After recently being bitten by her lizard Myungi, sophomore Lauren Kan rejoices when she opens Myungi’s cage to an obedient attitude. To her, the most rewarding thing of owning reptiles is earning their trust. Kan is no stranger to animals, currently owning 23 pets—17 of her own reptiles, three rescued reptiles and three dogs. Through her nonprofit organization, Loving Herps SoCal Rescue, she gives surrendered reptiles—reptiles that have been given up by their owner — a safe place to thrive before a new owner is found. “I have always had a really big passion for animals, so I’m happy...

Everytime I opened up my Instagram reels, my mouth began to water as I scrolled past the viral Korean corn dog mukbangs. I got two of the most popular items from Mochinut at 3088 W Temple Ave in Pomona: the Hot Cheetos ($6.00) and potato ($6.00) Korean corn dogs. The Hot Cheetos corn dog had a crunchy outside that paired well with the gooey cheese. The spicy coating packed flavor with each bite, making the Hot Cheetos corn dog my favorite of the two. The potato corn dog was covered in crispy potato cubes, giving it a unique texture, but it lacked flavor compared to the Hot Cheetos corn...
