24 hours in the life of a student
December 3, 2021 — by Shaan Sridhar

I’m a walking contradiction. I say I’m smart, but I barely manage to finish my homework. I tell myself I have good music taste, but I only listen to BTS, Taylor Swift and Polo G. And I want a partner sooo badly, even though I have no game. I’m a typical student at Saratoga High. […]

No, Dave Chappelle, crudely mocking vulnerable groups isn’t funny
"
December 2, 2021 — by Benjamin Li

Known for his stand-up comedy shows, comedian Dave Chappelle has received major backlash for his Netflix special, “The Closer,” which premiered on Oct. 5. While Chappelle built his career on boundary-pushing offensive jokes, his recent digs at the LGBTQ+ community have been pinned by critics for going too far. Despite this backlash, Chappelle has not […]

Immigrant celebrates Chinese New Year with unusual ‘family’
"
December 2, 2021 — by Selina Chen

Hanging an up-side-down “福” (fú) on the door for good fortune, making dumplings and watching the Spring Festival Gala used to be the staples of every Chinese New Year for me. Although my immediate family — my parents, my brother and I — lived in Beijing while the rest of our relatives were scattered across […]

Hot pot: Not your traditional Christmas dinner
"
December 2, 2021 — by Serena Li

Note: I suggest listening to “火锅底料” (“Hot Pot Soup Base”), an upbeat Sichuanese rap song, as you read the story.   The classic roast turkey with a side of cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes with mouthwatering gravy and apple pie are dishes that have never appeared on my family’s dining table during the holidays. Instead, we […]

Top 10 lyrics that make no sense
"
December 2, 2021 — by Apurva Chakravarthy

“There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti” from “Lose Yourself” by Eminem I understand the concept, but the execution here was as messy as mom’s spaghetti.   “Don’t be scared, ’cause I’m your body type” from “Cool for the Summer” by Demi Lovato  Thanks for the reassurance, but why would I be scared that […]

We love astrology!
"
December 1, 2021 — by Shreya Rallabandi and Joann Zhang

Astrology — specifically, a watered-down, easily digestible version of astrology — has taken over the minds of young, TikTok-active teens.  Admittedly, the astrology fad has been a catalyst for some pretty annoying online and in-person interactions. But under all the compatibility analyses and facile, ignorant astro-dogma, astrology is, at its core, a real practice with […]

Hanukkah is the most wonderful time of the year
"
December 1, 2021 — by Zachary Zinman

The smell of delicious Latkes fills my house every year around December as mesmerizing, bright candles burn slowly on the dining room table. My family has nothing but smiles on our faces as we celebrate the beloved holiday of Hanukkah. There is no other feeling like waking up the morning of the first night of […]

"
December 1, 2021 — by Atrey Desai and Arnav Swamy

Much like the tides, the culture of today’s teenagers has ebbed and flowed. Games like “Fortnite” and trends like fidget spinners have had their time in the spotlight, but a quintessential staple to teenage entertainment is Finnish mobile game company, Supercell. The company has released five games globally, with arguably the most impactful being “Clash […]

‘Sexy Beasts’: appealing but disappointing
"
November 29, 2021 — by Meher Bhatnagar and Harshini Velchamy

Honestly, we didn’t think it was possible for Netflix to be more out of pocket — until we saw that “Sexy Beasts” got renewed for Season 2. For those of you who aren’t familiar, “Sexy Beasts” is Netflix’s rendition of “The Masked Singer,” a popular FOX TV program released in 2019 in which contestants are […]

Exploring universal shower thoughts
"
November 29, 2021 — by Meher Bhatnagar and Kavya Patel

After a monotonous day of feeling stressed and lethargic at school, 7th period always has us thinking about running home and taking a comforting warm shower. Stepping in and turning on the tap automatically makes our minds wander, filling our heads with random questions. Our thought process when we enter the shower tends to follow […]
