Dhurandar 2 Divides Audiences With Action, Violence, and Spectacle
The recently released Dhurandar 2 has sparked a wide range of reactions among viewers, with some praising its technical quality and entertainment value, while others criticize its intense violence and long runtime. As a sequel to the original film, Dhurandar 2 raises the stakes with a revenge-driven storyline, dramatic action, and political undertones that leave audiences both impressed and divided.
Opinions- A Love Letter to Fanfiction: the Last True Art of the Internet Age
We may have missed the era of MySpace and early YouTube, but Gen Z was definitely there for an era of the internet. Holding our iPads in sticky fingers, we were treated to a front row seat for the rise of the monetized internet. Almost overnight, our favorite YouTubers shifted from being unremarkable content creators into big-box brands peddling merchandise in our local Target.
Reaching for the Stars, On Screen and Off
In many respects, 2026 has become the year of space. Project Hail Mary, which follows science teacher Ryland Grace on a desperate mission to save Earth from a dying sun, is one of the highest-grossing films of the year. The Artemis II mission, which launched on April 1 and returned on April 11, marked the first time humans had traveled beyond low Earth orbit since 1972. Together, the two stories—one fictional, one real—have sparked a renewed interest among students in space, science, and what humanity is reaching for.
A Strong Sendoff For Senior Band Members
With the 2026 school year coming to a close, many different classes are concluding their studies and lectures. The Washington High School Band, however, has been hard at work preparing for Competitions, performances, and senior sendoffs. For many seniors in band, this isn’t just the end of a high school elective, but a reflection of all the hardships they went through and accomplishments they earned.
A Smarter Path to a 4-Year Degree
Community college is often overlooked among seniors in high school. However, it is an excellent option for many. Attending a community college allows for students to have a smooth transition into a 4-year university.
Do What You Love, But At What Cost?
Take that life-changing trip to London on the off chance that you get noticed by a modeling agent! Drop out of college to pilot that start-up no one else thought of! Quit your boring cubicle job on a whim to become a fashion blogger! Through morals at the end of fables, character arcs in shows, and flashy movie montages, from a very young age everyone is taught the age-old idea of following your dreams.
Are Video Games No Fun Anymore?
Many of us in high school grew up playing video games with our friends and family. Whether it was Madden, Minecraft, or Call of Duty, I’m sure plenty of us can look back fondly on our childhood gaming experiences. But lately, it just seems like the magic of games has been sucked away. Quality has gone down the drain as these gigantic companies prioritize the dollar, and we’ve watched it happen in real time. But is there still value in the new products coming out, or have we just outgrown games?
Artificial Solitude
There was a time when being alone meant living life without constant notifications, music, and endless scrolling. However, the type of solitude we once had is growing increasingly rare with every new technological innovation. Many students, including myself, walk out of the 50s wing, put in both AirPods, and listen to one song before getting to the E-building. But why? Even at home, quiet moments like lying in bed or waiting for your microwave to finish are filled with digital stimulation. Technology has not removed solitude entirely, but it has definitely changed how people experience it.
Lunch Line Makeover
In recent years, school lunches have improved noticeably, with more variety and meals that feel less processed and more homemade. For many students, this shift has made school lunch a more appealing and reliable option.
