Ah, the ‘60s. An era filled with The Beatles, hippie music, moon landings, and the effort to put as much gelatin as possible into the American diet. We may scoff at the bizarre creations housewives with too much free time managed to cook up, but all of us would be lying if we said we haven’t been curious what chicken salad trapped in jello would taste like. Fortunately for you, I was curious enough to actually try these recipes. Unfortunately for me, I was curious enough to actually try these recipes.

Everyone knows that when the holiday season comes around, the thing you wish for most is a drink in hand. You want that taste of Christmas—fresh peppermint and holiday cheer—all swirled into one small sip, or in other cases, a giant gulp. The question is, which place can best give you all of those feelings and flavors wrapped into one?

After traveling to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, and 7 times to Cambodia, Andrew Morris has the right to say he’s been around. He’s built orphanages, taught English, fed the less fortunate, preached, and fundraised on his voyages.

Among the top 250 most-streamed artists in the world on Spotify, Noah Kahan, with over 25 million monthly listeners, is an artist who is very well known for creating folk-pop music. Throughout his artistic career, Kahan has released, in total, 6 pieces of music–3 studio albums, 2 EP’s, and one live album. Kahan, having just finished an album in November of 2025, is planning on releasing his newest album soon. I believe that I have a good sense of Kahan’s best work, as I’ve listened to over 300,000 minutes of music in the last three years, with Kahan adding up to over 10,000 minutes. In this article, I will look into five of these pieces (excluding his live piece) and rank them based on personal enjoyment, lyrics, and overall album cohesion.

As a teenage girl who is very into watching movies, horror is probably my favorite movie genre—and not just during Halloween. Watching the more popular horror movies nowadays, I’ve noticed something; I see the same faces over and over again. We can’t say we haven’t noticed Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter in almost every Tim Burton movie, or Anya Taylor-Joy in a psychological thriller, or in high-stress films.

What is it about them that makes viewers not get tired of their faces and not feel like they’re overused? I think it has something to do with their features that give them that horror movie “aesthetic.”

Some call it the most dangerous sport. Some say it's not even a sport at all. Cheer has always been at the center of attention for one reason or another. From doing stunts on football sidelines to bringing the energy at pep rallies, cheerleaders are always pouring their energy into getting the crowd hyped for whatever sport they need. Most viewers might think that's all they do.

When you ask an athlete why they do their sport, the answers you may receive vary so dramatically that you could hear so many different answers, it feels inconceivable.

Someone saying “they make it look effortless” is just about the highest praise you can get in sports. Seeing an athlete make their sport look so effortless begs the question, “Could I do what they’re doing?”
