In the know: Senior Cameron McTee takes some time during lunch to check Twitter. He scrolled through his feed to get updated on trending topics. “Twitter is probably the best social media app to to see what is going on and being talked about in general because it shows you trending things and suggested tweets instead of just posts from who you follow,” McTee said.

I Wish: Seniors at Lake Stevens High School take a poll, addressing which class they wished they would have taken in their high school career. These classes, help students not just by getting more credits towards their diploma, but help them take advantage in the real world. I took Personal Finance, but this is the best class to learn about adulting and what you dont learn [in classes at school], senior Megan LaBay said.

Ignored patients: Medical gaslighting is an ongoing problem in our society, and it needs to be recognized. Affecting women, especially women of color, medical gaslighting is a dangerous act that can cause a patient harm and possibly even death. Medical gaslighting should not be overlooked, sophomore Marrianna Shea said.

YouTube sensation, Emma chamberlain flaunts the necklace of the Patalia royalty at the 2022 Met Gala. After disappearing from the Patiala treasury, the heirloom De Beers diamond wasnt spotted for another 34 years. Certain clothes and jewelry have a cultural significance which is often washed away when people wear them just for aesthetics. In this instance, that necklace had a lot of history and importance behind it. Especially considering that it was stolen from Indian royalty. It’s just wrong and disrespectful for her as an influencer to wear to an event that doesn’t benefit south Asians in any way or highlights them. She wore it for her own benefit which I believe is so disrespectful, junior Fernanda Chavez Hernandez said.

Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper is a computer-animated musical film released on DVD in 2004. “My dad worked a lot and so did my mom, I was too little to be on my own so anywhere I would go they would bring Barbie DVDs with them,” junior Gabi Prieto said.

The first generation of Barbie films encapsulate exemplary storytelling

Despite modern Barbie animation being of higher quality, classic Barbie films far surpass their predecessors in storytelling, characterization, and soundtracks.

Beach Lover: On days when the sun is shining, head to Mukilteo Beach for a picnic or a walk and enjoy the sounds of the waves gently crashing on the shore. Mukilteo Beach is one of the closest beaches to Lake Stevens, but also one of the most beautiful due to the view of the Possession Sound and Whidbey Island. “My one thing I would say to underclassmen about summer is soak it in, really enjoy your summer. I did not enjoy my summers and I took my summers for granted. Enjoy your summer. Live it up to the fullest. Because youre gonna make your best memories within your high school summers in my opinion,” senior Amanda Comfort said.

Decisions, decisions: sophomore Mackenzie Dunkin searches for a book in the Lake Stevens High School library. The LSHS library has nineteen sections, split onto the second and third floors of the East building. My favorite thing about our library is probably the way its set up. I really like how each shelf is a different genre, sophomore Katie Cook said.
