Certain colleges that made the SAT optional are now reinstating the test for future applicants. Though this topic has been in discussion since the return of in person learning after the COVID-19 pandemic, students now wonder if they should pay to take the test and how much it really affects an applicant's profile.

Every year seniors are faced with the same struggles upon returning to their final year of high school. Almost immediately after returning to school, seniors must begin college applications of varying length and effort.

The Santa Ana winds, aptly nicknamed the devil winds, are notorious for their hot, dry nature and tendency to generate critical fire weather conditions in coastal Southern California. They typically blow through the months of September to May and occur when high pressure builds up over the Great Basin (the geographic area framed by the Rocky Mountains and Sierra Nevada) while a region of low pressure is present over the Southern Californian coast. The difference in pressure between the two areas creates a strong pressure gradient, causing the weather phenomenon known as the Santa Ana winds. As the winds flow down slope through mountain passes and canyons, they gradually gain velocity, lose moisture, compress and warm-up.
