Bill Nye the Science Guy is a cultural icon who has taught millions all over the globe, and almost everyone has something good to say about him. Regular science teachers on the other hand are often despised. Why is that? I believe that it’s due to how the material is presented, for example Bill Nye is hyperactive and keeps his audience engaged with every little segment, while science teachers are often slow and unengaging. This causes students to gravitate towards Bill Nye over regular teachers.
I decided to watch an episode of Bill Nye about Chemistry. This is because I was learning about it in class and I felt like I learned the material better, and it was more fun. Although Bill Nye talks fast and everything is a little sped up for the purpose of putting as much as you can in a 20 min video you do get a lot of information.
This being said, it does not mean you should watch Bill Nye over paying attention to teachers.This is because although Bill Nye is more fun and you get a bang for your buck, in science class the teachers go into in depth detail and make sure you understand the material. The video I watched on Bill Nye only covered half of the unit from my science class and it didn’t really help for the inevitable test. While all this is true, Bill Nye is a great way to scratch the surface of any science topic and is a very fast/enjoyable way of getting this information.

As a senior in CIC I’m feeling a lot of emotions due to graduation approaching. I will be attending CSUDH for the following four years and I am ecstatic for a new start with different people on a different campus. The class of 2022 had half of sophomore year cut short and continued junior year online. Most students didn’t take the SAT as it wasn’t mandatory and this was a relief to most. From being a freshman not knowing where all the buildings were and rushing to class to now approaching graduation in less than 3 months is unreal. Within these past four years we’ve all witnessed the stress during finals, our first dance, learning how to be independent, and creating endless memories with friends we’ve created. It’s unfortunate that no longer will I be walking through these hallways or hearing the loudspeaker every morning as a student at Poly but the memories will forever remain.
I asked a couple of seniors on their decisions after high school. 48% of these seniors decided to go to a CSU, 15% of seniors decided on a UC and 37% of seniors are deciding to go to a community college. One Poly Senior, Julianna Ponce in Pacrim, will be attending LBCC and transferring to a 4 year college after completing her first two years. Although she is excited to leave, she’s a bit nervous about adulthood. It sure might feel overwhelming transitioning from highschool and adapting to the very different environment of college. Senior Jocelyn Gonzalez in Justice will be attending either a CSU or LBCC and will pursue her career path in forensic physiology. Gonzalez commented, “I am overwhelmed but excited.” The path to adulthood is never easy but our hope is seniors take advantage of the time they have left here at Poly and approach these new experiences with lots of enthusiasm.
Poly is a big school with lots of students and a lot of activity, and it’s especially active at lunch. It’s a good thing that our school is so lively and full of energy, but one of the biggest problems our school has is what our campus looks like when lunch is over.This school year, it seems as if the campus has more trash outside and near the trashcans than actually in them, and that’s where the problem starts.
There are trash cans everywhere on campus, you can’t walk around for too long without seeing one. The question really is: If we have trash cans available, why is there still so much trash on the floor?
The answer is simply just laziness and lack of concern, and that’s not good enough. If you can put your trash so close to the trash can, you can spend a couple extra seconds making sure your trash ends up in the trash can. I’ve seen whole pizza slices left on the floor, along with trays and juice boxes and bags of chips. The trash that is left on the floor causes so many other problems, like the seagulls that fly around during and after lunch is over.
The seagulls that fly around here are looking for food. The food they find is our leftovers that are left on the floor. I don’t know about you, but I think the chances of being pooped on by a bird on the way to fifth period is too high. That chance could easily drop if trash was left where it’s supposed to be, in the trash can.
Poly’s trash problem has an easy fix: put your trash where it belongs, not on the floor. If a trash can is full, go to another one. It really isn’t difficult. The trash left behind for someone else or something else to clean up is unacceptable. We as a school can all do better at keeping our campus clean.
On February 28, 2022, Russia had invaded Ukraine, killing at least 352 people. Shortly after these tragic events, Kylie Jenner took to Instagram to say, “God protect the people of Ukraine,” and, “My thoughts and prayers are with you.” Here’s where the story should end, but unfortunately it doesn’t. Just 2 hours later, Jenner posted a promotional video for her company’s new range of lip kits and colors. Many people were a bit caught by this. Not liking the idea of self promotion after handing out “sympathy” to others who need it.
