From just watching nail TikToks, OH senior Nina Segarra was inspired to do her own Gel-X nails, which sprouted a new business that quickly gained popularity among her friends and family.
“I started because it’s so expensive to go to a salon," Segarra explained, "and I hated acrylic nails. So I wanted to try something else, like Gel-X, because it has been trending on TikTok.”
Segarra started doing her own nails in early 2025, shortly after she started practicing on her friends for free. As she gained more experience and confidence in her work, she decided to make a business of it and created her Instagram account @nails_n1na.
Culinary and Restaurant Management courses have been popular at OH for many years as students put their skills to use for others. And there is a reason why they're popular: the results are delicious.
Students in these courses have served teachers, staff, and students a variety of meals throughout the year.
Just yesterday, students in Restaurant Management served up the end-of-year barbeque for teachers, which included hot dogs, hamburger patties, grilled corn-on-the-cob, a variety of desserts, and more.
OH hallways and classrooms are filled with squishy ice creams, donuts, gumdrops, and plenty more.
Needohs are making a bigger and better return since their first wave of popularity in the mid 2010s, bringing stress relief and a little fun back into students' daily lives.
Needohs, which are made in many different shapes and designs, are often collected for their unique shapes. OH junior Payton Forbes said, “My favorite Needoh is the ice cream [[one]] or the cool cat.”
As the school year comes to a close, OH students find themselves with more free time, and they are planning what they’re going to do with it.
Sleep? Hardly. Students report aiming to use their time to practice a new skill, taking in concerts, or soaking up the leisure time with friends.
“With Color Guard, I'm gonna try to audition for it next week, and I'm going to, hopefully, make the team, and practice and perform with everybody," said OH freshman Teaghan Cooley.
On a street corner in a quaint area of Yorkville, Illinois, one of the coolest attractions in all of Illinois lies. The Law Office is a bar that seems normal on the outside, but deeper within rests a special history that is hard to find anywhere else.
