Senior Column: Finding a home away from home
When I was a little girl, I struggled to get up in the morning for school. It was always something with me, whether I pretended to throw up or I miraculously gained a headache within 30 minutes of waking up. I was the queen of excuses... and then COVID hit. Being stuck in my room was the least of my worries; it only brought the love to stay in my room to be at an all-time high, as the world was fearing for what was to come of this virus.

Tomodachi Life: Living the dream or ACNH’s reheated nachos?
When you think of popular games in the 2010s, your mind may go to Tomodachi Life, a social simulator game for the 3DS. With its wide customization of “Mii” characters, ranging from different hairstyles, faces, and even a new face paint tool to free-hand any custom designs. With an island for your Mii’s to roam around, talk to others, and decide that a lightpost is necessary in the middle of the beach.

Video: OH students prepare for spring ACT
State-wide testing has never failed to stress out students. Even with in-class preparation and support, some feel unprepared, may not care about it, or feel unmotivated to do well. It’s a tale as old as time, being confused about what’s going to occur on the day-of. OH ACT Prep teacher Thomas Hart is determined for all of his students to feel well prepared, motivated, and capable of their abilities to thrive during the test. “We start the semester with a base line of practice tests. We also have a textbook where we’ve done a lot of practice sets because that’s really what we’re trying to focus on” said Hart.
