I Can’t Talk - I’m Doomscrolling
In a world full of constant communication, it’s never been harder to talk to my friends. Before you read on, think about something for a minute: when was the last time you had a real conversation with a peer? I don’t mean “Have you done the math homework yet?” or even “Where’s your shirt from?” I mean an actual conversation with real substance and authenticity. If you answered that it’s been a while, I have a theory as to why that might be. We use our phones, and social medi

My Experience with Opal
This year, Trevor has taken its first major step towards reducing student screen time with the introduction of a new phone policy supported by the screen-time-management app Opal. A select group of students–myself among them–is participating in a trial program for a few weeks in the fall in order to help the administration understand how Opal works in a real school environment and whether it could meaningfully change student behavior. At its core, Opal is designed to help u

Confessions of a Teenage Fashionista
I tend to become invested in critical societal and environmental issues only to realize that my commitment rarely extends beyond good intentions.

It all started with the HBO documentary I watched a little over a year ago, Brandy Hellville & The Cult of Fast Fashion . The film exposed Brandy Melville, the incredibly popular teen clothing store, revealing its CEO’s corrupt and predator

TikTok has been at the forefront of a nationwide debate, with some celebrating its potential ban and others protesting what they view as an attack on the freedom of expression. On the evening of January 18th, when the app went dark for 170 million American users, teens and adults alike were outraged. However, some viewed this ban as a positive change.

Opinion: I’m Jewish, and I Love Ye’s Music
I’m Jewish, and I love Ye’s music. But I feel guiltier listening to the artist formerly known as Kanye West than I do eating a pork dumpling.

One of the most important and complicated aspects of the yearbook is picking the theme. On this topic, Yearbook Editor Liv C. ’26 said that “coming up with a good theme w
