DISNEY LOVE TRIANGLE?

Olivia Rodrigo, starring in Disney+'s High School Musical: The Musical: The Series has recently released a song called Drivers license, supposedly inspired by her break up with co-star Joshua Bassett. The song begins with the sounds of a starting car, and other car sounds, then Olivia begins telling the story. The song essentially tells the listener that she doesn’t love how things ended, “And I know we weren’t perfect, but I've never felt this way for no one.” Like a rebuttal to the song Rodrigo released, Joshua Bassett is releasing a song titled Lie Lie Lie this Thursday, January 14, 2021. Fans believe this song was written about her song and their breakup. When you read some of the lyrics you will see that it says “Told them the lies that you told me- I've had enough of it this time”. Ironically Olivia says “‘cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street” and if the song is about their breakup like suspected then Joshua lied, cause they are obviously not “forever”. To add some more to this drama, in the song lyrics of Drivers License, Olivia mentions a “blonde girl”. What is believed, is that this part of the song is bashing on Sabrina Carpenter, a fellow Disney star. This theory sprouts from a Tik Tok video posted on Joshua’s account, the two are dressed in a couple costume of the classic Sharkboy and Lava Girl (released in 2005). Then the two appear on Sabrina’s account in the same outfits. This little love triangle situation is eating up the attention of many on Tik Tok, Instagram and Disney Plus. To wrap this up, Joshua's album cover is of him laying on a car, and it looks very similar to the car Olivia drives in her music video. STREAM DRIVERS LICENSE AND WAIT FOR LIE LIE LIE TO RELEASE!!!!

SUPPORT OUR ECO-FRIENDLY FRIENDS!

While our rapid-fire economy continues to create growth for the nation, it is unfortunately incredibly destructive. Mass production and industrial processes haven’t been at all beneficial for our earth. Living in utah, we’ve all seen how polluted the air can be. The pollution-orange sunsets and constant fog is a bit depressing. Thankfully, green, independent companies have our backs! These companies usually have one collective goal; to better the environment that we live in. They've made a difference by encouraging others to support them rather than big business industries. Next time you decide to impulsively go online shopping, you can feel better about your purchase if you consider these organizations. Starting off with some rather well known teams, 4Ocean, Pela, and Converse.
4Ocean sells eco-friendly, sustainable jewelry made from reused plastic collected in their endeavors. Their mission statement, written perfectly by wasteadvantagemag.com, is “4ocean's mission is to recover and recycle ocean plastic, advocate for sustainable innovation and inspire people around the world to reduce their consumption of single-use plastic.” For every purchase of one bracelet, they are funded to collect one pound of plastic throughout the ocean. As of last year, 7.7 million pounds of plastic and other marine debris was reported collected. Pela is an eco-friendly company which sells phone cases for android and iphones. They are 100% compostable, and are also working towards plastic-free oceans. Their material has been tested to be safe in the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. It has been reviewed as sustainable and more durable than any other case consumers have used. Pela is another company working towards good, and inspiring others to do so. Converse! Worn by over half of the students in our school, and many others, converse is a great company to buy from. A recent line released called “Converse Renew” is a collection their team created through recycled and sustainable materials. Their mission statement is “Renew is Converse’s commitment to design towards a wasteless future.”. They say, rethink, recycle, renew. And of course, the Jack Purcell, a world champion badminton player and the original creator of converse sneakers has joined the collection. Some other eco-friendly companies worth mentioning: -native shoes (shoes) -elate beauty (cosmetics) -bathing culture (body wash/shower products) -kaffee form (coffee cups) -bambu (dining utencils/dishes) -stasher bags (multiple use food bags) -who gives a crap (toilet paper) -viva terra (home decor/candles) posted 1/11/2021

Shop small because when you do you are supporting someone's dream, you will most likely receive a more personal and authentic experience, and you end up with unique products. By doing this you will know there is much thought and passion going into the process. Creating and running a small business is a large task for the owner, a fun task, but a time consuming one. By purchasing anything, even just one small product you are acknowledging the amount of work gone into the business. Plus if you are shopping locally, you will most likely be able to reach more people around you to let them know just how great the recently discovered small business is! If you know the seller more personally you know that you are receiving a great product in exchange for the seller's genuine excitement.
To find small businesses look on social media, a lot of small business owners market through social media to reach as many people as possible. Popular online businesses might be found on etsy, instagram, facebook, depop etc. You can also simply ask around, I have personally had friends and acquaintances ask me if I have shopped small and if so, where. To help boost the creators business after making a purchase, leave a review, follow their social media, stay up to date with their releases, post pictures of the products to your own social media, and share their account! During this terrible pandemic many have been doing everything imaginable online, online schooling, online meetings, and online shopping. So when online shopping, and you want to buy that sticker, pair of earrings, or clothing item, think about the young creator who is waiting to package their next order. This time can be a great time for growth for online sellers. [Inspired by your very own small biz owner, Jada Clayton (owner of PearBearCo on instagram and etsy)] |

