MTA Public Transportation
by Aden Thomas Do you agree with the public transportation prices? It’s 2025 and in New York the MTA public transportation price is $2.90 for one fare. A one fare is just one way so that's to your destination and not back. If you were to pay for a two way trip there and back the total price would be $5.80 which rounds up to $6 dollars for one day. Most people take two way trips from home to school or work and continue to do that for 5 days a week, that would total up to $14.

The Intrigue of Piercing
by Annaliese Alexander My name is Annaliese, I'm 16 years old, and I have 23 piercings. That probably sounds crazy right? My piercing count is older than me. I became intrigued with piercings by seeing them on other people. My mom had lower and upper ear piercings on both sides of her ears and I always thought “ouu pretty.” Maybe that's what really started to get piercings imprinted into my mind, who knows. Not only did I see piercings on my mom, I’d see piercings on people
