  Education Advantages Everyday, one may wake up, eat breakfast, and head to school, groggily walking through the doors to the next 7 hours of your routine life. Even with COVID-19 restrictions in the past, students still don’t want to return to school; thoughts I am personally guilty of. Education is a privilege that only 46% of the world has access to. That is less than half of the world.  The minds of most common students revolve around schoolwork, friends, and sports. Many days they might not want to sit and listen to lengthy lectures, and continue on with that information at home in hourly homework assignments. But in other parts of the world, like the African country Ethiopia, the education remains less than satisfactory.  Lessons that are taught in most parts of North America are abundant unto students, adults, and children, and accessible on almost every platform imaginable. We take those lessons for granted.   The U.S education system allows every person...

  Last Sunday was a disappointing one for the Cleveland Browns, as they gave up a devastating loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. This game was not even close as it was a blowout with a score of 38 to 7 and unfortunately it was a  critical one for the Browns. Not only was this game a rivalry game, but it was also a game that the Browns needed to prove themselves in. The Browns have been off to a great start, in fact this is a historical start for the team, but one question remains for them and it is if they can hang with the other good teams in the league. So far, when the Browns have faced off against other great teams in the league such as the Ravens, or the Steelers, they have had losses handed to them, but they aren’t just losses, they were blowouts. Their losses are leaving people wondering if the Browns are really a good team this year, if they are able to contend for a playoff spot, but the most disappointing thing that these losses have left people wondering is if changes...

  On Saturday, Ariana Grande teased her upcoming album by posting a video on her Instagram grid and Twitter. In the video, she ran her hand across a green lit-up green keyboard to spell out what is presumably a single and album title, "P-O-S-I-T-I-O-N-S." This single, possibly called “Positions”, will allegedly release on October 30th. Ariana’s fans are super excited for this album and are using a countdown on Instagram until it releases. The coronavirus lockdown — much of which she spent at home in Los Angeles with her boyfriend, real estate agent Dalton Gomez , gave Grande plenty of time to write and record in the studio. She has been working on her album secretly for a couple of months, and none of her fans seemed to notice. Since the lockdown, the song “Stuck With You”, featuring Justin Beiber, has been released and fans did not expect another song or even album out so soon. “It’s a great time to create because you’re stuck with your thoughts and left in your head a li...

  This year, COVID-19 has been a real pain, and lately it seems that we can’t do anything anymore. However, just because you can’t go see a movie or go bowling, doesn’t mean you can’t look good. It’s officially fall, and with Halloween coming up, there’s so many fun and cute trends you can wear. Since it’s fall, it has gotten much colder than summer obviously, so dressing warm is a necessity. Some trendy jackets right now are Faux Fur jackets, jean jackets, and plaid blazers. The prices of this range from $60-$100 since they’re nicely made, and pretty popular right now. Mesh tops and blouses are also very trendy this year. Basically they’re see-through tops with small designs on them so you can wear something under them. They’re pretty cute, and cheap as well, because you can find them at a Forever 21. Another thing that’s really in this fall is baggy jeans. These are nice because you can get them practically anywhere, even thrift stores. Cargo pants are also bottoms that are t...

  The best decades are officially coming back! The fashion, music, and even the fame of older celebrities in their prime. One of the biggest things that are helping these eras regain fame are the iconic movies made during these decades. Some movies that have been regaining popularity are Clueless (1995), Scream (1996), Heathers (1988), and the famous Harry Potter series. During quarantine, many people started to binge-watch these golden timed movies which helped them regain fame. There’s a theory about fashion and pop culture called “nostalgia pendulum.” This means that what’s old is new again every 20 to 30 years. The reason for this is that nostalgia boosts your mood and is associated with homesickness. It reminds you of the past and its’ feel good vibe. That’s why with every new decade, an old one regains fame . The romantic comedy Clueless, premiered in the summer of 1995, has definitely regained its fame over the past years. The lovable, rich, and socially successful Cher...