FUN ONLINE EVENTS & ALTERNATIVES

If you are a high school student and you’ve been put into quarantine multiple times, you have probably done all sorts of crafts and activities, and now you need something new to do. Then this may be the article for you…
People all over are getting really creative and taking advantage of the blessing in disguise that technology is. This includes digital groups coming together to do one thing online or people watching live streams to get that in-person feel while simply not being there in person. Much like the well known Zoom program, other more exciting programs have become very popular. Netflix allows viewers to watch movies and shows together while separated, it is called Netflix Party. It's similar to a group face time with the movie playing, that way the movie talkers can make their witty commentary while watching. Along with movie watching, online gaming has become increasingly popular. Gaming was already popular, but the game Among Us became most popular when people could send a simple code to a group of friends and then play together. These are great ways to “gather” a group of people without actually being within 6 feet of each other. Popular influencers, singer/songwriters, actors, etc have been holding online events not only to keep people entertained but to also raise money for charities. Liam Payne, member of the band One Direction, held a livestream show called his “Liam Payne show”, each ticket was $10. He wanted to entertain whilst people were in the comfort of their homes. Niall Horan, also a member of the band One Direction held a concert live at the Royal Albert Hall on November 7th. This was to raise money to support 3 different charities; Alzheimer’s Society, Amnesty International, and Red Cross. One other member of the band One Direction, Louis Tomlinson is going to be holding a livestream concert on December 12 to raise money for FareShare, Crew Nation, Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice, and Stagehand. These events are incredibly fun to watch and you will know that if the tickets are a little pricier, at least it will be going towards a good cause. These creative ways of staying digitally connected are brilliant, but in all seriousness, if this doesn’t interest you, go outside, read a book, create something, and enjoy your solitude. Happy off and on Covid-quarantining. |

Our School Taking Action to Battle Poor Mental Health
EMMA CARVER
EDITORIAL EDITOR Amidst the constant downpour of pandemics, divided countries, and canceled extracurriculars, the storms of life can get overwhelming at times. Stress builds up, emotions are held back, and student´s mental health takes the plunge. Help during such an event can be hard to find and the fear of judgement can prevent boys and girls alike from searching for the desperately needed resources. Our school, Corner Canyon High School, realized such a problem and began to set up multiple ways they can access help. We interviewed one of the counselors at our school, Mrs. Sego, about ways students can find guidance through these times. She informed us that counselors have been reaching out through phone, zoom, or in person, to check up on struggling students. They check students' grades or get tips to be able to realize if a student is struggling. |
Counselors and school administration can receive tips through Safe UT, an app created to aid students in finding professional support. There are multiple options on the app which range from being able to talk or text a therapist to submitting an anonymous tip. It is a great resource if students are fearful or anxious to reach out for help.
Additionally, the school psychologist and school social worker have started a program where they try to talk to kids who are struggling. They created a safe space where all can talk about their issues. This starts in December and all are welcome. The image below is the poster with additional information. Administration has also created a canvas page chalk full of resources. Mrs. Sego speaks for all of Corner Canyon High School Administrators when she told us, ¨[Students] have nothing to be ashamed about… they can always come down and talk to us. That's what we´re here for. They can reach out. There´s no judgement.¨ POSTED 11/18/20 |

CCHS vs covid: What now?
BY EVE CANDELL
FASHION & FOODIES EDITOR In recent months, life for students at Corner Canyon has been anything but normal. Of course, all students have been vastly affected by the virus and the precautions surrounding it, seniors have been handed quite the burden for their final year in high school. Students have a myriad of opinions regarding the recent mandates in place surrounding COVID-19. Some prefer taking an online option so they can work at their own pace, or avoid others and effectively social distance. On the other hand, the vast majority of students prefer getting in-class instruction from teachers and seeing friends everyday at school. After polling a vast majority of students at Corner Canyon, about 53% of students confirmed that they prefer in class instruction, based on their own personal experience and preference. Surprisingly, in second place, 31% of students reported that they much prefer online instruction to in person classes, which is contrary to what appears to be most popular by word of mouth. It was interesting to see how the two stacked up. In last place with the fewest number of votes, a hybrid option was chosen at just 16%. This poll was a mix of personal preference, and what the students believed to be smarter in regards to COVID-19 precautions. I asked some students at CCHS to share with me their personal views on the situation and how it is being handled at Corner Canyon, and how they have felt personally affected by it in their lives. We had a range of responses, some more emotional and some more logical than others. Willow Rosenberg (Corner Canyon Senior) shared her thoughts by saying “Feeling like the nation doesn’t care about human life as much as politics and money and not being able to trust my school to follow through on procedures has been challenging during COVID.” It is obvious that Willow’s feelings of disappointment towards how the pandemic was dealt with by students and faculty at Corner Canyon were shared by many other students, one of being Mason Hughes (Corner Canyon Senior) who shared his view “It has been frustrating to watch the school board bow to political pressure and endanger the lives of students and teachers alike.” Although this may be an extreme opinion, it is still important to hear different views from different students at CCHS to show that there is a wide range of views about how the pandemic is being dealt with, however, the Corner Canyon family is hopeful that things will improve over the course of the next months, and faculty is coming down hard on those who refuse to obey the state and district mandates. However, it is clear that overall students are glad to be back in school, and the vast majority of students are glad to be back in class and are doing everything they can to keep it that way. Wear a mask! Be safe. If Corner Canyon bands together, we can beat this virus and come out successful. POSTED 10/22/20 |

