I Say, Bicycles!

19 May

I prefer older architecture. One of my favourite types is the architecture of the Industrial Revolution. I adore the beautiful, awe-inspiring factories and railway stations of this period. I had little understanding, however, of those who romanticise the sordid modern railways and infrastructure. I found the fascination with modern railways almost perverse, and I remained thoroughly baffled by it until one day in April, when I happened to cycle past a railway bridge at twilight. I was awestruck. It was a bridge like any other, it was nothing I hadn’t seen countless times before, but that evening it was beautiful. The champagne I had previously might have influenced me slightly, but it was a pleasant experience all the same.

Jämställdhetens land Sverige

Är ni en av de där som då och då spontant undrar vad framtiden egentligen är? Vart är vi på väg, vart vill vi komma och hur kommer vi dit? Kommer vi någonsin att komma till framtiden, är vi kanske redan där? För mig var det här en fråga som dök upp i samband med temat för ettornas nationella prov, och efter x antal koppar kaffe och en rad sömnlösa nätter tror jag mig ha kommit fram till min samhällskritiska definition av framtiden.

Kungsholmen vinner Läroverksfejden 2013

Läroverksfejden 2013 avslutades med bravur när Kungsholmen tog hem segern! Idrottstävlingen, som tog plats på Zinkendamms IP, var nervkittlande men trots det kändes segern tidigt rätt given. Med den största klacken och duktiga atleter intog KG arenan och bjöd på ett riktigt storslam. ”Det är vi som är Kungsholmen” kunde vi i klacken stolt vråla när de tävlande levererade vinst efter vinst.

I’m Not Gay, I Am Me

I'm Not Gay, I Am Me

Hi there, I’m Toby. I am eighteen years old and I am attending my last year at Kungsholmens Gymnasium. I like to eat, sleep, spend time with friends, cuddle with my dog and play computer games. So nothing out of the ordinary, really. The only thing out of the ordinary about me, perhaps, is that I happen to be homosexual. Now I know what you are thinking, and let me get one thing straight. I am not one of those stereotypical homosexuals. In fact, I kind of see myself as the opposite. For some reason though, whenever I tell someone I am gay for the first time I continually notice how many try to relate me to the stereotype anyway.

Delad andraplats för KG i allmänbildning

Photo: Carolina Svernlöv

Trots tappra försök slutade Kungsholmen på en andraplats i dagens deltävling i allmänbildning, vinsten gick återigen till vår största rival Södra Latin. Den nervkittlande deltävlingen avgjordes inte endast av allmänbildningen hos de tävlande, utan taktik spelade även in. Med detta kan vi säga att förlusten inte låg i brist på allmänbildning hos Kungsholmens tävlande.

“You guys broke up? Don’t worry, there are plenty of other fish in the sea.” It’s a common saying, meant to be comforting and consoling.

My New Life As A Hitman

The corridor is crowded with people. Some are sitting at the tables, studying or working on their latest school projects, some are waiting for class to begin and some are just hanging around. Suddenly a shout is heard and catches everybody’s attention. Someone starts to run, tries to make it to the corridor door, but it is already too late. The victim is caught and brutally murdered. The Killer Game has begun.
