Maddie Hibbs –– Social Media Editor
Maddie is serving her final year at BSM as the social media editor. She narrowly escaped the clutches of the Lake Minnetonka’s Skippers and the mayhem of public school. Traveling into safeties arms at the Red Knights new stadium, she feels superior in her candy cane colors while casually mocking those in the nautical realm. Harry Potter crazed, she loves to catch up with the latest golden snitch news and keep track of her favorite house team. She also enjoys a stroll in the park with her pet seagulls Jimmy and Sam and doing the Party Rock Shuffle in the middle of uptown.

Filed under Music Reviews
With the release of her newest album “Loud,” Rhianna seems less willing to create songs with deep meaning like the popular “Umbrella” or “Unfaithful.” Instead she is making shallower melodies with crude lyrics that certainly seem less likely to be incorporated into the next Glee episode.

Among the many restaurants and boutiques lining 50th and France, a dimly lit restaurant hides in the side of a small building––Raku.
