The upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI) has generated excitement among students at OH and gamers worldwide in the lead up to its release on Nov. 19, 2026. Developed by Rockstar Games, the highly anticipated game has attracted attention for its improved graphics, open-world environment, and new gameplay features.
After years of anticipation and delays, players are eager to see whether GTA VI will live up to expectations. OH students have different reasons for looking forward to the release, from exploring the game’s map to experiencing improvements in its mechanics.
OH senior Ethan Pilip said, “I’m interested in GTA VI because of the graphics in the open world and the freedom to do different things that GTA V didn’t have.”
In late September, downtown Naperville welcomed Brandy Melville, and it has been the talk of the town since.
This new location has been quite popular with OH students since the nearest location previously was downtown Chicago. “Brandy” first opened in Italy in 1984; Los Angeles opened the first US store in 2009, and since then there have been 133 stores open worldwide.
Upon learning that celebrity singer/songwriter and humanitarian Dolly Parton had passed away, OH junior Ayaan Khan was one of the people who felt affected.
“I was really sad to hear about her passing because she was a really important person in music and entertainment," Khan said. "[[She]] also had a lot of impact on people around the world.”
Though Khan, like most people, never met Parton, she held a deep legacy through her stories of growing through hardship and finding kindness and beauty in the world.
“I was upset to hear about Parton's passing. She was an important person to everyone and changed a lot of people's lives,” OH junior Emma Villanueva said.
Khan and Villanueva are not alone in their feelings toward Parton. Today, Sept. 25, is being touted as "Dolly Parton Day," in honor of her popular song and the film in which she started, "9-to-5", which will return to theaters this October in honor of her legacy.
