A little over a year and a half ago, I stumbled upon an app called 8 Tracks where people can put up various playlists of different types of music and categorize it by mood, artist, or genre. I was just getting used to the app and how it worked and ended up spending a lot of time looking through playlist after playlist until I came across one titled “Music For Your Brain." It caught my eye so I gave...

Very rarely does a type of music or band come along that is able to completely shift my world view. About two years ago, my sister introduced me to the song ‘Chocolate’ by a band from The United Kingdom that not many people had heard of. The second I heard the rhythmic and hypnotic chords from the guitar I knew that I had found something amazing. Flash forward and I’m now listening to their mu...

Books are a way to open up the mind and take vacations without leaving the couch. They transport us to different places and times; Panem, the futuristic city of Chicago and Hogwarts. It’s no lie that genres such as Sci-fi, dystopian and fantasy books, that have since been turned into movies, have been dominating the scene for a while now. One book that is dominating in it’s genre is The Kiss of Decep...

Asian food is the most fire cuisine known to man. Be it sushi from Japan or General Tso’s chicken from the place next to Subway, it is all delicious. I still stare in awe at anyone with the audacity to say, “Chinese food is gross.” I would have to disagree due to the sweetness of crab rangoon, and the savoriness of cashew chicken. Some may say it is a little bit overboard to like Chinese f...

I enjoy playing an instrument because it has opened the door to many different opportunities. Whether I’m part of the marching band or performing a solo, playing the trumpet has given me a new sense of purpose, an opportunity to express myself. It has provided me the chance to make many new friends within the band program, while also strengthening the bonds with old friends. It teaches one how to ...

Spoiler Alert: The three Captain America movies will be mentioned below. If you haven’t seen some, please be advised.  The Marvel Cinematic Universe is full of complex characters with a variety of backgrounds and personalities. The relatability of characters makes them so lovable and realistic. For example, Tony Stark (or Iron Man), lost his parents which has haunted him for most of his life...

Many people around school know me as the “Bagel Kid,” “Bread Boy,” or even as “Mother Bread.” It may be strange, but I have a deep passion for Panera Bread. Not only do I have a part-time job there, but it's also my go-to place for getting homework done, hanging out with friends or just to relax for a little while. There are many people out there who use the national bakery-cafe chain ...
