Music Review: The Complexities of Our Lives
FERNANDO ALVAREZ, Staff Writer Throughout our lives, whether currently, when we're younger, or when we're older and have gone through society for a while, we always question the feelings we have, the pressures put upon us, and how to work through society and our own emotions. Despite how much we all differ, we always debate who we are and where we should go next, whether by ourselves or with others who are similar to us. These songs by Flavor Foley, whether many or few can r

Why YOU Should Join BAND!
BHAVANA BHARADWAJ, Staff Writer Before we even start this article, I must say that this is in direct opposition of Jay Pindipol and his anti-band agenda. Mind you, this is the same person who plays every single band instrument known to bandkind! So before you even TOUCH his article, understand that ou are consuming the writing of a very biased individual. And so we begin, the Band vs. Orchestra Wars! To start us off, how about we list some reasons why you should join band:

Why YOU Should Join Orchestra, NOT Band
JAY PINDIPOL, Staff Writer We all know the feeling of when you reach the third grade and you were given the privilege to learn an instrument.

Giants Hit Reset for a New Era in NY
SAANVI LAMBA, Editor-in-Chief On Monday, November 10, 2025, the New York Giants made a move that left fans like me in shambles: they fired head coach Brian Daboll. Daboll, who first took charge in 2022, gave the team hope almost immediately, bringing the Giants back to the playoffs for the first time since the 2016 season. That 2022 season, the Giants finished 9‑7‑1 and even pulled off a playoff win- something Giants fans had been dreaming of since the days of Eli Manning pl

Cookies, Candy, and Hungry Squirrels
DHYANI PATEL, Staff Writer This Halloween was one of the best Halloweens I've ever experienced. My friend and I dressed up as Max and Goofy, and honestly, it couldn't have been any better. The weather was perfectly chilly and cozy, with the red and orange leaves covering the sidewalks, which made everything feel warm and way more magical, even in the cold. We went trick or treating all around the neighborhood, laughing, running from house to house, and walking until our fee

The Use of AI in School
BHAVANA BHARADWAJ, Staff Writer As a student in 2025, it is difficult to not come across the use of Chat GPT or any AI-powered platform. Just about every student I know uses it. Though AI is unavoidable in our modern world, is it truly ethical? No, it is not. When ignoring the terrible effect that AI has on our environment, there is still shame attached to using it. As young students, it's hard to acknowledge the environment as something we should even care about. How can o
