Back to school edition

Jessica Darling's older sister gives her the "IT List," a checklist on how to navigate the middle school popularity hierarchy. The instructions appear simple enough to follow, but like life, nothing is as easy as it seems.

The worst years of my life

Rafe Khatchadorian has an epic imagination and a slight problem with authority, and these things collide when he transfers to a middle school where students are expected to follow the rules. This doesn't sit well with Rafe. With help from his new friend Leo, the mischievous lad concocts schemes to drive his tyrannical Principal crazy while also using his charm and wits to impress a girl and battle the bullies.

Jessica Darling’s IT list

Julie and the Phantoms

After the passing of her mom, Julie has lost her passion for music and is on the verge of being kicked out of her performing arts high school. That is, until she makes the ultimate comeback with her new band, Julie and the Phantoms. There's only one catch: All of her bandmates are ghosts.

Restaurant Review

Xef Pirata

This is a very nice tapas restaurant located in the old town of Altea (Calle de l'Àngel 22). It is a little bit expensive, between 20-30€ per person, but if you have the opportunity, you should try it because of the food and the people working there.

By Ester

What should I try there?

They have very good food and something for everyone. One suggestion is their salmon sashimi with wakame and their croquetas. They also have small tapas menus if you want to try different things which is very smart.

Music Review!

Love the subhuman self-OST

Another alternative song, with the tune changing from sinister to hopeful, a song about leaving past regrets and overcoming the overwhelming emotions.

Bury the Light - Casey Edwards

Popular song for the hit game and comic “Devil may cry”

The song is about struggling with inner darkness, and the struggle to accept and reclaim power. The narrator is tempted by immortality and is on their knees, struggling to stay on the path of light.

A song about wanting to be remembered and leaving a legacy behind. But not stressing too much. Talks about having a good time and laughing at your own mistakes.
