Q&A: Are you ready for the ACT?
"Personally I'm going to get really bored, but I don't see myself switching to a different app," junior Laila Rogers said. "I've been thinking I've needed a break from TikTok for a while now, so this is really just an excuse for me to take that break. It'll probably be really good for me."
Q&A: Are you ready for the end of TikTok?
“I hung out with my family and loved ones, eating really, really good food," junior Mia Musemici said. "I had the best mac and cheese ever. I had brisket and pulled pork, turkey, loaded mashed potatoes and some good pie for dessert. Me and my family stayed in, but I also went to my boyfriend's house for his family's Thanksgiving. It was amazing. We played some family games, doing some holiday traditions.”
Q&A: DID YOU ENJOY YOUR THANKSGIVING BREAK?
"I'm watching it with my sister," sophomore Marleena Tabayan said. "I've never seen the Broadway version, but I grew up with the soundtrack. I have memories of her singing it out randomly so I love that we're watching it together."
Q&A: Are you watching 'Wicked'?
“Respectfully, I forgot the Grammys existed, but I believe that Charli XCX and Sabrina Carpenter got that in the bag. They have some big moments behind them.” senior Anagell Johnson said. “I personally haven’t listened to Brat, but I know of it, like everything is lime green on Instagram and there’s even a dress to impress update just for it, if I had to choose between them it would probably be Charli XCX.”
Q&A : Who Do You Think is Winning Best Album of the Year
"Yeah, I was following the elections really closely," junior KJ Palacios said. "With the results, I think we failed our own citizens. I can't believe so many people acknowledge the person that Trump is and still voted for him regardless. He's pretty much against me as a person, and it affects most of my friends. We're immigrants, we're part of the LGBTQ+ community. I think our near future is going to be terrible."
