This video comes from the channel that goes by the username Peaceful Cuisine on YouTube. Peaceful Cuisine features a wide selection of cooking videos of aesthetically pleasing Japanese cuisine with music playing in the background, but what drew me to the channel was its cooking videos without any background noise. The only sounds you hear during the video are the pouring and mixing of ingredients. In this video the person is shown to be making sakura anpan, a Japanese sweet roll in the shape of sakura (cherry blossoms). Along with the satisfying visuals, the video also provides ingredient measurements and instructions in the description below the video. These videos would be considered as Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR), a popular trend that’s being spread around social media. The result is a lovely yet delicious looking pink pastry.



I chose to feature this video because I haven’t seen many ASMR videos that are similar to this one. I’ve seen eating, slime, and whispering, but not cooking ASMR. I also enjoy the feeling of calm and serenity I experience when watching this video. I was drawn to the video because the thumbnail showed an interestingly shaped pastry that I wanted to know how to make.
Not only is this video a method for you to calm down, but a learning experience in which you can learn how to make a new form of pastry. It combines two appealing aspects into one video. The video is simplistic and doesn’t have too many things going on at once, so it is easy for the viewer to pay attention to what is happening.

Guest post by rising sophomore Sandra Thein, photos courtesy of Kelly Ryu and Emilie Kono I love those college YouTube videos: “2018 COLLEGE DECISION REACTIONS - IVY LEAGUE AND MORE!” The enthusiasm and gratitude the applicants radiate upon hearing where they will be spending the next four years of their lives is inspiring and motivating for a high school student like me.  I'm also inspired by students closer to home. Graduating senior Emilie Kono is a student athlete with a love for science and music. "Bo th in and outside of school," says Kono, "my family, friends, coaches, teachers and mentors have all been incredibly supportive in pushing me to reach my full potential; I can’t thank them enough! I knew that I wanted to be at an academically high achieving school and Stanford was an excellent choice. Between the incredible professors, facilities and some of the brightest students in the nation, I knew that I would be lucky to join them.” The only

By Faith Pauken, www.cardinaltimes.org staff member All photos by Faith Pauken Photojournalism is a form of journalism that provides images to aid in the telling of a story or news. Pictures contribute to the overall perception one may have about an article. By giving the reader a visual, they’re able to imagine what the event looked like, whether that’s showing what 100,000 people look like during a protest, or the face of an artist. During my journey through photography over the last year, I’ve been able to expand my knowledge on what makes a good photo, how to track people down and how to manage unexpected obstacles. Football/Sports Photography My personal favorite event to photograph for the last two years has been football. The fall sports season is packed with events having football easily be the most popular event on a Friday evening which makes it an important event to capture. If someone misses one game they feel like they missed out; this is where my job

Frankie Lopez Profile By: Alexander Rozas When you picture a star soccer player’s life, you might imagine them attractive, popular and smart. However, soccer star Francisco Lopez was depressed, bullied and during his professional career was riddled with sports anxiety. Now he helps kids who are going through the same mental problems he did. Lopez remembers that the peak of his soccer career was in his senior year of high school where McMinnville High School made the finals. “Before that, not many people came to the games, but during the finals over 4,000 people came to support the team,” said Lopez. The game ended with McMinnville beating the powerhouse Jesuit 8-7 in a penalty shootout. It was a dream come true. “Winning the State Championship was the best feeling of my life and I haven’t been able to replicate that feeling or experience,” said Lopez. “It really brought the community together.” Lopez ended up bringing the trophy home with him and slept with
