Initially, I was skeptical of Colleen Hoover’s best-selling book “It Ends With Us”. As I opened the first page, I was nervous the novel would be just another cliche romance read. Would my predictions hold true? “It Ends With Us” has been adored by a wide age range and is touted as one of the best romance books of all time by BookTok (TikTok’s home for book lovers). With “internet...

Among teaching several different classes, each with individualized material, and mentoring hundreds of students, teachers must also find time for grading and creating lesson plans, while still taking care of themselves and their families. And this is just inside the classroom. Most teachers also serve in other positions, as coaches, mentors, supervisors, and more. But...

The creamy, flavor-infused milk tea travels through my straw, followed by a small, chewy sphere of tapioca. These are just two of the possible components used to make one of my favorite drinks: boba tea. Without knowing I was just a pop, sip, and a chew away from deliciousness, I stepped into the cozy atmosphere of the Yumchaa bubble tea shop at South 74th Plaza, Omaha NE. Inside, the setup was...

Commemorating Colors

Emily Schmucker, Staff Writer | May 5, 2023

Colors of all kinds fly through the air. Everyone within reach experiences a shower of vibrant, rainbow powders known as gulal. The powder meshes onto their clothes, sinks into their scalps, and stains their bodies. People laugh, dance, and celebrate the coming of the spring season. This is the festival of Holi. Holi is an ancient Hindu tradition that embraces the triumph of good over evil and welcomes...

Building A Braiding Business

Mahika Kanchanam, In-Depth Editor | May 5, 2023

Most girls have experienced getting in trouble for secretly braiding a friend's hair at the back of the classroom in elementary school or making it the main activity of every sleepover. It’s hard to pass up the opportunity to brag about your braiding skills. However, most of us don’t think about turning this into our own business.  Madison Jensen is currently a sophomore running her own braiding...

Touchdowns and Traditions

Rebecca Jacobsen, Co-Editor-in-Chief | February 14, 2023

You pile your plate with chips, dip, pizza, and endless snacks. Picking up a can of Mountain Dew, you walk into your living room just in time to hear cheers erupting from your family– your team has just scored a touchdown. Meanwhile, your younger sister is sitting in the other room, waiting for the next commercial break and, more importantly, the halftime show.  This atmosphere could only be...

A Reconnaissance For Records

Mia Castro, Staff Writer | February 14, 2023

I glance at my phone. It’s 7:07 PM. I have to get home, tomorrow’s a school night! Still, I feel I’m missing something on my visit to my favorite spot in Omaha, the Old Market.  My exhale in the frigid winter air clears to reveal a wide window covered in posters. I tentatively step toward the entrance, slowly creaking open the door, shivering slightly. The air of old records, incense, and...

Feels Like Christmas

Sadie Hugelman, Sports Editor | January 5, 2023

Walking down Howard Street of the Old Market, street lamps lit up the brick road.  The weather was brisk and windy and my hands shook from the cold. Snow trailed the ground as I stepped into a shop with vine detailing and Christmas lights trailing up the sides to find some warmth-- the Tannenbaum Christmas Shop.  Instantly captured in the Christmas spirit, I decided to look around for a while.  Entering...
