AP testing is done, finals are under way, and I’ll be leaving soon. If that’s not excuse to get a little bit crazy, then get off your high horse of prudery and come kick over some trashcans with me.
In Pleasanton we’re lucky enough to be surrounded by many local small businesses with great products, and as teenagers it’s often our inclination to explore them. This week we’d like to introduce you Nuubia Chocolat, premier handmade chocolates that make us want to tell everyone about it! What local business do you like supporting? Tell us!!!
We produced this special video for all of the FHS 2012-2013 Sports meetings happening this week. Thanks to everyone who contributed footage (Editor’s note: that process involved a bit of Facebook lurking on our part- sorry). Go Falcons!!!

Playlist of the Week: Alec Kron
Let’s face it: we all enjoy music. Despite how hard the reality is to face, everyone has to eventually accept that different people have different opinions about what “good music” really is. We at Inflight don’t expect you, the reader, to forfeit your opinions about the natural and self-evident superiority of your specific taste. However, it wouldn’t hurt to check out what others are listening to this week, too, specifically us, the writers.
As the end of school looms and the endless prospects of summer near, Foothill needs a playlist that explores the entire emotional spectrum of the coming months. From the pressure to neatly wrap up the school year, to the joys of (relative) summer freedom, to the intense soul-searching that climaxes with the new year, we need the right music to “fit the bill.” I’ve purposely left out any descriptions for the songs below, partially because it’s late, but mostly because I believe that all mediums of art ought to be viewed as transient and not static; they take different forms and leave different impressions based on the environment of the listener. Each of the selected songs has a message that I believe to be relevant to the events to take place in the next several months for Foothill students, regardless of the differences among you.
So without further ado, it is my pleasure to present Inflight’s playlist of the week with only one request: please leave all Vanilla Ice and Black Eyed Peas jokes at the door. Seriously, they’re not funny.
Listen to this playlist on Spotify!
