ALL PHOTOS & GRAPHICS/FINLEY GERRON If you’ve ever powered on your TV to watch a Netflix show, then opened TikTok or Geometry Dash, you may be surprised to learn that you’re not alone. This practice, dubbed, “second-screening,” describes watching a movie or show while simultaneously engaging with a secondary device, often a smartphone. It’s become increasingly common in the last decade, and accordingly, production companies are accounting for it in their media.  According t

ALL PHOTOS & GRAPHICS/FINLEY GERRON 2026 is a turning point in fashion culture. This year is represented by a significant departure from radical silhouettes and loud trends, replaced by a collective agreement by consumers to slow consumption. A new phenomenon embracing anti-consumerism has emerged. Influencers on social media platforms have put their own spin on this concept, introducing “de-influencing.” Instead of pushing new clothing pieces onto their followers, they expo

With our proximity to Seattle, BHS students have many opportunities to listen to live music including the chance to attend these highly anticipated concerts. Artists like Bruno Mars, Charlie Puth, and Madison Beer have announced tour dates along with presale codes. Although Mars is not coming to

With many incredible venues and a huge market size, Seattle is a premier destination for musical artists, tours, and festivals alike.

With some luck, you might be done with work before 12:00 am. You’ve always felt underestimated in life; it was hard after all to break into high level finance coming from the little-known business school in New York known as “Stern.” Above all the hardship you have endured in your life, you take pride in one singular outfit: your beau

In 2023, the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) found that only 14 percent of 13-year-olds reported reading for fun “almost every day,” compared to 27 percent in 2012. Reading for fun, which I’ll refer to as “personal reading,” is defined as “any kind of reading done for enjoyment or purposes other than work or school” and has innumerable personal benefits. These range from increases in general reading comprehension and vocabulary to promoting sleep quality or
