“When frogs are falling from the sky, just take responsibility.” – “C’est La Vie” by The Killers. Football, ketchup and capybaras. That’s all anyone really needs to know about senior Ruben Plascencia. He’s as ambitious–albeit lazy–about school and as passionate about contact sports as ever. In his second year on staff, he’ll either be one of the quietest people in the room or blabbering about some team you’ve never heard of and how much strife they put him through.