In my opinion, Jenner only posted her “thoughts and prayers” to Ukraine so she could get it out of the way. When you are someone who constantly has eyes on you, any move could be the wrong one. If Jenner went days without posting anything about Ukraine, she would have gotten backlash for a different thing. @ellenaliisa_, a user on Twitter took the time to say, “I hope i’m not the only one annoyed by the fact, that (for example) Kylie Jenner hasn’t shown ANY support to Ukraine today on her social media, and instead just posts about her new lipkits??” Ellen had said that she was quite irritated that Jenner had just been posting and posting about her cosmetics line, and not about Ukraine. This is a perfect example of different perspectives. Jenner would have received the hate anyways. I think she just posted that so people would stop giving her backlash for not saying anything at all. That being the reason she just carried on with her new cosmetics being out.
Now that Ms. Jenner had actually posted something, why were people still upset? The reason being that she is claimed, by many individuals, to be “tone deaf.” The definition of “tone deaf” is described as “insensitive and offensive as a result of not noticing the current social context.” So many perspectives of this situation are coming out. Many are saying that Jenner could have waited a minimum of 24 hours before posting a promotion for her own benefit. Lavanya VJ on Meaww.Com wrote, “Kylie Jenner has been branded ‘tone deaf’ after she promoted her new range of lip glosses on social media , right after she sent her prayers to people of Ukraine suffering from Russian invasion on Monday.” A user on tik tok also said, “All I’m gonna say is- look up the words ‘tone deaf’ for those of you who are defending someone who will never know you exist.” Jenner has also been called out for faking her sympathy for the Astroworld incident back in October 2021. Everyone learns from their mistakes, but seeing that Jenner did this exact same thing twice says that she’s very ignorant and does not know how to read the room. When people are dying, it is never right to promote yourself higher. Jenner could have donated to the many pages all over the internet to help Ukraine instead of posting a simple “I’m Sorry.” So many other great people are donating money and educating their followers about the situation. There are so many better ways she could have shared how she felt, and so many things she could have done to actually help the people of Ukraine. If her sympathy was completely authentic, she would be doing anything she can to help because we all know that saying a simple two words will not help anyone or anything. Jenner needs to own up to her mistakes and at least attempt to learn from them.
As Covid-19 rates die down, CoDC officials say we’re approaching an end to the global pandemic, at least in the nation.m m s/ Therefore, on February 28, California Governor Newsom announced starting March 1, the outdoor mask mandate will be lifted for both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. Adding on, it was announced that most indoor settings such as schools and any childcare facilities would no longer require masks from March 11. Schools could have their own update on policies about the requirement of masks after the mandate lift goes into effect.
LBUSD posted an update of their policies on February 28, after Newsom’s announcement. The update of the policies state the new guidance would take effect on March 12, meaning from then on, masks are only strongly recommended at school but not required. This obviously causes a lot of controversy on going back to “normal life” or just continuing to personally use a mask.
In my opinion, I don’t see life ever going back to before masks off because it just doesn’t seem normal anymore. Adding on, as we saw during winter break, Covid cases surged throughout those months reaching numbers we’ve never seen before. Who’s to say during spring break cases won’t start increasing again?
I personally really don’t see the cons of wearing masks, they help with so much. Not only do they protect others and yourself, it helps with anxiety, not wearing makeup or covering a zit, hiding facial expressions, and so much more. Masks have always been controversial for whatever reason, so we will see how many people take advantage of the lifting of the mandate.
I’m honestly really curious to see how it goes and who participates in it, just for fun. I wonder if teachers will also partake in the mask lift.
December is coming soon, and an interview was made to get students’ opinions on their favorite songs to listen to during december.In the results, Ariana Grande was a very popular singer who students listened to during december. At 3rd place, with 4 picks was “Sympathy for the Grinch” by 100 gecs. At second place, with 6 picks was “Last Christmas” by Ariana Grande. And at 1st place,with 9 picks was “Santa Tell Me” by Ariana Grande.
My personal list is “All I want for Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey. “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree” by Brenda Lee. And “Feliz Navidad” by Jose Feliciano.