CCHS "MY WHY"
CHECK IT OUT!
BY JADA CLAYTON
HOME PAGE EDITOR
HOME PAGE EDITOR
¨CCHS My Why¨ is a new program that the student body officers have put together to understand and learn more about the students. The primary goal is to amplify the stories, voices and successes of the students. Hopefully this will help bring the students closer together, and it will help these incredible people to feel loved and appreciated. Students will grow to learn and love others by connecting with each other with common interests, and through that find friends. During this frustrating pandemic many may be struggling with online schooling; mentally, and/or socially. So if we give new friendships a jump start many will be able to use that and become closer with their peers.
Corner Canyon High School has two thousand, three hundred seventy-six students, and so because of this there will be multiple highlights posted a week. The stories will be posted to the @cchsmywhy instagram, and soon the school facebook page. Follow along!

HARRY FREAKING STYLES
BY JADA CLAYTON
HOME PAGE EDITOR One direction star, Harry Styles, has made quite the career for himself. Being a fabulous solo artist and releasing two albums; 2017’s ‘Harry Styles’ album and the 2019 ‘Fine Line’ Album. Along with his appearance in the film Dunkirk in 2017, he is now expected to be in two more upcoming films. My Policeman will begin production next summer. This film is set in the 1990’s showing the relationship of two men while homosexuality was illegal. Styles’ character being Tom, will film alongside actress, Lily James who plays Marion, a humble schoolteacher. The movie will be based off of the 2012 novel written by Bethan Roberts. This film should be right up Styles’ alley since he advocates for the LGBTQ community. He has said “We’re all a little bit gay, aren’t we?” along with waving gay pride flags at concerts. This man has proven his support for many things but his support to LGTBQ will shine during this film.
Don’t Worry Darling is another movie production expected to involve Harry Styles. He will be replacing Shia LeBeouf due to scheduling conflicts. The movie is directed by Olivia Wilde and co-stars actress Florence Pugh and actor Chris Pine. Styles will take on the role of Pugh’s “Picture Perfect Husband” Jack. The plot is located in California deserts as an isolated and Utopian community in the 1950’s. The movie is considered to be a thriller film and is about a housewife who has a reality switch with disturbing truths discovered. Styles will hopefully “break a leg” and steal the show of this upcoming film. From beginning his career on the X-Factor at 16 years old in 2010, to being in a band, starting a solo career and being an advocate to many while having a large fanbase, there is no doubt that Harry freaking Styles is taking the world by storm.

faculty focus ON FUN
Netflix documentary-
¨The social dilemma¨
BY JADA CLAYTON
HOME PAGE EDITOR ¨The Social Dilemma¨ just dropped on Netflix, it is currently trending fourth in the top ten. This documentary is told from the point of view of large company ex presidents, leaders, developers, creators, and influencers from Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, Google, etc, to prove the point that social media has large effects on us. These multimillion dollar companies have no larger goal than to make profit off of the consumer or the user of the app. The companies do not think past the larger picture, so this creates mental instability for people.
The way that these programs work is they put something on your device that interests you then if you interact with it you will receive something similar in the near future. Advertisement is being given, and whether or not you take it is the product. But what is actually being sold in this scheme is the information you give the advertising company, which then sells that to the company they advertised. There's a quote from the documentary production that says ¨If you're not paying for the product, then you are the product¨. For example, if the program is a free program and all you have to do is make an account, chances are pretty good that your information is being sold for advertisement. |
The people from these companies talk about how different apps and programs are geared towards different age groups and people. The way that different ages will react to one app or another is different and so they account for the different views and beliefs of many individuals.
One other tricky aspect of this is that when you are being fed one type of information, someone is also being fed information but it may be the complete opposite information than you. This is what causes arguments and large physical impacts on society. People of one cultural belief will do something to spite the other side of the argument. This will become a larger issue if there isn´t change soon, but there is optimism for change. Then the title ¨The Social Dilemma¨ begins to make sense, as a whole, collective society there needs to be a want and desire to not destroy or ruin the companies but to change and better them.
