Whatever Happened to the Fidget Spinner? Picture

Whatever Happened to the Fidget Spinner?

Picture this: you’re walking through a toy store, and are in awe of the selection. Toys, games, and novelty items as far as the eye can see! The ceiling is high, and the air smells like plastic and rubber. The shelves are stocked with the latest toys, including trendy ones and those from simpler times. No matter the time of year, there was always a unique toy whose design was simple, yet intriguing. It frequently surged in popularity, and just as quickly lost its audience. One example of this phenomenon is the fidget spinner.
Ironically, the fidget spinner has been around since the early 90s, and was originally created as a calming tool for people with ADHD and Autism. But in 2017, the toy suddenly became popular, and they began flying off the shelves. But why?

On Thursday, May 6th, the Lincoln East girls socce

On Thursday, May 6th, the Lincoln East girls soccer team punched their ticket to state with a 6-2 victory over the Elkhorn South Storm. The first 25 minutes of the game included several shots for the Spartans but to no avail. That is, until senior Briley Hill capitalized on a penalty kick after getting tripped up inside the box. A couple minutes later, Hill scored again for her second of what would be a 3 goal night. Sophomores Annie Mulder, Grace Peterson, and Page Monson all scored as well. The Spartans will play next Wednesday at state in Omaha.

“Attack on Titan” brings action and adventure, as well as new characters, with its newest season

Season 4 of “Attack on Titan'' brings with it new characters, plotlines, and conflict that previous seasons of the show were hinting towards. Eren Jaeger and his friends have discovered society outside their homeland, after living their lives behind a wall restraining them from the outside world. But while the government of this outer world remains hostile, there are still characters at the end of the ocean who think differently. There isn’t a good or bad side this time around, like with previous seasons where it was mostly humans vs titans. Now, the stage is tense, as you learn from multiple perspectives of characters who simply want to wish the best for their loved ones, and end the cycle of warfare that existed for past millennia.

It’s not easy being green: 4 tips on how to star

It’s not easy being green: 4 tips on how to start becoming a more environmentally-friendly consumer and person

Everyone’s heard about all of the basics to be eco-friendly: turn off the lights when you leave a room, bring a reusable water bottle with you instead of buying plastic ones, don’t keep the water on while you’re brushing your teeth. But once you get into the habit of doing those things, what more can you actually do?

Being eco-friendly is such a huge topic, it’s hard to know where to go and where to start beyond the basics. It’s really easy to fall into a wormhole and be overwhelmed by all the information of what you’re doing wrong. It’s also really discouraging, and definitely doesn’t motivate anyone to work towards having zero waste or even just being a little more environmentally friendly. So, check out these four tips to become more environmentally conscious, and make a difference in protecting our planet.

Prom special: The history of the promposal

It’s prom season in Lincoln, Nebraska, and while not everyone is able to attend anything more than pictures and dinner, the promposal is still a big deal. But where did it originate from? Brad Bain, a participant in a promposal challenge in 2001, said, “I think it’s neat… it forces kids to not just work up the courage to ask, but to be creative, as well.” Whether you agree with the creativity of promposals or gag at the thought of them, the brief history of such a cultural phenomenon tells a lot about teenage fads, and how they might not actually go away.
