Even though you can’t always tell when you look outside, spring really is coming up. Which means it’s time for the new spring fashion trends. I’ve done some research and can proudly present the new trends for spring 2011 right off the runways of New York, London, Milan and Paris.

The main styles spotted on the runway are the ballerina, military, color blocking and the neutrals and nudes.

The “Ballerina” and the “neutrals and nudes” looks are a little similar.  For both styles we see a lot of neutral colors like creamy white, tan and pale pink.  What makes the ballerina look different is the choice of fabric. We see a lot of  soft and delicate fabrics like lace, silk, and soft cotton. The pieces for the ballerina look have a very feminine touch with little bows and ruffles.

“Many mass retailers like Tommy Hilfiger and Forever 21 have loads of great ruffled shirts this spring,” style and beauty expert Mary Allice Stephenson says. “Whether it’s a ruffle chambray tank or the ruffles on your tiered skirt, a little ruffle goes a long way and sweetens up everything you wear. I pair spring’s ruffles right now under my most masculine suits and boyfriend cardies. It makes even the most casual clothes in my closet seem super sexy.”

The military trend is back and making its mark this season. This trend has been hanging around for quite a while and is bigger than ever this summer and could not be easier to pull together. In its simplest form the army look is all about combining khaki with a range of colors including bold red and accents with gold, silver or brass. The must have for this look is the military jacket in a petrol blue or khaki. If you’re inspired by this look, you’ll find some great items at Forever 21 or G Star Raw.

The color blocking look will be characterized by lots of bright colors, that are badly needed after a long, cold, dark winter filled with gray tones. When it comes to color blocking, don’t be afraid to mix unconventional colors together. Blue and green and orange may sound like a crazy combo, but it will give you the perfect look.  You can shop this look basically everywhere, but some great essentials you’ll find at H&M and asos.com

The Neutrals and Nudes look is very feminine and gracefull.  This look is been around for a while now in Europe but finally spotted in the USA. It isn’t just in clothing we see a lot of nude colors as far as the fashion world goes. We’ll also see nude colors in our make up, jewelry and even shoes. What makes this look different from the ballerina look is the choice of fabrics. This look works great with leather, suede and jeans. You’ll find some great spring makeup with lots of neutral colors at Stilla.  7forallmankind and American Eagle will give you a great selection of clothes.

Now all you we have to do is wait for spring to finally begin. You’ll sure look great with these fashion trends.

What is senioritis.  Senioritis is the the word senior plus the prefix itis, meaning illness. But what are the symptoms?

Symptoms of senioritis include, but are not limited too:  Procrastination, lack of motivation, drop in academic performance, desire to drop out of school, and coasting.  Senioritis is usually at its peak when the person is finishing their last year in high school, but side affects are often seen toward the end of junior year, and sometimes (in the most extreme cases) at the end of sophomore year.

There is really no way to overcome the sickness that is senioritis, other then kicking your own butt into gear, but many times the disease is too powerful and the student can not pull himself out of the undercurrent of procrastination.

Meeker A Dead End?
Are things as bad as they seem? Is Meeker, Colorado really Dead Endsville, U.S.A? Are we really surrounded by gossipy closed minded people, as many people seem to believe exist in small towns?
In order to find this out I decided the best method would be comparison. So I interviewed students who had moved here just recently.

Make your own conclusions.

Dennis Piper-Hawaii

“The kids are better here, a little conceited. There was more to do there but here it’s more fun. In Hawaii you can’t get drunk until you’re 21, or they will put you in jail for a whole year. The parents here are a lot more open minded than in Hawaii. I like school better here, less people and better looking ones. In Hawaii the principals didn’t swat you, here they do plus expelling you.”

Dannette Devereaux-Green River, Utah

“The people in Utah are more open minded. The kids aren’t any wilder. This isn’t a very interesting place, so I can’t say anything interesting about it.”

Carla Overton-Denver

“This town is boring. The people are friendly when you first get here, but then they get back in their groups and act snobbish.”

Mike Gregory-Dallas, Texas

“Meeker’s smaller and friendlier. I like this school better, each day is different.”

Yesterday, January 12, 2010, Mr. Klark Kindler was announced Meeker High School’s Teacher of the Year! He was recognized at a school-wide assembly for outstanding accomplishment in teaching by the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States (VFW). He was given two plaques, one to take home, and one to be hung up in the hallways of Meeker High School.
