Drivers need to slow down for the safety of students February 17, 2024 — by Grace Lin After school ends, hundreds of students walk home down Lexington Court, one of the roads in front of the Herriman Avenue entrance to the school that leads into the Golden Triangle neighborhood. While it seems like common sense for cars to slow down near schools, I’ve recently noticed multiple cars quickly zooming down these roads, […] read more » An influx of prequels and sequels reveals decline in the movie industry February 16, 2024 — by Zack Zhang From sequels and decades-old movies like “The Batman,” “Avatar” and “Top Gun” to prequels for already completed movies like the “Hunger Games” and “Kung Fu Panda,” Hollywood seems less and less inclined to bet on anything original and groundbreaking. But why is it so? Although super fans are thrilled to hear their favorite fictional characters […] read more » Dual enrollment provides college experience: Students should take advantage of it February 14, 2024 — by George Hu It’s a time-worn story at the school: Each year, in an effort to bolster college applications and resumes, hundreds of bleary-eyed, overstressed students overload themselves by taking multiple Advanced Placement (AP) or honors courses. There’s no doubt these classes are helpful for ambitious students. Their weighted GPAs go up, and they’re more prepared for college […] read more » The ‘neither-either’ grammar police need to check themselves February 13, 2024 — by Divya Vadlakonda Why is it that I can’t say “me, either?” It just sounds better than “me, neither,” with the “n” that is too grating on my tongue.

The word […] read more » Don’t buy the hype: Tote bags aren’t the holy grail February 4, 2024 — by Nika Svizhenko Every few months, new trends emerge on social media and incite a frenzy where everyone rushes to buy the latest clothing or product.
