On Embracing What You’re Horrible At
By Heidie Raine
I quit cheerleading after my sophomore year of high school in search of something new—reduced glitter, less time, better people. I found my answer in the form of the cross country team, a lovely athletic group that shared mutual respect, carb-loaded dinners and one goal: run fast.

2. 45-minute practices
3. An altogether kinder atmosphere than competitive cheer crowd had provided

‘Peacemaker’ 3-Episode Premiere is a Frustrating Mixture of Greatness and Failures
By the Cedars A&E Staff
(The following review will contain spoilers for James Gunn’s “The Suicide Squad”)

If you’ve seen “The Suicide Squad”, the idea of a spinoff devoted entirely to Peacemaker should alone make you question a couple things - in a good way. When I heard that Gunn was making a Peacemaker series, I was intrigued to see how the show would handle one of the most nuanced DC characters of recent memory. Almost right after that, I ...
