There are many characters in the story and each gives insight into the hardships they face in high school. A character named Joey deals with the hardships of being a rape victim by her own friends. Dominque faces hardships trying to take care of her family financially wise while remaining at school and trying to pursue her career. Leila deals with the changes in high school and how it can impact a person. Jackson experiences racism and its effect on him and his friends around him. After a bombing near the school, Sid discovers the stereotypes people create of his culture and people who look like him. He deals with sexual confusion and after finally realizing he is gay his family is homophobic and does not support him. The hardships the students face rise protests and many life-changing decisions.

I would definitely recommend this show to anyone specifically anyone in high school! This show was an eye-opener to what highschool students face all around the world. It keeps the audience interested while conveying its message.  This movie focuses on many hardships that others wouldn’t talk about. Many students at Westside can relate to this movie and their experiences such as racism or homophobia. There are various parts and anyone can relate to what they are currently experiencing or have experienced. It includes serious and real experiences from students and many can watch this show and be moved by its various messages it includes. Overall this show has been one of the best shows I have watched and its message is very powerful.

Some backstory, ‘Among Us’ is a game that was created by a small indie game developer company back in 2018, making the game 2 years old. This popular game started its breakthrough from popular Korean streamers then became exposed to English streamers, later spreading the game like a wildfire. ‘Among Us’ is downloadable on PC, mobile, and on game consoles, making it available for everyone to play on multiple devices!

Now why is it so consuming to may you may ask? The game is very appealing to people of all ages and is fairly easy to play! The game also having private “lobbies” so friends can play together is also a liked factor from many!

One of the first hits on the search turned up “Among Us but its Cake”…well, I’ll put it here and let you see for yourself:

I watched a couple more clips, and I see why this guy has 16 million subscribers.  So who is Guava Juice?

According to a 2018 atricle at Entrepreneur.com, Roi Fabrito, aka Guava Juice, got his start on YouTube during high school, and quickly built a massive following. “Fans flock to Fabito’s four channels to see him do wild food challenges, try out gadgets and life hacks and conduct science experiments ranging from 3D printing to making a watermelon bath bomb out of an actual watermelon.”¹

If you’re looking for pure fun and entertainment, not to mention real, how-does-he-do-that tricks and skills, I recommend you give Guava Juice a try-out.

I highly recommend this movie for all teenagers. It creates this nostalgic idea of running away and building a life of no rules, going through different adventures each day with your closest friends. A true roller coaster of a mixture of intensity and humor that brings out the courage of all. It is a great film to watch during isolation to help you forget for a moment of the cruel, vicious world right now.

“The Kings of Summer” is available on Vudo, Amazon Prime, YouTube, iTunes and Google Play.

Throughout the years, music has evolved and the way we access music has changed. Before we had our iPhones and YouTube, people listened to music through record players, cassette tapes and CD’s. Although it’s indeed easier to search up a song and hit play, we forget that we are not valuing the artist behind the song because we are not paying for the sound. When the revolutionary iPod came out, many were illegally downloading songs from the internet to the device. Because of this, the iTunes store was born. The iTunes store charges about a dollar per song and completely changed the way people listen to music forever. Implementing the idea of an iPod within the iPhone was a complete game changer, people could now have a device where you can both make calls and listen to music on. That leads me to one of the most used applications for music today, Apple Music. Apple Music is used amongst iPhone users and is a monthly subscription. Apple Music gives you access to the whole iTunes store. It makes it easier to listen to music offline, you can search up songs just by the lyrics, it’s ad-free and is cheaper than paying for each song individually. Not only can you listen to music on this application, you can watch music videos or concerts, follow your favorite artists, listen to the radio or podcasts and create playlists that you can share with friends. Apple Music costs $9.99 per month, or $14.99 per month for a family subscription for up to six people. However, college students can subscribe for only $4.99 per month.

Apple Music is one of the few investments that is totally worth it. With over sixty million songs available and it’s practical usage, it makes listening to music enjoyable and simple. You can can start your 3-month free trial and cancel anytime at https://www.apple.com/apple-music/!