Halloween Kills, starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Andi Matichak, is slated to come out this October 15 in theaters and on the Peacock streaming platform.
The movie, which is a direct sequel to Halloween (2018), is releasing after multiple trailers have dropped, including a final trailer that was posted on September 20. The trailers have been accompanied by lots of promotional material across different social media platforms.
The movie is set to focus on the main Strode women, who have been terrorized by Michael Myers for three generations.
“After watching the trailer, the approach the movie is going in with them seems well written,” said Poly PACE sophomore Genevie Lumada. “They correlate with modern day change of women empowerment and I’m all for it.”
The movie is also supposed to be one of the goriest installments of the franchise so far. The trailer alone shows Michael Myers on a rampage, killing multiple characters in a few seconds alone.
Joshua Chauy, a Poly CIC freshman, shared, “It looks really nice, with all of the gore. I’m ex- cited.”
The film is additionally shown to be a nostalgic callback for diehard Halloween fans. The final trailer shows characters from the original movie, like Tommy Doyle and Lindsey Wallace, being terrorized by Michael Myers once again, 43 years later.
“I notice all of the kids are grown up in the trailer, which is exciting,” Chauy added, “But I don’t think it will be better than the original.”
However, some who have been disappointed with the Halloween movies are hoping Halloween Kills will revitalize the series.
Victoria Heng, a Poly PACE sophomore, said she is, “…hoping it’s better than the original… I was underwhelmed by the Halloween franchise’s earlier movies.”
The release of Halloween Kills adds to the excitement horror fans are feeling during the month of October. On top of the film, the trailer for the upcoming movie Scream (2022) was released alongside the first episode of the new Chucky TV series on October 12. The new television series, I Know What You Did Last Summer, an adaptation of the novel and 1997 slasher with the same name, is also set to come out on October 15.
According to astrology, celestial incidents coincide with human activity, but is that really true? In western astrology, astrological signs or Zodiac signs are twelve 30 degree sectors that make up the 360 degree orbit the Earth does around the Sun. The signs are named after constellations the sun annually passes through. Each Zodiac sign spans about a month within the year. The first sign is Aries that begins in spring, then there’s Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Your zodiac sign is said to have a personality trait or character that relates with you. Do certain occurrences in the sky affect our character? Are we our Zodiac sign? The High Life staff weighs in with their thoughts:
Sierra Brott-Hunter
My sign is a Virgo. My daily horoscope today relates to who I am really well because it said, “In true Virgo fashion, you’re in the mood to be productive and get things out the door.” The way I feel about astrological signs and horoscopes in general is that I think they’re cool. I relate to my sign in general so much that people always tell me, “omg that is such the Virgo in you!” and my friends and my family always tell me I have the motherly traits and that I can be very truthful even if it does come out mean.
Zinia Francis
I am a Leo. My sign describes me almost completely. Leos are said to be creative, boastful, a pleasure to be around, and people who enjoy being celebrated. I would agree that I am creative. I tend to look at many things from an artistic point of view. I enjoy making art such as poetry, painting, drawing and even making clothes. I also can confirm my courageousness, with any obstacle put before me I always go into the situation with the confidence that I will overcome it. I don’t think I love attention very much but I do agree that I can be boastful by the way I change my hair styles frequently, but when my hair is not done I will have an attitude. Over the years I have noticed friends and family gravitating towards me because of my caring and warm demeanor. Lastly, as a Leo I do enjoy having the attention and time of my loved ones, I like to know that I am wanted around.
Xandria Hines
I am a Virgo. Usually, when I go on a curiosity-filled zodiac hunt for my sign and any information/predictions on it, the most common idea I can find about my sign is that we’re commonly task-oriented, over-analytical perfectionists. With this explanation, however, one much more detailed than others I’ve been able to find on the internet, resonated with me more than others I’ve seen. The idea that Virgos are mild-tempered and calm, their earth element keeping them humble and ‘down-to-earth’, and using their attention to detail to help others is something I believe describes the basis of my ideas well. They also bring in how their ideas and idealism can keep them mentally detached from the present, too caught up in the detail of the past or future to keep their head from the clouds and enjoy the moment, is something I’ve begun to struggle with, especially with the stress of the past year. I would never say any one person can describe a large group of people perfectly, but I would say this would describe some of my recent struggles and ideals very well. Would I ever say that my birthday alone has shaped me into the person I am today? Absolutely not.
