My favorite album would be Ma’ I got a family by NBA YoungBoy because the songs on there are a vibe and I can relate to them, I listen to them when I’m down or need to be lifted up. Also, one of my favorite songs on there is pay me I listen to very often also ben Lamount Mountain.

My favorite album this year was called Nostalgia by Rod Wave. The album was very relatable to this generation I feel, and encouraged people to keep on going, chase they’re dreams, and remember that it is always someone in this world. They’re 18 songs in the Nostalgia album and it reached Billboard Hot 100. All in all, this album is a great album and is highly recommended.

My favorite movie of this year would have to be Red One. Red one was a very funny and unserious move, but as the same time it was filled with a lot of action. Being disgusted as an elf in mall but actually protecting the real Santa was odd to me but it was hilarious how serious he took his job. Finally thinking he would be able to retire, Santa is missing, Due to jack being able to track him they find him and the two go quest to go find Santa. The movie is filled with so many twists.

My favorite movie that came out in 2024 is Inside Out 2. I could relate to some of the emotions, and it was better than the first Inside Out movie, but anxiety was very annoying and I kind of didn’t like them.

My favorite game was Marvel Rivals because the game is so much better than Overwatch with some of my favorite characters like Spiderman, Magneto, Venom, and Thor. But the characters I play the most are Iron Fist and my favorite character Magik.

In this year of 2024, I listened to a lot of music, but two music albums especially had my heart instantly after the first song ever even being played. My first album I loved when I heard was Billie Eilish’s new album ” Hit Me Hard and Soft”, My second album I absolutely loved was Tyler, The Creator and his new album “Chromakopia”. These two albums have my entire heart for the year of 2024, and I can’t wait to see the new music artist who decide to make more music.
Kai Clark
My favorite game this year is NBA 2K25. NBA 2k25 is my favorite game because of all the different game modes you can play featuring MyCareer, MyTeam, online Head-to-Head and many more. My favorite game mode on NBA 2k24 is my career where you create your own character and play in the NBA and try to be the greatest player of all time. This is why NBA 2k25 is my favorite game in 2024.

“Red One” is a fun Christmas movie for everyone. Dwayne Johnson plays an elf, and Chris Evans plays the tracker guy that has led to the kidnapping of Santa. They team up to save Christmas from a bad guy trying to spoil it. The movie has funny moments, exciting action, and a heartwarming message about working together. It’s perfect for families to watch during Christmas break. The story is easy to follow, and the characters are fun to watch. Kids will love the adventure, and grown-ups will enjoy the laughs. “Red One” is a great way to spend time with family and feel the joy of the Great Christmas Spirit.
Olivia Walker
My favorite movie of this year was definitely Wicked. I loved the makeup, costumes, and CGI. Arianna Grande and Cynthia Erivo made a wonderful duo, and their voices harmonized perfectly. Glinda’s character development had a nice flow, and it left on a cliffhanger that left me and everyone else in the theater excited to watch the second one next year.
Margarita Munoz
My favorite album of the year was by far the “Last Lap” album by Rodarius Green. This album consists of 23 songs and features Rylo Rodriguez, Lil Yachty and Lil Baby. This album in particular was special to me as I got to attend Green’s tour with songs from his new album. This album was my favorite compared to others since Green is one of my favorite rappers and due to the fact that a lot of the songs have catchy phrases which are often trending on TikTok.
Zaire McCrea
My favorite TV show would be Rick and Morty because it gives me a good laugh sometimes and it makes me exercise my brain to really think and make a lesson to be learned out of nothing the show keeps me thinking and that means my brain is exercising when I’m watching it and what it exercises is my ability to come up with different solution to one problem that’s why it’s one of my favorites it helps me build a life skill in a good way.

Arcane League of Legends kicked off with its second and final season. I think this season was even better than the last one. The art style feels evolved and has multiple different forms that show throughput the season, my particular favorites where it was made to seem like it was drawn by hand but still keeping the fluidity of a 3D animation. The story was also just as emotional as the previous season with heavy emotions and plot twists.
Aniya Williams
In 2024, my favorite album was Model by Wallows.
Melina Morales
My favorite album this year was Submarine by the Marías. It is a beautiful album because it was written during the breakup between the main singer and one of the band members. The entire group experienced this heartbreak, and they wanted to release this album that discussed this breakup. It’s an album that was made to acknowledge this breakup, restore the connection between them through the creation of music. The fondness of this entire album really speaks, especially through my favorite songs on the album Sienna and No One Noticed.
Oscar Ross
NCAA 25 was my favorite game that came out this year. playing with college teams against my friends for the first time was very fun and exciting. The new college teams and players that I watch in real life and then playing with them on the game was very amusing. when the game first came out, the first month the game had so much hype and everyone was talking about it and then everyone started to watch real NCAA games.
Myles Sayles
My favorite game out of everything released this year was Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket. This was everything I was hoping it would be when it was announced, it’s essentially the next Pokémon Go from 2016. The core functionality of the game is entertaining and addicting, as well as simple enough to where practically everyone you know can pick it up and talk about it with you. The social aspects of the game are currently limited but when features like trading are added to the game, it’ll be one of the best games to have on your phone.
Owen Blair-Catala
Deadpool and the Wolverine. Funny, action packed, filled with cursing what’s not to love. One of the best Marvel movies in a while.
Zephyniis Wharton
My favorite album of the year was “Songs About You Specifically” by MICHELLE. It was the perfect mixture of pop, R&B, and indie rock. The themes were very GEN-Z, and I just thought it was very fitting for this year.
Nylah Stephens
A Movie called “Don’t Move,” this is a thriller movie about a woman who meets a man on a hike, Finn Wittrock gains her trust then tries to kidnap her. Injecting her with a paralytic agent, the woman finds ways to keep herself alive and try to escape the killer. Strong performances from Kelsey Asbille, who gives an eerie portrayal of a woman in anguish, add to the film’s tight atmosphere. The story deftly examines morality, desire, and guilt, providing an engaging and emotionally charged viewing experience.
Zachary Green
My favorite album of this year was from artist Kijan Boone. This album was my favorite from this year because of the relativeness from the messages in his songs to the hyped-up influencing beat.
