Intersections Winter 2026

Image by Sarah Kurfe on Unsplash A new major update is right around the corner for the popular hit game, Animal Crossing New Horizons. Nintendo has cut new content and updates to New Horizons since November 14, 2022. It seems this update might have been caused in part by the recent release of the Switch 2. Customers are able to buy an upgraded copy of the game, though it isn’t needed for the update. The revival of an already 6-year-old game has also revived the argument of which Animal Crossing game is better. The debate between the newest and soon to be updated Animal Crossing New Horizons, or the much beloved previous installment, Animal Crossing New Leaf.  After New Leaf’s initial release in 2012, it became an instant hit for new and existing fans of the series. After nearly eight years of silence following the initial release, fans were worried the series was over. Many fans lost hope until the year 2020, when Animal Crossing New Horizons was released. This new entry into the s...

  Image by Nanci Santos on Pixabay Have you ever wondered if it’s better to watch a movie or a series based on a famous person? Famous people along with influencers and serial killers often have multiple movies and series made based on their life. The ones I will be comparing are a movie and series about a man by the name of Jeffrey Dahmer. He is a well known serial killer that dismembered and murdered young men in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. For the people who don’t know and want to learn more about him but don’t want to do research might want to watch movies and series made about him. But the question is which one should they watch, one of the series or one of the movies? There is a movie by the name of My Friend Dahme r and a series by the name of Dahmer Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story . The series made in 2022 consists of 10 episodes, each about an hour long. The movie was made in 2017 and is an hour and 47 minutes long. If you want to spend less time finding out information about ...

By Krista Kvinsland The coffee industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in America. What was once a Pacific Northwest exclusive is now swiftly capturing the nation. Coffee chains and small businesses are popping up around every corner. With all of these new options, it’s important to know how they compare to one another. Dutch Bros and Starbucks are two of the most well-known coffee chains right now, and deciding which is better requires asking some questions. Which chain is more affordable for the average customer? With prices of everything increasing extremely in the past months, affordability when it comes to coffee is a priority. Buying an overpriced drink every day can seem unnecessary, but finding a place where you can get a good drink for a good price can be a gamechanger.  The average medium coffee is just under $6. If you are more of an energy drink person, the average is about the same for a medium. Dutch Bros has many extras and customizations that customers can...

Most people are torn between whether the franchise Dutch Bros or Starbucks is better than the other. Both are excellent in their own ways. Dutch Bros, in one way, are seen as better since they have a larger variety in drinks than Starbucks. To compare these two, it helps to know how it feels to be there and how the staff treats you. Knowing the comparison of their prices is another big factor in comparing them. Menu Starbucks is well known for its classic espresso drinks like their cappuccino and lattes, refreshers, cold or hot teas, and seasonal drinks like the pumpkin spice latte. Dutch Bros is more known for their variety in drinks like their Red Bulls drinks that you can add your own flavors making every drink unique. They have their own drinks too like Shark Attack (Red Bull fusion with blue raspberry, coconut, lime flavors and usually blended), Golden Eagle (Can get it iced or blended and it’s an espresso drink with half-and-half and added flavors like caramel and vanilla). Dutc...

by: Maritza Gomez Introduction M akeup is something most women use every day, whether it’s for confidence, self-expression, or just routine. When it comes to buying makeup, one of the biggest debates I've heard is whether drugstore products can really compete with high-end brands. Many people believe that higher price automatically means better quality, which is why brands like NARS are often seen as superior to drugstore options like e.l.f. While high-end makeup does have certain advantages, I believe drugstore products are still a great option and can perform just as well in many situations. The idea that you need expensive makeup for good results has some truth, but it is not completely accurate. D rugstore makeup brands like e.l.f. have improved a lot over the past years. From what I've noticed, the quality of their products have really become something dependable and something I can wear on a daily basis. When choosing a concealer, I've always heard that high-end prod...

  Earpods vs Airpods Headphones Not as often of a conversation now due to external factors, but at one point this was considered a difficult decision to be made, wired vs wireless headphones or more specifically earpods vs airpods. This is something I have to back and forth with personally so I consider myself experienced enough to give insight.   Why wired? Price! Price alone is one of the biggest catalysts for why people choose earpods over airpods. The cost to replace a single individual item from the set costs around ⅓ of the initial buying price, whereas if you were to lose the entire set of earpods it is cheaper to buy the entire set again than a single airpod or charging case. $69 for a single airpod replacement compared to the $19 cost for a set of wired earpods. Making them much convenient for students or those on a budget. Replacement airpod price Another reason is the plug and play adaptability with earpods as they just need to be plugged in universally with ...
