The 2025 MLB postseason; the good, the bad and the disappointing.
Disclaimer: This article is purely informational and unbiased in all aspects. I am a neutral fan and do not have a particular team who I support!

The World Series featured a modern dynasty and the hottest team of the regular season (what more could you want!?). We saw Shohei Ohtani,

Every year, the holidays feel sooner and sooner.

A guide to reading classics
Art by Afreen Majumdar My first experience with classical literature came when I was in fifth grade during our quarantine bubble–I opened up Great Expectations by Charles Dickens... and proceeded to close it three chapters later. Even now, opening a book brimming with big words and old English is still intimidating. Back then I couldn’t comprehend how anyone would willingly read books that didn’t seem to make a whole lot of logical sense. This summer, however, I set out to do

Foster kittens at the North American Animal Shelter!
Art by Afreen Majumdar As soon as I get home everyday, I am greeted by two cats who eagerly await my arrival. This wouldn’t be the case if I didn’t choose to volunteer at the North Central Animal Shelter two years ago! Let me explain all of the in between to you. As I entered the shelter last spring, I headed straight to the area dedicated to cats. When I’d volunteered a couple weeks before the area had been practically unoccupied so I was pleasantly surprised to find that it

The newest slice in LA: a quick review of Bub & Grandma’s Pizza
All art and photos by Evie Campbell The beloved Town Pizza was recently replaced with another veteran LA business: Bub & Grandma’s.
