During my sophomore year of high school, in the heat of the COVID-19 pandemic, I ventured out on an investigative search in the name of journalism. I went to Trader Joes, spent too much money, and then reviewed everything I bought in a Dig Article. You can read the old version here, but that was so 2021. Now, as a senior, I’m headed back to the old Joe’s for round 2.

This is a little insight to how the crossaction of both American culture and Nigerian traditions shape our Thanksgiving.

Taylor Swift’s tenth studio album was released at midnight EST and nine pm PST. Naturally, I am writing about it, as I do with any major release the artist does. Midnights had a stir of excitement preceding its release on the 21st of October, and I decided to meet with some of OES’s biggest fans to get an inside look into their reactions to the album.

The Seattle Mariners had not made the MLB playoffs in 20 years. The longest active playoff drought amongst major North American sports. A number so astounding that the last time they made the playoffs was when Barry Bonds set the all time home run record with 73 and Ichiro Sizuki was a rookie. But finally, after 20 painful years for Mariner fans they have been rewarded.
