(Above) My first boot pick for Survivor 48 is Kamilla Karthigesu, who, like Maryanne Oketch, may struggle early if she doesn’t form strong bonds. Cedrek McFadden is my second boot pick, as his subtle social game, inspired by Earl Cole and Cirie Fields, could be an easy target in a superfan-heavy era. My choice for sixteenth place is Bianca Roses, who may fall victim to the “Parvati 2.0” curse, with players fearing another all-women’s alliance, making her an early target if she is unable to get a foothold in her tribe early.

(Above) As a last-minute decision for last year’s Great Gatsby themed Prom, I decided to borrow my sister’s light green satin dress that she wore to her sorority’s date function. With minor alterations, it fit perfectly. I accessorized with a pair of sparkly rose-gold heels from Dillard’s and gold jewelry from Kendra Scott and Tiffany & Co.

(Above) Bok Tower Gardens rings its daily carillon, a percussion instrument with a keyboard that sits at the top of the tower. A professional plays the carillon every hour, signaling the time of day. Bok Tower Gardens offers beautiful places to walk, including a playground structured children’s garden and a wild garden teeming with rabbits and flowers that are native to Florida. It also has a vegetable garden with beds of carrots and fennel.

(Above) Part of Morgan and Jo’s journey to open their business was applying to the Small Business Administration, a government-run program there to give money to small local businesses. The project was two years in the making, and Morgan and Jo both led their friends in the community, aligning perfectly with their hopes for the Burrow to be a community center for its guests.

(Above) Before a player storytells any game, it is imperative to explain the rules of the game in a way that is easy to understand. The presentation may have been overboard, but I wanted to make sure everyone had a fun time while playing my most favorite game.

(Above) When Nikki Glaser first started to approach how she wanted to write her jokes for the 2025 Golden Globes, she decided she'd, "Fawn and then flame." She pointed out that for all hosts, it's really important to balance being respectful and fun, and to her credit, it translated to her performance.

(Above) In between innings before the Highlanders go up to bat, Coach Scherba always gathers his team to tell them the plan for the inning and give his team a quick breather before they have to go up to bat. Whether the team is up by five runs or down in the inning, these quick meetings always help relax and get the players focused for the inning ahead. With the team ready to go, Coach Scherba can motivate the team for the next play.

(Above) Clint Potner, grade 11, is getting ready to begin his wrestling match. Keeping his head in the game at all times is very important in such a quick- paced individual sport. Wrestler Ronin Gault, grade 11, mentions that, “Most of the team does their work after morning practice” which is an efficient way he makes sure he never falls behind in schoolwork. Their team tends to help each other and keep each other accountable with work.
