Today, collecting designer figurines such as Labubu’s, Sonny Angels, and Smiskis have become popular collectable items, with hundreds of people trying to get their hands on one. These collectibles have gained immense popularity, changing the scope of collectibles from occasional purchases to overconsumption. “I store my figurines by hanging shelves and storing them there,” senior Donavan Leung said. “Honestly, what makes me excited when collecting figurines is when I get to open them and hang them up. It’s fun to open the figurines, especially since most of them are blind bags. I don’t buy them often, but when I see something I really like or want, I get it.”

Dating has encountered many changes, where traditional standards have become outdated due to cultural shifts. In the past, dating meant finding your romantic partner and developing deeper connections, but now dating has experienced changes in everything from gender roles, stages and communication, growing more complex. “We can go back all the way to early human civilization, the European model approach where we see that dating was superfluous, extra [and] unnecessary,” COM 101/102 teacher Henry Evans said. ”Weddings were more seen as a business transaction governed by families. Now we have Valentine’s Day and so many ways to wine and dine and lure people in for romantic interests.”
