THE THIRD STIMULUS PACKAGE. Over a year has passed since the COVID-19 pandemic first reached American soil, and since then, economic havoc has been wrought over us all. Now, almost two months into the Biden administration, the nation is watching as the campaign promise of another round of aid is reaching Congressional floors. On February 27, 2021, the House of Representatives passed a $1.9 trillion stimulus package, voting on close party lines at 219-212 in the favor of Democrats in order to pass the controversial bill. Now we wait as the legislation enters the Senate chambers, and the future of the stimulus package is decided. Learn more about the actual contents of the package, when we might see it pass, the minimum wage deal tied alongside the ordeal, and more below!

WARM WEATHER. After a week of snowy days and below-freezing temperatures, warm spring days are just what we need. In addition to the many physical benefits that come from a quick walk around the block or hike in the woods, simply being outside greatly benefits our mental health.

ADDICTED. As High School Students, we are constantly moving; constantly doing homework, working, studying, and participating in extracurriculars. We hardly have time to relax, much less get a full nine hours of sleep. To keep up with our busy schedules and sleep deprivation, most of us turn to caffeine. Whether it's a coffee on the way to school, a monster at lunch, or a soda after school, caffeine is a part of a majority of teens' diets.
According to the National Sleep Foundation teens (14-17) need 8-10 hours of sleep and young adults (18-25) need 7-9 hours of sleep. Shockingly, a 2018 study revealed that only 27% of teens are meeting this criterion (AAP News). This overwhelming loss of sleep and exhaustion is probably what leads most teens to make their first cup of coffee.
Caffeine addiction is the reliance on caffeine and is common among teens and young adults. Caffeine addictions can be subtle and you may not even realize if you have one. Furthermore, a reliance on caffeinated beverages may not seem all that awful but it can lead to many unwanted symptoms and health effects.
