When I decided to join Harbinger second semester o

When I decided to join Harbinger second semester of my senior year, my family and friends were confused. I was met with questions like “Don’t you hate writing?” and “Why would you do it if you can’t put it on your college applications?”

I’d never had any interest in journalism and I hadn’t taken an art elective since sophomore year. But when spring semester applications came out, I decided to apply on a gut feeling I’d regret it if I didn’t.

This was my last chance to see what all the “Harbie family” hype was.

What’s the most difficult sport? A heated debate

What’s the most difficult sport? A heated debate between then-juniors Beck Jones, William Norris and their friends. Jones thought, clearly not cross country. It’s a “baby sport.” All you do is run, couldn’t be that hard, right?

“Beckham, I bet you couldn’t make it through a week of cross country practice,” Norris told Jones.

So Jones took up that bet — an ego bet. Only he didn’t leave after one week.

Two years later, now-seniors Jones and Norris are both running on varsity together and preparing to move to Parkville, Missouri and compete in cross country and track for Park University, continuing to train with their high school coach — Rikki Hacker.

After four years, 56 issues, hundreds of hours in

After four years, 56 issues, hundreds of hours in the J-Room and an unthinkable amount of “five minutes” by Tate, the time has finally come. I sit here one final Sunday night staring at my computer struggling to find the right words to wrap up my entire Harbinger experience.

Looking back, I immediately think of one day: my first ads day. 14-year-old freshman me was on cloud nine about making the staff, I was excited for any Harbinger event. So when Catherine, my head editor at the time, approached me on my second week on staff to tell me I was required to sell ads on a Saturday at 10 a.m., I was all in. There was just one small problem: I couldn’t drive.

I sat in the main room brainstorming for 30 minutes, my mind racing for a solution that didn’t involve going into the back room and begging an upperclassman for a ride.

But sadly, that became my reality.

Senior Xavier Mann never has time to waste. He wak

Senior Xavier Mann never has time to waste. He wakes up at 5 a.m. and starts his day with an hour-long run. Then he’s only got around an hour to shower and get ready for school. Once school’s out, it’s time to lift weights in the gym for a solid 90-minute session followed by his additional strength training. After all that, he’s got another cardio session.

But his routine is nothing compared to the strenuous physical combat training at Fort Leonard Wood — the army base Xavier will call home when he enlists in the army on June 18.

“I don’t see myself being able to work a nine-to-five at a desk or something,” Xavier said. “I just wanted something different that I know I’m not going to be used to so I can experience something challenging but different.”

Dear Harbinger, Once upon a time, I spent hours o

Dear Harbinger,

Once upon a time, I spent hours of my time poring over flimsy paperback elementary school yearbooks thrown together by the PTA and meticulously crafted New York Times newspapers.

Anything printed and bound I got my hands on became my new obsessive reading material. So the second that being involved in journalism at school became an option, I signed up automatically.

Within my four years in journalism — spanning across two staffs and trying designing, writing and photography — I’ve been able to explore every single aspect of the publications that fascinated me as a child.

I was 11 when I watched my first episode of “ER.”

My dad was watching it in our living room and I couldn’t sleep so I came down to see what was on TV. George Clooney appeared on the screen, saving lives and stealing hearts, and I fell in love — not only with hot doctors — but with medicine.

Throughout high school, I’ve taken almost every science class offered, totaling nine by the time I receive my cap and gown. Some call it excessive, but when you’re set on becoming a doctor in the fifth grade, every test tube and microscope feels like a step towards your life long goal.

Deciding what I wanted to do on Harbinger took man

Deciding what I wanted to do on Harbinger took many trials and a whole lot of error.

After being head editor for the Indian Hills journalism staff and taking Journalism 1 freshman year, I knew I wanted to be a writer and tell other people’s stories. So becoming a staff writer was a no-brainer, but I also chose to be a page designer to broaden my skills — big mistake.

I don’t remember much about my semester designing pages, but I do remember sitting in a cubicle in the library with former Design Editor Anna Mitchell during a deadline watching her redesign my whole page from the fonts to layout because of how bad it was.

Designing was clearly not my thing.

Head pressed against the floor, then-7-year-old Em

Head pressed against the floor, then-7-year-old Emma Kuhlman peered through the dusty crack between her basement couch and carpet, hoping her dad wouldn’t notice. She breathed softly.

Inches away, her dad played “The Last of Us” on PlayStation 3 — a game far too gory to let his daughter watch. So instead of sitting beside him, she settled for spying between furniture gaps, aweing at the complex storylines and high-quality animation for hours — and falling in love.

As my fellow staffers reminisce about deadline dan

As my fellow staffers reminisce about deadline dance parties, stressful writing competitions or staying up until 2 a.m. to finish stories, there’s one thing that made my Harbinger experience unique — inter-staff relationships.

When I initially joined Harbinger, I wanted to improve my skills as a writer and learn how to become well-versed in social media and mass communications, but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that I was also strongly influenced by my then-girlfriend who was on staff.
