I’ll be honest, I’ve always been more of a tea connoisseur, but an occasional cup of coffee here and there is always enjoyable. When my Instagram and TikTok feeds began flooding with this visually pleasing “whipped coffee”, it was my next mission to try this trendy beverage.

State-wide quarantine has made quite a few changes to schooling over the past few months, from having to find alternative solutions for things as small as spirit week and as big as graduation, to the complete dependence on technology for instruction and working on schoolwork. While a class like history or a foreign language might have only a little trouble adjusting to this new way of learning, some other classes aren’t as fortunate. Among these classes include performing arts such as drama, choir, and sculpture, the teachers of which are finding it harder than ever to integrate integral aspects of their curriculum into online learning techniques like using Canvas or Zoom.

As all are well aware, not all businesses during this harsh time are open for business. Businesses that are considered essential by the government are open including grocery stores, emergency services (hospitals, police stations, etc.), waste, and a lot more businesses listed on the Washington State Government official website. Now, some may wonder what are the “nonessential” businesses doing to stay in business? I work at Yelm Cinemas, a nonessential business at this time. I myself and many other employees were given the opportunity to work during this time doing curbside order and pickup of popcorn and candy at our location for the first time ever. My general manager Noah Aden had announced the occurrence of this event on the Yelm Cinemas Facebook page and the community response was astounding. Here is what some of my coworkers had to say about it.

In the midst of quarantine one of the only ways we are able to connect with our peers is through social media, and that burning need for connection teens have has led to an abundance of new trends. Some of these trends are admittedly really sweet and wholesome like tagging people to share their favorite moment from the sport they played, having girls share a picture where they feel beautiful, or sharing your favorite music in a 30 day challenge. They are fun things to do that can not only help you remember the good times while being confined in your house, but also help you keep a social connection with people you can not see at the moment.

In light of news about school being cancelled for the rest of the school year, that unfortunately also means the cancellation of big school events including prom. This news is terribly disappointing for those who looked forward to the event prophesied of by Disney Channel high schoolers for generations. And although it is indeed tragic to miss out on the memories that could have been made this past weekend, on the bright side, it was pretty expensive. So to celebrate saving money, and also not miss out on prom, here’s a step by step tutorial, on how to throw Prom at home!