Caleb Dunomes
My sign is a Gemini. The astrology.com website says that the personality of a Gemini is “active,” using words like loving, social, and lighthearted to their interactions with other people. The weaknesses of a Gemini make them seem “all over the place,” and describes them as being unable to commit to responsibilities and relationships while also having a noticeably short attention span. Hearing about this single description of a Gemini and many of the traits seem like they align with my personality. I can see myself aligning with the social side of being a Gemini since I enjoy social interactions and try my best to be lighthearted when socializing with others. But I don’t think I’d describe myself as “active” to a point where I am not “trustworthy.” My active attitude and personality doesn’t really interfere with my goals and passions.
High Life Adviser Daryl Holmlund
I generally think that any alignment between the signs and reality is coincidental. However, I’m an Aries, and I must admit that what people have told me about the fire sign characteristics seem to match up with me. I’m definitely passionate and impulsive, and I love starting projects but sometimes don’t finish them in a timely manner. I’m a charismatic leader but not great with organization and taking care of the little details. I love new things, new places, new experiences. I can sometimes be too direct or harsh when talking with people I care about, and don’t always realize that I’ve hurt their feelings. All of these are Aries characteristics. But… I also love learning and sharing information, a Gemini characteristic; I’m curious, like a Scorpio; and I have a lot of friends and acquaintances like an Aquarius. So, am I a true Aries? Kinda? Do I think it’s because I was born under a certain sign? No.
Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, I have learned a lot about myself and my ambitions. Moreover, one thing that I have learned that to achieve my goals I have to both believe in my dreams and believe that my dreams will come true. I have learned this after a year of losses and failures followed by lessons and successes. All of my challenges during track practice, online schooling and just life in general has forced me to grow up, manage time and even take time off for myself when I need to. Especially track practice, with us seniors having so much pressure to perform and put our names out there, I’ve been forced to believe in myself and all of my hard work. Because of these challenges, I have become even more ambitious, hard working and confident. In fact, I don’t think I truly knew and felt the definitions of ambition, hard work and confidence until this year.

This past year, going through school during the pandemic has been one of the weirdest times of my life. It’s sucked in so many ways, but nothing good goes to anyone without hardship. When the pandemic started, I thought that Covid infection rate would cool off enough for schools to be open by fall. It didn’t. But I was surprised to find that the online classes, the work, and my attention, seemed much easier than usual. It was common for me to get a large barrage of A’s with a B or two mixed in, but now on the honor roll, I’ve been able to find my preferred, and more productive way, of taking classes, and will most likely test this out more in-depth in the future, though hopefully not in the same circumstance.
Sierra Brott-Hunter
The Covid-19 pandemic taught me not to take anything for granted, it showed who are my real friends. You should spend more time with loved ones and you should enjoy life. That time and life is very valuable and precious . It taught me that I can focus on my mental and physical health more, and also made me more mature. It has changed me in a positive way. Online school can be easy but hard and I have learned to find myself and become who I want to be. I have learned something new. I’ve learned to play the keyboard, though I’m not that great at it yet. I can go in my backyard and do school work instead of staying inside, I can take my dogs for a run. It taught me a lot of interior design and I also got better at painting.
Kelly Rodriguez
The past year we have been in the pandemic I learned things about myself; self-love was the first important thing. I also went away for a month to Georgia. I started to appreciate nature. I went to Georgia with my two sisters and my cousin. We went to visit my mom’s sister and her kids. It was great. I got really close to my cousins. I also went hiking a lot. I learned that nature is so pretty – like, I couldn’t believe what my eyes were seeing. It was a way to keep me calm. It helps a lot just seeing nature. You get a lot of things out of your mind. I feel like I have grown. I want to be independent now without my mom doing it for me.
