Humor: entertaining activities to do during PRIME

Hila Livneh, Centerfold Editor October 6, 2021

Personal The P in PRIME stands for personal, so go ahead and take some time for yourself! School is exhausting enough as is, so use this period to have a nice relaxing spa day. Bring a clay mask that you can apply to your forehead, and if you’re feeling like it, take some cucumber slices from home...

Hidden gems: The math office

Chris Lee, Managing Editor September 20, 2021

In a school of around 2,000 students, finding a peaceful and work-conducive environment on campus is challenging. The Math Office is one of Gunn’s hidden gems and a part of campus that many students overlook as a studying space. Located on the second floor of the N-Building, the office offers...

Hidden gems: Grassy haven

Paul Garofalo, Reporter September 20, 2021

A hidden gem area at Gunn is an area that is peaceful, comforting and quiet. Taking two lefts after exiting the library, one can find a grassy area that fits all of those definitions.

At school, my outfits are a reflection of my attitude; I put in the most effort to look nice on the first day, but as the year goes on, my motivation to dress up diminishes.

Catherine Chu, Managing Editor August 20, 2021

On any given day, black is an essential part of my style choice. No matter the season, a black shirt or jacket is the perfect starting point for any outfit, not to mention the classic black leggings that can never go wrong.

Mia Knezevic, Forum Editor, Photo Editor and Oracle-SEC Liaison August 20, 2021
