December 2, 2022 — by Sanjoli Gupta
When the holiday season comes around, everyone looks forward to Christmas cookies. A glass of chilled milk accompanied by warm chocolate chip cookies are a staple of the season.

‘All I Want for Christmas’ … is this song to end
December 2, 2022 — by William Norwood
Every winter since its release in 1994, Mariah Carey’s version of  “All I Want for Christmas is You” climbs the Billboard charts and becomes one of the biggest songs in America all over again — but doesn’t it deserve it.

My collection of ‘stolen’ hotel property
December 1, 2022 — by Derek Liang
Everyone has a collection of some type of things. For me, they’re hotel room cards — little memories of places I’ve visited.  My first time collecting a card was by accident.

‘Enola Holmes 2’: An overhyped and underwhelming sequel
November 30, 2022 — by Anika Kapasi
Editor’s note: Spoilers ahead. The hype leading up to the release of “Enola Holmes 2” on Nov. 4 made me excited to see the development of Enola’s character and her relationship with Lord Tewkesbury as a new mystery unraveled.  Even with the pleasing development of the characters and the female empowerment addressed remarkably, watching the […]

November 30, 2022 — by Beverly Xu and Maggie Zeng
Recently, mukbangs — videos of people eating often large quantities of food — have sprung up online. To find out why they’re so popular, we decided to investigate the trend.

Good note-taking strategies improve study efficiency
November 30, 2022 — by Skyler Mao
As my class lecture ends, I put my pencil down and stare at the pages of notes I laboriously took. Graphite on paper, an illegible block of chicken scratch stares back. I utter a dejected sigh as I quickly pack up, knowing that I’ll have a hard time studying for my upcoming test based on […]

The entire mall is in a frenzy with everyone ready to stake their territory and claim the cheapest items they can find. Flash forward to 2022: You’re typing away and clicking on as many […]
