Imagine it’s a rainy Friday night at about 8 pm. The kind of rainy night where it's too miserable outside to do anything other than stay home, curl up, and watch a movie. One friend is watching a gruesome horror movie, another could be watching a gut-wrenchingly beautiful romance, and the third could be fully immersed in an out-of-this-world sci-fi or fantasy movie. This is relatively average human behavior that isn’t questionable at all, but if you really sit and think about it, the choices we make on what movies we watch or what music we listen to can tell a lot about our personalities. 

Everyone knows the biggest problem with Cheetos or Doritos is the orange stains they leave on your hands, and if you are not careful, you will track them everywhere. You can’t do anything while you eat these chips because you will look down and realize that bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos you just ate left red powder stains all over your shirt, gaming controller, TV remote, and your math homework. And do not even consider giving them to a child whose tiny sticky fingers will be leaving neon red handprints all over your house. Lucky for us all, there is a solution.

If another movie about another annoying self-absorbed white guy getting “famous” and immediately becoming a disloyal, cheating weirdo who parades around ruining the lives and marriages of all the people around him, wins and gets nominated for best picture, I am canceling my AMC A-List subscription, never watching another biopic again, and deleting every single streaming app I own. 

If you don’t live under a rock, you may have heard of what’s known as a “fit check” or an “OOTD” (Outfit Of The Day), a trend which has grown increasingly popular on social media. Each OOTD consists of a person or group of people pointing out different items of clothing and naming the brands of each piece for people to observe. High school is all about observing others. Did you see what blah blah blah posted? Guess who so and so is dating! What brands are people wearing? Whether you’ll admit it or not, you want to know. So I did all the work for you. Here is my masterpiece, Real School Fits. 

There is an old story about the power of a single word: maybe. The idea is that whatever crosses your path, maybe is bad or maybe is good. The main idea is to have the patience to see things through. The story starts with a farmer and his son; they have a horse, and one day the horse decides to run off. Then, the whole village comes by and says, “That’s so awful.” The farmer replies with a simple  “maybe.” Then, a couple of days later, the horse comes back with five more. Everybody in the village says, “That's amazing!” Then the farmer stays steadfast from the last remark, simply saying, “maybe.” A few days later, his son is riding one of the horses and falls and breaks his back. Everyone from the village is up in arms, saying how horrible that is. The farmer once again follows up with one simple but true statement, “maybe.” Finally, when the generals came through looking for soldiers for war, they skipped over the farmer’s son because of his back, and all the town said, “That’s so great,” and the farmer responded with “maybe.” This seems to continue despite the situation, and truthfully, it is something that I have seen as tangible in my own life. The main idea is to have the patience to see things through.

With the film “Michael” coming out in April 2026, I felt it was a good time to review Michael Jackson’s solo music career. As a teenager born in the late 2000’s, I know of Michael Jackson and his masterpieces that have stood the test of time, but I really don’t know the “gems” that die-hard MJ fans know. I also feel like Michael Jackson really only has three amazing albums, so doing this review will answer that assumption for me. I’ll only be going through true solo albums, as well as only albums he was alive for. That means no “XSCAPE” (2014) or “Michael” (2010). I’ll be ranking the albums on a scale of 1-10 based on production, vocals, skipability (songs that I skip), and number of bangers in the album; I’ll give my top ten songs as well.

Imagine with me, if you will—it is a dark December night. You’re snowed in at your house, and you’re looking for something brand new to watch. Now let me introduce you to three movies that will change your life forever: Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man’s Chest, and At World’s End.

Ah, the ‘60s. An era filled with The Beatles, hippie music, moon landings, and the effort to put as much gelatin as possible into the American diet. We may scoff at the bizarre creations housewives with too much free time managed to cook up, but all of us would be lying if we said we haven’t been curious what chicken salad trapped in jello would taste like. Fortunately for you, I was curious enough to actually try these recipes. Unfortunately for me, I was curious enough to actually try these recipes.

Each crochet object hangs over a podium surrounded by cameras—who is going to come out on top? Pattern designers: Crochetkit or SGIBYN (tutorials makers), the battle for the best plants begins!

I have always loved the world of Oz, even before I found out the wicked witch of the west had a heartfelt backstory. As a longtime fan of the original Wicked musical, I have been counting down the days since the first movie came out for the second part to be released.

Among the top 250 most-streamed artists in the world on Spotify, Noah Kahan, with over 25 million monthly listeners, is an artist who is very well known for creating folk-pop music. Throughout his artistic career, Kahan has released, in total, 6 pieces of music–3 studio albums, 2 EP’s, and one live album. Kahan, having just finished an album in November of 2025, is planning on releasing his newest album soon. I believe that I have a good sense of Kahan’s best work, as I’ve listened to over 300,000 minutes of music in the last three years, with Kahan adding up to over 10,000 minutes. In this article, I will look into five of these pieces (excluding his live piece) and rank them based on personal enjoyment, lyrics, and overall album cohesion.

You’re laying in bed and scrolling on TikTok when you come across a video of a girl in her 20’s raving about how this new addition to her morning routine has changed her life. Her bloating has gone down immensely, her skin has completely cleared up, and her overall mood has boosted. She goes on about how the Coconut Cult yogurt is the “fix all” for any possible gut issues and all of her viewers NEED to go out and buy their own jar. A spoonful a day will make you a whole new person.

Horror movies began to be popularized in 1974 with The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and the virality only skyrocketed in the decades to come. Now, horror movies come along every month of the year in all shapes and sizes. However, not all horror movies make an impact like classic horror movies do

As the freezing air touches our delicate skin- it begins to crack, peel, and sometimes even burn. The winter v.s. Delicate skin can be an excruciating battle, and oftentimes it seems like there is nothing you can do to win the battle. As someone who has struggled with acne for the past six years, finding a moisturizer that works for you can be extremely hard, but thanks to my extensive field experience, I have tried and thrown away plenty of moisturizers. In this review I will be covering what moisturizers are worth it through their actual moisturizing ability, the texture, and how it reacts to delicate skin. 

Salsa. A typical Mexican condiment which has turned into a beloved staple all throughout the World. Whether you are eating it as a topping for your Mexican meal, or with a bag of chips, salsa will never go out of style.

As longtime fans of the original broadway musical, many Wicked enthusiasts, including myself, were on the edge of their seats waiting for this musical movie adaptation to hit the screens, only to be completely thrown off by the wonders of this story being brought to life in every aspect.

Almost two years since releasing her global record-breaking album Midnights, international singer/songwriter/performer Taylor Swift has swept the charts once again and stolen everyone’s attention with her brand-new double album that broke even her own records. The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, a double album, has 31 songs filled with some of the most heartbreaking and vulnerable songs that Swift has ever released. In the wake of not one, but two public relationships crumbling into pieces with all eyes on her, the media has made endless theories about what and who these songs are really about.

We’ve always been told by our English teachers “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Saying that the ugliest book could have the greatest story inside, so don’t just look at the appearance and pass judgment. As much as we are told this as kids we still judge books by their covers and how pretty they look. Even experienced book lovers, which I do count myself as, still judge books by their cover, and even every once in a while we cave into the need of just picking a really pretty book that would look good on our trophy case. I mean our bookshelves. There is a stereotype though that if you pick up a pretty book it’s either a really bad story or super dark.

French fries: the iconic American side-dish, hamburger sidekick, and milkshake’s savory counterpart. There are a number of fast food places around our school that distribute well known fries, which are still commonly debated on which is better. We took it upon ourselves to spend an afternoon after practice to go around Jenks and rate these fries on a very scientific scale that we invented.
