60s, 90s, 100s — what do they mean? Are they just numbers on a paper or a prophecy of future success? As much as the student who just received a 49% on their biology test would like to believe that those test grades are meaningless, the unfortunate but undeniable reality is that the numbers in angry red ink that haunt our nightmares are an accurate indicator of success.

From December 6 to December 10, the French council will be hosting a festive and charitable Christmas card sale. Between the stated dates, Christmas cards, costing $1.50 for one or $4 for three, will be available for purchase outside of the cafeteria during all three lunches. These cards will also come along with candy, likely Christmas-themed. As for the incentives, each card bought will count as an entry into a raffle for a chance to win a Squishmallow — a giant, cute, super soft plushie. Additionally, all proceeds from the sale will be donated to Holiday Heroes, a non-profit organization that aims to provide cheer to pediatric patients through a combination of in-person and virtual programs.

The hallucinations were the same as always. The same three-eyed felines and one too many winged birds slinking between the branches outside her window, singing away. Pollen and dust clouded the creases of her walls and furniture in a hydrodip smog. Her hands wove around the stem of one of the cocooned buds, too young to flower. The plant couldn’t help its innate hunger to spread, seemingly starved and equally as determined to leave no surface within the basement untouched.

There was an old hag sitting in front of my father’s bookstore. She was, as far as I could tell, extremely stubborn. She claimed that she could tell the future just by tasting someone’s blood. My father wanted her gone, of course, but there was no use in persuading her. She made quite a bit of money by sitting outside the bookstore.
