he scribbled down the first step in solving the equation on her whiteboard. She quickly went through the steps taught thoroughly by her teacher. She lifted her board, and a smile shot across her face at the satisfaction of her teacher. “My favorite thing about math is that if you know the technique, you can find the right answer and be completely sure about the answer,” Jarom Gordon communications major (6) said. Students not only strived in math by themselves, but got useful help from their teachers. ”My math teacher has influenced me to do better by giving us assignments and checking them. She helps [fix] our flaws in math,” Gordon said. According to scientificamerican. com, working together

Students enjoy a variety of forms of entertainment from music to movies and much more
A
n outburst of laughter erupted from a group of eighth grade girls in the courtyard, who chatted about the long awaited, new “Five Seconds of Summer” album. Entertainment was a vast land of apps, television, movies, and much more. “My favorite form of entertainment is television, because there is always something to watch in a variety of different shows,” Carlee Tew communications major (7), said. But it was not just television that had teen audiences’ attention. Music was also a hit. “I like Drake because my favorite style of music is rap and hip-hop,” Gabriel Hudgeon theater major (8), said. A study by National Public Radio, (NPR), showed that most teens, age 12 to 16 have related to a band member, a song, or simply identified with music. “[My favorite type of music] is classical, because I sing it in school,” Ryan Heran vocal major (6), said. “I think it would be different if it wasn’t my major.” Much more than overpriced
concessions, movies also scored big with the teen audience. “My favorite movie is ‘Think Like a Man 2’, because Kevin Hart is funny, and it makes my day better if it hasn’t been too great,” Devonn Lewis communications major (7), said. “I’m a big fan of the ‘Wizard of Oz’. I like to sing along, and it’s a classic,” Tew said. The three top box office hits of 2014 were “Guardians of the Galaxy”, grossing approx. $295 million at the box office, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” approx. $259 million at the box office, and “The Lego Movie” with approx. $257 million at the box office. “I really liked ‘The Lego Movie’,” Heran said. “It was funny, and the characters were cool.” According to the Huffington Post, music had been the top source of entertainment since 1975, and still was as of June 2014. Althea Celey, theater major (8), said, “I love ‘Five Seconds of Summer’. I feel like I really connect to the members, and their music. I feel like a part of their journey.” by Finnley Senese