Zinia Francis
The Covid-19 pandemic has pushed me to become closer with myself. With not being able to see many of my loved ones and with many outdoor activities being cancelled, I was forced to be my own entertainment. To occupy myself, I explored my interest in many different areas, such as cooking, trying new foods, doing hair, working out, reading books, and writing. Doing these activities have brought me to feel comfort in my own company. During the pandemic I also realized that, like many people, I never used the time I had alone productively. I was constantly trying to avoid being alone and in the process I didn’t take advantage of being by myself. I have grown strong mentally in this past year. I thank the pandemic for my growth.
Alex Phouma
I think the pandemic helped people find out what they want out of life. Since we had to go into a lockdown in the beginning of the pandemic, it gave people time to think. For example I know people have had to rethink where they wanna work or what they want to do, and some students are thinking about college. For me, as a senior in high school, turning 18, it made me think about college and what I want to do as a career. I just think that helped people think about life.

March 13, 2020, a date which will live in infamy. There are other dates that marked the beginning of the Covid-19 era for other groups of people – for NBA players, coaches, and fans it might be Rudy Gobert’s positive test on March 11, the same day the WHO also officially characterized the spread of coronavirus as a pandemic. But for teachers and students, that Freaky Friday the 13th was the last day in the classroom – and for many students, the last day with their friends – for over a year.
This is a collection of thoughts from the High Life staff and adviser about what we have missed over the past 13 months – or what we feel we have missed out on.
Xandria Hines, Staff Writer
I feel like I missed out on an entire year of my life. My family and I were supposed to do some travelling and visiting family. Getting together and celebrating smaller achievements and happy moments. My friends and I, too, most of whom are other seniors, won’t be able to have a normal prom or graduation. We would be standing so far apart from one another, unable to dance like weirdos or mingle with other groups, that there would be no point in going. Most of the smaller things in life you look forward to aren’t possible, because they’re done outside, or with others. It kind of sucks all the emotions out of you, and I miss that as well.
Sierra Brott-Hunter, Staff Writer
I feel what I missed out is going to family gatherings. I missed out on seeing my best friend that lives an hour away and missed going to her birthday. I missed going to Disneyland, Knotts, going to the park. Missed going to concerts. I miss seeing my friends and going to movies with and just having fun. Just going outside. I miss going to the mall and just being able to chill. I miss going bowling. Going on trips with friends and family.
Kelly Rodriguez, Staff Writer
I feel like I missed out on being a teenager. I am going to be 18 already and we’ve been in quarantine for a year. I didn’t get to be in school doing fun things, going to games, or hanging out with friends since it wasn’t safe. Also, my friend’s parents were scared to let their kids out because it wasn’t safe. Another thing is that I spend my time on the TV and on my phone. I think that my whole family can’t stand each other because we weren’t able to go out and it was all of us in a house, fighting most of the time because we didn’t have space. Till this day my friend can’t go out because her parents are still scared. I only have one friend now. I lost touch with everyone I use to hang out with a lot.
Alex Phouma, Staff Writer
Something that I feel like I missed out on is my last year of high school. For seniors it’s our last year of high school, and after high school you have to become more independent and responsible. You gotta worry about college, for those who decided to go, while balancing working, and the little milestones like being leading and able to drive to get to those places.
Caleb Dunomes, Staff Writer
Throughout the beginning of the pandemic everyone had lost access to so many experiences and activities. Things like access to loved ones and significant others, big sporting events and even once in a lifetime school experiences. Personally, I have missed out on the true teenager experience. With both my junior and senior year being taken away I’ve lost the opportunity to go to dances, go to big track meet invitationals (like Arcadia, Redondo, Arizona and more), and even events outside of school. It felt like I was on the top of the world, going to Disneyland during February (before Covid was seen as a threat) directly after three months filled with events like club events, track meets, Black college expos and fun memories with my friends. Now it feels like I won’t be able to experience that anymore. My life now has just been working, track practice and homework assignments. Covid has made me feel like I’m being forced into growing up without experiencing things that teenagers experience. Now all us seniors can do is grow and face the unpredictable future.
