This past weekend my friend, her sister and friends, and our moms took a girls trip to New Orleans. My friend and I rode with her sister and her friends to New Orleans. On the way to the hotel we shopped at a few stores, stopped at a coffee shop, and took photos. Finally, we arrived at the hotel, checked in to our room, and rushed to get ready in time for dinner. We walked to dinner and were so excited for what was to come.

After dinner, my friends and I hurried into an Uber and made our way to the Joy Theater in New Orleans. We stepped out of the car to have the bright neon sign greet us. After getting through security, we made our way to the general admission area. We pushed through the crowd to get to the front row! After waiting almost an hour, the band Milky Chance finally made their appearance on stage. The concert was amazing and it was the first time I had ever been that close to the stage.

Flash Story

At exactly 5:30 AM, the blaring alarm woke the four teenage girls from a deep sleep. They tossed and turned until Blaire realized what the day had in store. Blaire woke the others and they hurriedly showered, got dressed, brushed their teeth, combed their hair, and were out the door in less than twenty minutes. By 6:00 AM, Blaire, Kristen, Stella, and Skylar hopped into the jeep with excitement. At 6:15 the girls reached the highway, blasting the car speakers with their all-time favorite music. They enjoyed the early morning ride, laughing, texting, taking pictures and videos, until it stopped. At exactly 6:17 AM the jeep collided with an eighteen wheeler, rolled down the highway, as Blaire was halfway through what she didn't know would be her last text.

September 11th, 2001

Before watching the documentary, 9/11: Stories in Fragments , I thought I knew a lot of information about 9/11. But I was wrong. Little did I know how long the event took, that there were more than two planes, and that not only the twin towers were hit. Watching the documentary and having a personal experience toward the event- my great-grandfather having jumped from tower one while his floor was up in flames- made the experience much more intense and emotional. September 11, 2001 is a date most Americans could never forget. As much as we say "Never forget" and other phrases related to this event, historians ponder the question, what if we forget? Artifacts from the twin towers and the pentagon, ordinary, everyday objects have been collected and stored in the Smithsonian Museum. The generous owners of these objects donated them so that we, as Americans, will officially never forget.

This past week, Judge Reinhardt died at the age of 87. He was a longtime liberal on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The Ninth Circuit has been difficult for conservatives to deal with due to its influence of liberals such as Judge Reinhardt. However, with this vacancy on the court, along with eight others, President Trump has an opportunity to change the court to his advantage by choosing who will take the openings. He has put forth two nominees, Mark Bennett and Ryan Bounds. Bennett has support from the two democratic senators, however Bounds does not. Despite efforts made by Senator Dianne Feinstein, the senior democrat on the Judiciary Committee, President Trump will choose a nominee much different than Judge Reinhardt. After reading this article, I find it interesting to see the split between the Democrats and Republicans when it comes to the courts and replacements. Even though the Democrats will oppose the nominees President Trump picks, I believe the
