Gaming awards this winter, The Game Awards and The Indie Game Awards, leave a stain on our minds and many other gamers. Were the results deserved? AI was so heavily used in developing the start of the show, the results were questionable to say the least. Expedition 33, developed by Sandfall Interactive, was released April 24, 2025, originally to great acclaim and praise. As more details came out on the development and team behind the game, though, a controversial landslide was created regarding the awards it took home.
Oswego continues to grow with a population of over 35,000 people, and as new developments are being built along Wolf’s Crossing and along Route 34, more pressure is added to the area’s infrastructure. One such site is the former Traughber Junior High School, locally known as "Old Traughber," which has been used as the Oswego 308 Center, YMCA, and Senior Center. It has earned a lot of attention recently as it was sold by SD308 and is to be demolished and replaced with a residential development. JM Development initially proposed the development to the Village Planning and Zoning Commission Sept 4. After the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended not to approve the plan, JM Development revised it and proposed it to the Village Board of Trustees on Oct. 21, where it was unanimously approved.
Revenge bedtime procrastination, or RBP, is defined as intentionally putting aside sleep in order to reclaim personal time for oneself. This often involves doom scrolling on social media or watching television. “You know, there are so many things that can happen to a body when you don't have enough sleep," said OH psychology and social studies teacher Gregorey Verdino. "Things like too much cortisol in the bloodstream [[can happen with RBP]].” Many students, including myself, have fallen victim to this phenomenon. When a student's schedule consists of school, a sport, and a part-time job, the day is no longer theirs. They aim to make up for that at night.
Every January, it seems like everyone’s thinking one of two things: “I can’t wait to work on my New Year’s resolution!” or “I can’t believe anyone still makes New Year’s resolutions.” “It's kind of hard to set yourself to one goal, especially [[during]] one of the busiest times of the year,” said OH junior Alex Rausch, in an AVID class which talks about goal-setting. It’s always good to self-reflect, and resolutions remind people to do that, but they aren’t always that helpful. “People will [[make resolutions]] just because it's in culture and not because they actually want to make the change,” said Jessica Kawulia, an OH Social Studies teacher.
