![ONE LAST RIDE The latest installment of Stranger Things has sparked controversy throughout the fan base for questionable creative decisions. Freshman Jordan Nguyen states his strong opinions on the conclusion. “I’d rate the show an 8,” Nguyen said. “The majority of the show was good.

Between Nov. and Dec. 2024, 57 respondents voted for their favorite songs, artists, and albums.

Students like senior Payton Bauer encourages others to check out other popular singers, if they haven’t already. “I would say [listen to Carpenter] if you're [wanting to] feel good about yourself,” Bauer said. “Or maybe you just want something to work out or dance to. [Her music is] really fun.”](https://thescarletscroll.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Orange-Black-Why-Vinyl-Records-Rock-Music-Infographic-e1738774839991.png)
