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! Also I am well aware that the Postseason was 2 months ago, but this article was in editorial purgatory. The 2025 World Series is in the books and oh boy, this postseason was an absolute thriller. The World Series featured a modern dynasty and the hottest team of the regular season (what more could you want!?). We saw Shohei Ohtani,

Can you pronounce all the ingredients in a vape?
Art by Simone Modina Heavy metals. Diacetyl. Benzene. Cadmium. Acrolein. Formaldehyde. While these may seem like dangerous chemicals found in plastics, fumes, and other carcinogenic substances, these difficult-to-pronounce ingredients are all found in a product that 1.63 million youths in the U.S. consume: vapes. Why is vape use so prevalent in teenagers? Why do powerful businesses target vulnerable children, killing them slowly for revenue? Why can’t teens quit? It all dr

The history of Halloween
Art Drawn by Emaline Varava Halloween is a holiday celebrated by millions of people around the world and is known for its festive, spooky spirit. However, it wasn’t always like this.

Best places to thrift
Art by Afreen Majumdar Just like many other people, I love thrifting. Whether you’re a hardcore thrifter, or just starting, I think that we can all agree that thrifting is an ideal weekend activity. All you need is a couple of dollars, a few hours, a pair of gloves, and you’re ready. When I had to start buying my own clothes, I immediately fled to my local Goodwill. From the ripe age of 10, I found my passion for thrifting in a bin full of clothes and a pair of plastic gloves

What does ERHS think of the phone ban?
Art by Faye Deetsch Welcome back Eagles to another year of school! Back to school also means saying goodbye to our phones, as Eagle Rock has refined its phone ban policy. Last year, many remember that we were expected to put our phones away in the infamous Yondr pouches at the beginning of first/fifth period.
