Striding away from the Belvedere building complex, junior Addie Johnson and Senior Cooper Johnson pose for a family picture in Vienna, Austria. The Johnson family lived in Austria for six years and while living there, Cooper said he enjoyed the freedom provided by public transportation. “I liked just the overall city and the public transportation,” Cooper said. “It gave me the ability to go anywhere I wanted whenever I felt like it.”

Pictured above is Olivia Rodrigo performing “the grudge” at her “GUTS” Tour. I left this concert feeling grateful, nostalgic and just overall so happy that I had gotten to be a part of such an unforgettable experience.

DEN, a 35-minute-long free period students are given, is used in many ways for a variety of purposes. Students use this time to work on homework, make up missed tests and sometimes catch up with friends. Lots of students use DEN to run “errands,” as well, whether that means picking up an assignment from a teacher, visiting with a student teacher or asking the librarian about a tech issue. Students can no longer leave their designated classroom during DEN, even to go to the restroom.

To combat the growing price on fast food, my family uses fast food apps. There are five apps we use the most: QuikTrip, Sonic, Chick-fil-A, McDonalds and Whataburger.

Sweater Weather

     The roaring winds of winter signal an exciting change. Upon these lofty breezes float the chilly air and gentle snowflakes so synonymous with the season (provided they don’t turn into ice and slush along the way). Happy memories of family gatherings and holidays begin their annual manifestations in the minds of folks everywhere. The heat of summer slowly evaporates as cool, dry air begins to pick up. The chill in the air has indubitably triggered a warming of the heart, as the season of sweater weather rolls in.         

     Sweater weather, of course, refers to the time of year when the temperatures outside become fantastically frosty. This magical time is unfortunately short in the central Texas area, but its brief appearance only serves to heighten the enjoyment found in the wonderfully cool weeks of winter.  Because of the celebrated drop in temperature, summer clothes must be packed away into dark closets until next year; in order to make way for a torrent of wool, twill and heavy cotton. Shorts and flip-flops are abandoned in favor of cozy jackets and matching scarf & glove sets. Closed-toe shoes and warm knit caps are dusted off and dragged from the recesses of wardrobes and storage boxes. A welcome change in fashion is due to occur. Now is the time for the oversized comfort and warmth, found only in the folds of your favorite sweater.

     The traditions of cool-climate living should also be observed during sweater weather season.  As such, the dark elements must be observed along with the light. Prepare yourself for a deluge of holiday programming and commercials on your TV that will try to capitalize on your happy holidays.  Beware of the Ugg boots that will somehow become fashionable again after they faded back to their well-deserved obscurity last season , and try to avert you gaze from the gaudy front-yard displays of holiday revelry (if it’s before Thanksgiving, it’s just to early). However, don’t let these egregious travesties against the spirit of the season get you down, because sweater weather is a time of celebration and fleecy goodness.

     I’m definitely going to enjoy this weather while it lasts. I’m finally able to break out my favorite hot chocolate, cuddle up in front of my preferred roaring fireplace, turn on the heater in my house, and make a batch of amazingly aromatic cookies. Now that the temperature has officially dropped out of the red, you’ll know where to find me.
