Squatted Trucks!
By:Colton Bost
Do you know what a squatted truck looks like? If so, you know that they are very ugly. People spend so much money on a good looking truck just to turn it into something very unappealing. But seriously why would someone do that to a truck there is no point. Some of them look cool but most of them don't and they are very expensive. The truck itself is at a range from $20,000-100,000 and then the lift kit is like another $5,000. The look isn't the only bad thing about squatted trucks; they can blind oncoming drivers and cause undercarriage collisions, poor handling and braking, increased tire suspension wear and engine lubrication issues. When people buy squatted trucks they usually decorate them with lights but this is now illegal in some states to protect oncoming drivers' vision. I personally despise squatted trucks. They are very expensive and ugly and also a lot to keep up with so if you ever get a truck please do not squat it.
Golden Goose
By Rayna Mull
Have you ever heard of Golden Goose? If you would know , they're super expensive. For like 600 dollars! Maybe even a thousand! All for some dirty shoes. I mean, don't get me wrong, some are kind of cute. But how many people do you normally see wearing golden goose shoes? Not a lot. I mean, Golden Goose is going to go out of business if they don't lower the prices. What would you choose between? Golden Goose or Nike? Golden Goose or Adidas? At least the other options have clean shoes. Why would you want dirty overpriced shoes when some look just as good? I get it, if you were a rich person you would obviously go for it, but for average people? I don't think so. That's not even today's style! Way more people wear Nike or Lululemon than they do Golden Goose.and i understand their prices. But anything close to a thousand? Heck no! So if you ever think about buying shoes from Golden Goose, just know that they are over priced and in my opinion, not worth it.
Do You Cook Cookies for Santa?
By: Hunter Thompson with the help of Colton Bost
So do you cook cookies for Santa Claus? Well I do and I'm here to tell you why you should. You should because Santa gives you all your presents and he deserves something in return. Just kidding but on a real note baking cookies for Santa is something I would recommend because it is a good way to do a lot of things. For example you spend more time with family, take your mind off of things if you're having a bad day and just give you some time to yourself if you need it. It could also be enjoyable if you just like baking in general. So if you ever get bored and it's around Christmas time, ask your family if they would like to bake cookies with you or your friends if they want to bake with you. Baking cookies is a fun activity so you should do it especially if it's near Christmas time! Please have fun and have a great Christmas and thank you for reading this article.
Parents Checking Grades
By: Caitlyn Almond
Do you think parents should check your grades daily, weekly, or monthly? Personally, my parents check every time they get a notification and I hate it. One survey says 80% of parents value their kids' achievement over kindness and I find that crazy. I mean yes achievement is important but so is kindness. You shouldn’t pressure your child into having all A’s, a few B’s are okay too, also we're in middle school and that can be a big change for some people. You shouldn’t only care about grades, care about the child’s behavior in class, like care for your child’s behavior or are they a helper in their class? As I said earlier my parents check my grades as soon as they get a notification and it actually sucks. It pressures me to do more than I can and then my grades sometimes will drop after they pressure me. I think parents should check their kids' grades weekly or once every 2 weeks so it doesn’t pressure us as much.
