How to Be the Alpha Wolf of High School
By Emilie Meiners
How to Editor In a world of copy-and-paste, there's a select few who stand out. The Sigma stands apart from the rest in the crowd. While others are followers, the Sigma Alpha (Fe)Males forge their own path. While thriving on independence and self-mastery, this handful of people create their own destiny without craving validation from others. Driven by purpose, rather than societal expectations, they maintain a sort of confidence that speaks louder than words. They lead from within, discipline, personal growth, and follow their own rules and logic. To begin mastering the Sigma mindset, you must first understand the core principle: complete independence. Chelsea Nelson is a flawless, impeccable, ideal, beautiful, exemplary, flawless, precise, supreme, absolutely perfect example of Sigma. She is the most Sigma person I myself have ever met. So sigma that everyone reading this should give her $30. You can tell just how Sigma she is with this one-liner: “You can have my pickle.” This kind of behavior—not relying on the approval of others nor changing yourself to fit in—is exactly what it means to be Sigma. A real Sigma doesn't seek attention or approval. Disregarding the need for outside praise or recognition, they focus on personal growth. Start by pinpointing where in your life you depend on others' opinions. Whether it is social media, peer pressure, or following trends, breaking free from these influences is the most important part of developing a Sigma mindset. Once you identify these areas, challenge yourself. Make decisions purely based on your own values and goals. Once you’ve figured out that independence is super important, the next step is all about mastering yourself. Start by finding your passion and skills: what do you love doing, and what skills come to you naturally? Do you enjoy gaming, drawing, fashion, or shopping? Find a routine that includes those things. Consistency is key here—commit to your personal growth, even on days when motivation is hard to get. Additionally, seek out knowledge and experiences that challenge you. Read books, watch videos, or join online communities that challenge your brain. Challenging yourself can help you build confidence and resilience—two traits that capture the Sigma mind. Just remember, this journey to mastering yourself is a lifelong adventure, and each step you take will show how strong you are! In conclusion, mastering the Sigma mindset is all about fully embracing your independence and pursuing self-mastery while creating your own unique path. This journey will challenge your mind and build determination, patience, and self-reflection. Every step counts, so celebrate each win, big or small. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, for that's what it truly means to be a Sigma. Being Sigma is the most Sigma thing out there. Posted 10/6 |

Something in Here Stinks..
By Emilie Meiners
How to Editor Some people, won’t say names, think it’s totally tubular if they just made out in the middle of the halls. Unfortunately , we are in high school! so that’s kinda disgusting. If you’re putting your hand in your girls back pocket while walking to chemistry, please reevaluate your life. Something must’ve gone wrong in your childhood to have made you think that doing that is okay. Nobody wants to see it happen. I would say, “get a room!” but the people doing it are 14-18. Children. Minors. Disgusting. If you want a more in depth reasoning behind why PDA is gross, stinky, and has a yellow and green aura, you’ll just have to read Anna Yallechs article on it. The only reason I could possibly say that PDA is acceptable is if some entity is forcing you to commit these heinous acts, but even then this article is here to show you how to avoid committing crimes such as PDA. The first step is to just break up! If I haven’t had a boyfriend since 8th grade, no one should have one. Not only are you bragging about having a boyfriend/girlfriend, you’re also doing it in a really gross way. No one wants to see you get freaky by the stairs in south hall. I also don’t want to see any suspicious cars in drivers ed, especially since this is still a highschool. The second step is to trace your steps. Find the moment in time where you were traumatized to the point of committing such a horrifyingly disgusting act. Was there a specific moment during your childhood which led you to grab your girl's butt in the middle of the commons? Even Mr. Fowler said, “I never want to see it happen.” Finally, get a hobby. Scroll on instagram reels, play solitaire online, maybe join a really annoying math class where the teacher can't teach you anything so you have to teach yourself or you'll fail. Anything is better than PDA! If you think I'm harsh, talk to Anna Yallech. She’s more passionate about this topic than I am. Find literally anything else to do. Honestly, PDA is just embarrassing. 9 times out of 10 people are taking pictures of you kissing in the halls, and if you don't like that it can be avoided by just not being affectionate in the hallways. I hate when I walk into school and see hand holding, kissing, butt grabbing, hair twirling couples in the halls. I’m just trying to get to class man. You are not alpha. Posted 9/26 |
I walked around interviewing a handful of people and their own interactions with PDA, here were some of their responses. All of these responses will remain anonymous.
"Everytime I leave class I see the same couple in the halls. I swear they leave every single class to mack in the halls." "There's this one couple who have so much lore and gossip around them. They're always touchy feely in the halls and its so embarrassing." "Every morning there's a couple that'll sit on the stairs in south hall downstairs and get freaky. Not actually freaky, but freaky for doing it out in public in a High School."
