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.

ACL a crowd-pleaser once again

     The Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL) typically takes place in early fall but the build-up to Austin’s favorite music event starts long before, with the release of the much-anticipated lineup. Featuring 130 bands playing everything from bluegrass to indie-rock, this coveted set list holds something for every music fan. The chances of seeing a much loved band in the lineup or discovering a new favorite are high as ACL always attracts big name performers from every genre.

     Austinites couldn’t have asked for a better weekend to host the many bands that ACL brought to Zilker Park. Bands like Muse, Vampire Weekend, The Strokes, Rebelution, Deadmau5, The Flaming Lips, M.I.A. and The Eagles lit up all seven stages making for three fantastic days filled with good music, amazing eats and lots of great company. The festival was far from the dustbowl of years prior or the soggy swamp of 2009. Clear, sunny skies and perfect weather were the norm, welcoming the 68,000 music-lovers and hundreds of volunteers who attended.

     The concerts themselves were, at times, less enjoyable because of the massive throngs of people and for many shows it was a challenge to get even remotely close to the stage or to clearly hear the performance in front of you. The music itself seemed like a background for efforts to navigate the massive sea of people and was often ailed by tunes bleeding over from other stages. Sound quality is nearly impossible to ensure in an outdoor environment and is difficult to always get a good spot for every band. The experience as a whole is draining but as per usual hundreds of volunteers and staff on site worked hard to eliminate most unpleasant experiences. Luckily, most fans know that ACL is not just about the music, it’s about the experience of enjoying a festival with thousands of fellow music fans.
