Welcome back! Here are a few handpicked recommendations to help you stay on track and make the most of finals week.

1. Drink Recommendation: Print Editor-in-chief Abby Monk recommends the London Fog Latte from Starbucks.

Going into the colder months of winter, there’s no better time to enjoy the Starbucks London Fog Latte. This warm mix of Earl Grey tea, lavender and vanilla brings out a cozy feeling for those foggy days, and holds its title as my favorite Starbucks drink.

2. App Recommendation: Social Media Manager Shayna Youkhana recommends the game Block Blast!

The app Block Blast! has been spreading like a wildfire. The satisfying yet challenging game is everywhere, and I’m not complaining. I find myself constantly clicking on this app ready to try and beat my high score. Block Blast! allows you to think critically while also having fun.

3. App Recommendation: Staff Writer Mia Rao recommends the app Google Keep.

The app Google Keep has transformed my high school experience. This digital planner has an aesthetically pleasing layout that conveniently records all of my homework assignments. Plus, the Google feature allows me to access it across all my devices. Take advantage of this service provided by the school and download it now just in time for finals season!

1. Drink Recommendation: Online Sports Editor Olivia Peyton recommends Starbucks Iced Gingerbread Chai.

The Iced Gingerbread Chai is arguably my favorite fall drink from Starbucks. The creamy cold foam, the delicious milky chai. It’s basically Christmas in a cup. This drink is especially great for all the people who hate coffee, but still want a coffee-ish drink.

2. Music Recommendation: Staff Writer Morgan Smith recommends the EP, “A Very Laufey Holiday” by Laufey.

This EP is perfect for the holiday season. Laufey’s voice is pure magic and her modern jazz vocals are addicting. This EP includes covers to Christmas classics as well as original music.

3. Activity Recommendation: Staff Writer Julian Vazquez recommends the Chicago Botanical Gardens Lightscape.

The Lightscape is a seasonal event hosted by the Chicago Botanical Gardens to celebrate the winter holiday season. It starts on Nov. 15 and carries through to the beginning of January. It consists of many different light features, beverages, food & drink. Perfect for family outings just be sure to dress warm!

1. App Recommendation: Staff Writer Casey Swart recommends Tune Track.

While Spotify wrapped is always a Christmas present in itself, the app Tune Track provides your music statistics from not only the past year, but the past month, six months, and lifetime of your Spotify or apple music account. All encompassed in a single app, all year round.

2. Song Recommendation: Print Editor-In-Chief Sabrina Roach recommends “margarita sugar” by chrysalis (indigo + friends version)

Do you listen to Laufey, Mitski or Lorde? Do you love heart-wrenching vocals and comforting instrumentals? Maybe you have no idea what I’m talking about but need a song to listen to on the drive home in the dusk. “Margarita sugar” is the best song you’ve never heard of.

3. App Recommendation: Staff Writer Julian Vazquez recommends “Grammarly”.

An AI assistant that operates through your keyboard to correct grammar mistakes, tone, and clarity issues. Setup only takes a couple of minutes and you can use it in any circumstances you’d need a keyboard. The applications are endless and its benefits are enough to make it a standard routine throughout daily life.