Zinia Francis, Staff Writer
The past year has felt like someone pressed fast forward. I feel like I have missed a significant part of my teenage years. Since I was younger I’ve always wanted to have a true high school/teenage experience like going out after school with friends, sleep overs, hanging out on the weekends, going to amusement parks and having parties. So far as a seventeen year old I haven’t experienced the fun I have been yearning for. The Covid pandemic started when I was sixteen and I will be eighteen in three months. Up until I was sixteen I hadn’t had many outings with friends or was very social in general . I had begun to come out of my shell shortly before the quarantine. I’ve missed out on being social and simply taking advantage of having no responsibility.
Daryl Holmlund, Adviser
Immediately after the home quarantine began, I realized that I wasn’t going to be able to visit my 99 year-old grandma over Spring Break in April – not just because flying to Chicago by plane seemed incredibly risky at the time, but also because she was in a retirement home that was locked down to keep the virus out. Grandma turned 100 in March, and while some family members visited her for her birthday, most of us didn’t feel safe or right flying in and potentially bringing the virus with us to infect other family members. We had a nice Zoom call with family, but it wasn’t the same, and I can’t help but think that if circumstances were different, we would have had a bit of a family reunion. I’m hopeful that I’ll get to see grandma and others this summer, but it won’t be the same as it would have been celebrating on her actual birthday.
Jackrabbits are officially returning to school! As of March 2021, Polytechnic High School and the rest of LBUSD has announced that students are able to take a survey and decide if they would like to return to school and do hybrid learning or continue doing school online.
I feel like this is a good thing because I have noticed that many students have slept during Zoom sessions or do not take online classes as seriously. So I feel like having that hybrid option could really help students bring up their grades.
On the other hand, Covid-19 is still going around, so when students return it could expose students to the virus. We would have to do things like clean desks, wear a mask the whole time and keep our distance from teachers and other students.
Me personally, I think I will continue to do online instead of hybrid. I feel like the two days of the week in school isn’t going to help or affect me or my grade. I would like to return to school, but only if everything was back to normal. Overall, I think hybrid learning will be a lot of help for many students who can get on-hand help if they need it, but I don’t think it would be worth it for me.
To start off, I feel like going back to school next month is pointless because of the fact that we are going back only for one month and we are gonna be doing the same thing that we do at home only in the classroom environment. I think that there isn’t really a reason to go back if we are about to graduate. The fact we only have a little bit of time left, and having no Senior Activities, it makes no sense for us to go back and have just one month of Senior year. I have chosen to stay online to finish the school year.
In my opinion staying home is the best choice for me and it’s better for me in a working environment, without distractions. It’s a plus for the students who don’t do too great in school because they can work at their own pace and turn in the assignments as late as they want without having to stress about it. It’s good because I get to take breaks if I need it and if I want to go ahead, I can go ahead and do the work if I already know what to do. I feel like online school has helped a lot of the kids who don’t pay attention in class to get better grades and be more successful in a way, because the kids can work and do school anywhere they want, as long as there is wifi around.
Aside from the first paragraph, there are cons with online schooling because there are things that kids can do in the comfort of their home without teachers supervision. Students feel like they can do what they want whenever they want, and the fact that we can turn off our cameras makes it easy for us to get up and do other things while in school.
There are tons of cons with online schooling, but the main one that I hear the most is that some people have bad Wifi and they can’t do the work and get to class because it’s a stream from the cloud that uses data to transfer the video to one computer to the other. Teachers need to understand that some people have really bad wifi and sometimes the Wifi is so bad they can’t even log into Canvas or Zoom, and we can’t control that. Another reason why people have problems doing online school is that they have an old computer or laptop that is crappy, and the system is old and can’t keep up with how much data is being transferred on Zoom, causing the computer to run slow and act up.
I would love to go back to school and get back in the habit of being in a classroom environment, but if we are going back and doing the same thing that we are doing at home, then there is no point in doing that. I can work at home in the comfort of a nice chair, desk, computer, and lay down in my bed without having to ask the teacher. At school the desks and chairs are uncomfortable and make our backs and butts hurt after long periods of sitting, and we have to ask to get up and do things that we can do at home.
To conclude my opinion, I think that online school has helped me and other people do better in school even if there are problems with it. Sometimes online school can be stressful because we have so many things that can happen in our households, and I feel that teachers understand what we have to go through with online school and that makes us students feel better, because we know we are not the only ones that feel the same about online schooling.
