As college acceptance letters starts pouring through the mail, students are now concerned about how to afford their top choice college. Let’s face it; college isn’t easy to pay for. With the economy going downhill, college seems more difficult to pay for; students should take full advantage of getting financial help. Some students will apply for scholarships and some will apply for student loans. Based on a student’s financial standing, the student could receive enough money to pay for most of their college tuition. Either way, students will have to think about a way to help pay for college if they don’t already have their tuition set. There are a few options to help assist a future college student’s tuition.

Several students at Wethersfield High School have been caught hacking into computers in the computer labs and terrorizing the accounts of other students. While the identity and specific punishment of these students remains unknown, it is common knowledge that a group of students were caught hacking in to the administrators’ accounts and sending random commands for computers to shut down. This means that while you are working on a school computer, it could randomly turn off because certain students made it do so. This would cause you to lose all your work at anytime for no apparent reason. “It’s kind of senseless because they’re hurting their friends,” says Mrs. Griffin, the computer consultant on the 4^th floor lab. “I don’t know if they’re doing it to impress their friends, but what if their friends lost all their work? I wouldn’t be impressed.”
