By Malleah H. Let's face it, sometimes school can seem to drag on forever. Whether it's a boring class or group work you may feel left out from, or even your own job. We have all had moments where we don't feel like doing anything but want to look busy. So here's some 8 different strategies (and harmless) ways to pretend you're doing work when you're not, from the perspective of a student at AHS who is really good at the art of looking busy. 8. Play a typing game. This will w

By Kassadi H. As high schoolers it can be very hard to wake up each morning and follow a specific, coordinated morning routine.  It can feel like a struggle to not want to sit in your bed and spend 5 more minutes sleeping or doom scrolling through different social media. I personally used to struggle with not wanting to get out of bed and spend a few more minutes in bed but, these are eight different ways to help you out of this struggle and improve your morning routine.  8.

By Jamarion L. & Madilyn B. Airport High School only sells two different kinds of cookies in the lunch line, which are chocolate chip and double chocolate chip. Some students want more variety, considering many students’ favorite cookies are not sold in the cafeteria. We are writing this article not only to show Airport that they need to sell more types of cookies but also to inform the cafeteria staff about what cookies they could potentially sell. As two aficionados of cook

By Emily H. South Carolina, also known as the Palmetto State, has many beaches, mountains, fun cities, and amazing nature. Whether you like relaxing on the beach, hiking in the woods, or exploring new places, there's something here for everyone. Many people at Airport high school are hard workers and deserve a break, even if they are only just teenagers. Therefore, this article contains locations across the state that everyone should visit at least once and that most teenager

By Alma M. & Kayley P. Hobbies are fun for teens to express themselves and explore their creativity and interests, though at Airport High School, students are often more focused on sports and gaming hobbies. But what about other hobbies like art and crafts, hiking, baking, and more? Even if hobbies don't draw the crowd's attention, it doesn't mean they don't deserve the spotlight. We believe every different kind of hobby deserves recognition for what makes it fun and exciting

By Natalee O. Unsolved cases can bring questions, tension, and more. Many students at Airport High School have the opportunity to take forensic science, criminology, or law classes where they take part in hands-on projects that allow them to understand how investigating works, or simply even just for a science credit. I’m writing about this topic because I'm interested in crime, especially those cases that have remained unsolved, and because this article may appeal to student

By Jailyn R. After buying food from the food truck rally for Hispanic Heritage Month, held on Friday, October 17 during lunch, I noticed there was food I wanted to try that wasn’t available. The trucks mostly sold tacos and burritos, which are associated with Mexico but not other Hispanic cultures, but I realized they don’t offer the Puerto Rican dishes you might see at parties or make on a daily basis. So, in honor of celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month at AHS, I wanted to m

Let’s talk about Death Battle in 2010, back before people were eating Tide Pods or spoonfuls of cinnamon for views. There was a small company in Dallas, Texas, called ScrewAttack, which provided content for one of the most passionate groups of all: gamers. One such employee, Ben Singer, went from being one of the company’s first interns to a paid staff member, creating shows like Metal Gear Ben, Clip of the Week, and several other series that eventually disappeared when Roost

By ISabella F. Whether it is a school play, concert for an arts class, or a dance recital, performing for an audience can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. Here at Airport High School there are many opportunities to step on stage with our art department. This means that stress for performers can build before, during, and after a performance. Without being managed, stress can cause physical and mental harm such as shaky hands, self-doubt, and, eventually, burnout. Learning

By Natalee O. One popular subgenre of TikTok accounts right now is running content.  Several TikTok accounts focused on running are currently trending, especially those sharing running tips, motivational content, race highlights, and creative workout challenges. Accounts like @the_runners_corner , @runningwithcody , and @marathonmom  have gained popularity recently for their engaging content, fitness advice, and personal running journeys. Running-related hashtags like #Runnin

A 2023 Pew Research Center survey found that 53% of U.S. adults report having between one and four close friends, 38% say they have five or more, and 8% admit to having none at all. If these numbers hold true for students at AHS, this makes me think that students have far fewer friends than we realize--and of those friends, how many are genuine versus fake? Being in a fake friend’s territory can be scary. But after having an experience with a fake friend once before, I’ll be

By Emily H. Making slime is a popular craft for kids. It is easy to find the ingredients around your house and cheap to make if you have to go to the store and buy them. Making slime is also a fast simple process that keeps kids entertained for hours. I’ve made slime many times myself and  with kids, so I know what works best. This recipe is one I’ve used over and over and it is very simple and always turns out great. Unlike a lot of slime recipes out there, this one uses onl

By Marvin P. and Kam B. Many people could say, “Hair could tell a story,” and personally, I agree. Some might even argue that dreads hold the most memories. Dreads, or locs, are a personal statement and, for many of us, a cultural connection. As a high school senior who’s been through the awkward phases, the “Give up” or “They’re so ugly” comments, and the moments of wanting to quit, I get it. But trust us—they can change a person, and if you want to change, tap into our arti

By Bryan W. What is a strategy game?: Strategy is a genre of games where players use decision-making, planning, and tactics. Unlike other games which might rely on luck such as Candy Land, strategy games are entirely about skill and using your brain. Find a strategy game: Strategy games aren’t for everyone. Don’t feel like you have to jump right to chess just because it’s popular, feel free to start with simpler games like Exploding Kittens or Connect 4. Learn the basics: Whi

By Jahmarcus W. Hiya folks! You know giving criticism? That thing where you actually give a work a fair shake, with an open mind and respect for what the creator was trying to do? Yeah… that’s totally  rampant in the community. People have definitely been giving everything the respect it deserves, never dismissing animations as “just for kids” and therefore Oscar-ineligible, or knocking a game’s score because the reviewer couldn’t get past the tutorial level, or writing somet
