Daylight savings must go. There is truly no point in changing the clocks every six months. There is no benefit in confusing our bodies with the time (which actually probably doesn’t even exist). People will say that daylight savings was implemented in the late 1700s to save energy. Guess what? THAT WAS 250 YEARS AGO. […]

Social hierarchy is real

October 25, 2018October 24, 2018Maeve McDonald

Whether or not you believe social hierarchy exists or not, it does. Specifically, it can even be seen at KO in the way that students interact with each other, and the way we view ourselves, and others as well. When I say the hierarchy exists, what I actually mean is that as a society we have […]

The adventues of being a senior advisor

September 28, 2018September 27, 2018Maeve McDonald

Sixth grade, or “upper prep” as we like to call it at KO is the only grade in which every single student is new to the school. Even if you know other students going into KO, starting something new is always scary. At this point in their time at KO, they have seven whole years […]

Why Takeoff is the best member of Migos

May 25, 2018May 24, 2018Maeve McDonald

I am about to prove that Takeoff is the best, most talented, and most underrated member of Migos. For too long we have been praising Quavo as the most important member of the group, and even Offset seems to get far more attention than Takeoff. If you don’t feel like reading any further, feel free […]

WYD mother nature?

April 25, 2018May 20, 2018Maeve McDonald

It is currently April 16, and this morning I woke up to see a thick sheet of ice covering the ground. That should not be happening. It has now officially been spring for 26 days, but I don’t quite think mother nature is up to speed with the rest of us. I obviously have my […]