The main character of Outbreak is a man named Col. Sam Daniels. It was a normal day in a small town of California and a unknown sickness came into the hospital. After that hundreds of others filled the hospital with no known cure and many people dying. Col.Sam Daniels does everything he can and finds out that a African monkey is carrying a disease that is airborne and spreading throughout the whole town. He works with his ex-wife to find a cure but even his close ones have the disease and other problems are surfacing in order to save the town.

I really recommend this movie because it is very eye opening and it is very interesting. The movie shows how the virus spread from the first person and how it traveled to the whole town. Also how Sam Daniels and other doctors handled it and saved the town from mass destruction.

The main character of the story is a woman called Grace. One day one of her closest friends convinces her to go to an art gallery, when Grace goes she immediately sees someone she is interested in and is showing the same interest in her. The man comes up to her and they have a conversation, they show mutual interest in their conversation and are having a good time. Grace is an older woman in her late 40s and the man she is talking to is way younger than her. They talk and eventually it leads to a relationship and he starts living with her. A few months later they get married.

One day, money is stolen from her job from her account and the company she works for believes it was her who stole the money and she gets fired. She doesn’t have any more money and the only person who is able to draw money is her husband. She tells him about it and he immediately gets offensive . A few days later she found him cheating on her with a younger person in her own home. She then realizes that he never loved her, he just used her for money. Her patience runs slim and one day she kills him with a bat to his head. She goes to jail and a lawyer took her case.

The lawyer tries to find all the ways to prove her innocent so she went to her “supposedly” best friend of Graces home. She goes the first time and Alice quickly drives her away but one time she goes unexpectedly and no one is home. She goes to the basement and finds many innocent women starving, begging her to help her. She keeps looking and someone is right behind her, it is Grace’s husband who she thinks she killed. He catches the lawyer and locks her up into a closet. Before the lawyer went into the home she told her husband she was going and he knew something didn’t feel right, so he called the police. The police came and caught Grace’s husband but they didn’t catch Alice. They realize that Alice is related to Grace’s husband and have been working together since the start. Grace eventually is freed from jail and many woman have been saved from their torture.

All over people are talking about this movie and are not disappointed in what Tyler Perry has done. He has created another viral and successful movie which leads viewers to expect even more interesting and binge-worthy movies and TV shows.

There was a sprinkle of rain here and there, but that didn’t stop us Texans from going out and “dancing in the rain” despite this unexpected “tornado warning!” More seriously, the night did consist of high waters, but no tornado took place, so the weather report was false.

Some memes that are undeniably funny and worth to take a look at for a good laugh:

The California based burger chain, IN-N-OUT Burger have officially taken over Houston. IN-N-Out has locations throughout California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Texas and Oregon. There are already two new IN-N-OUT locations and another planned to be built in the Houston area. There is one in Strafford and the second in Katy, the third one is planned to be built in the Willowbrook Mall. When it opened, the wait at the drive-thru during lunchtime is about 45 minutes.  The drive-thru customers were far from the first excited people on the scene. By 4:30 a.m. Friday, before the opening, two people were already holding their place in line.

Whataburger fans must look out for the growing compeition taking over Houston. “Double-double” and “Animal Style” are phrases that might be more commonly known in Houston now. As a Houstonian, Whataburger will remain supreme in the Bayou City. Texans swear by Whataburger’s more Southern menu items, which includes Texas toast, patty melts, biscuits. Californians rave about IN-N-OUT’s fresh ingredients and “animal-style” burgers. Whataburger has far more expanded with more than 790 locations in ten different states and are more innovated. IN-N-OUT is stuck in the past with only 313 locations in 6 states. Whataburger not only serves breakfast but are opened 24 hours, which the California based burger restuarant doesn’t offer. This will be the beginning of the burger war!

A probable cause of the movie to be liked so much from people around the world

I personally cant wait for the sequel to come out on december 13th. Stay tuned for another adventure!
