In this review by Summer Lu, 17, Costco is a restaurant serving samples in “tiny white cups like amuse-bouches” that are so tasty they’ll make you abandon your family shopping trip.Credit...Kerry Tasker for The New York Times

Walking into Costco on a Saturday evening feels like participating in a social experiment disguised as a buffet. We arrive as a family, united by a shared cart and a vague promise to “stick together.”

Then I notice the sample stations.

Strangers in Kirkland hats hold out tiny white cups like amuse-bouches for people who insist they are “just here for the essentials.” Because the portion is small and the price is zero, it feels consequence-free. No commitment beyond a polite nod and a quick “thank you.”

Those little paper cups make me drift away and circle back, as if summoned. At some point, my family keeps walking, confident the unit is intact.

At some point, I do not follow.

Here are the top three samples worth the betrayal.

1. Spring Rolls: The Restaurant Scam That Suddenly Feels Reasonable

I never order spring rolls at restaurants because I cannot emotionally accept paying $7 for two. Delicious, yes, but not worth nearly half an hour at minimum wage.

At Costco, however, my principles weaken.

I hover nearby, pretending to study frozen corn dogs as if sodium percentages have ever influenced my choices. Then it happens.

DING.

A fresh batch appears, golden and steaming, and the entire aisle subtly reorganizes itself. Carts stall mid-turn. Conversations pause. Children sit suspended in carts, too confused to even start crying.

I fight my way to the front of the crowd, securing my sample — a war won.

The wrapper shatters delicately before giving way to a hot, savory filling that tastes suspiciously restaurant-quality. In that moment, the markup feels justified, and I briefly reconsider my stance on capitalism.

2. Spinach Dip and Sweet Potato Chips: Wellness Cosplay

Spinach. Sweet Potato. The words alone suggest a version of myself who exercises recreationally and hydrates responsibly.

The sample tastes like the rare occasions when my non-appetizer, water-only family orders something to share at a fancy restaurant. The dip is warm and creamy; the chip is sweet and crisp in a way that feels almost virtuous. For several seconds, I inhabit the life of a Pilates princess, a health queen, and a person who owns a closet filled with matching workout sets.

While I briefly consider buying the tub and finally embarking on my New Year’s resolution three months late, my family has already advanced three aisles ahead.

Let’s not dwell on the reality that a small cup of creamy spinach dip can easily run 80 calories before accounting for the sweet potato chips. Costco lighting does not support that kind of introspection. Ignorance, like spinach dip, is bliss.

3. Cinnamon Sugar Donuts: Colasanti’s Nostalgia in a Paper Cup

I grew up going to Colasanti’s — the greenhouse where I fed goats, begged my parents for arcade tokens, and left clutching a paper bag of warm cinnamon sugar doughnuts dusting my shirt — a near-universal childhood memory for Windsor-Essex kids.

The Costco version is not the same, but on an empty stomach, it’s close enough.

The first bite is warm and sweet, cinnamon clinging to my fingers. For a moment, the warehouse disappears, and I’m back to being smaller, stickier and happier. I take one sample for myself and another “for my family,” fully aware that the second will not make it to them. It feels calorie-less because it is a sample, and necessary because it tastes like a memory.

When I look up, I realize that I have no idea where my parents are within this hundred-thousand-square-foot warehouse.

I consider finding them, but then the tray refills.

The Pittsburgh Symphony, here at their home in Heinz Hall, recently played Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5 at Carnegie Hall. Subin Kim, 15, recommends the masterpiece as one of three that will “make you fall in love with classical music.”Credit...Maddie McGarvey for The New York Times

In a world dominated by screens, you’d probably rather doomscroll or binge-watch “Stranger Things” than sit through an hour of a symphony.

As a chronically online teenager and devout K-pop listener, I get it. But a symphony isn’t a boring, overdone performance of a dead guy’s music: It’s a heartfelt story full of twists and turns. How else can you go on an emotional roller coaster and hear a narrative — with no words?

No more falling asleep at the symphony: Here are three masterpieces to make you fall in love with classical music.

1. Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4: Relatable for real

Billie Eilish isn’t the only artist who can translate her feelings into music; Tchaikovsky did it hundreds of years before. The symphony opens with a booming brass fanfare, crashing into you in a way you can’t ignore. Tchaikovsky pours his struggles with anxiety, loneliness and pressure into the symphony, making it deeply personal and relatable.

After the dramatic opening, the sweeping string lines reveal gentle, fragile woodwind solos, like your inner voice and vulnerability piercing through the chaos. Together, the melancholy yet beautiful atmosphere encourages reflection and freeing yourself from emotional burden. By the final movement, the symphony bursts into celebration: not because the struggle is gone, but because you’ve overcome it.

2. Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5: Celebration (Protest)

When Shostakovich composed his fifth symphony, artists in the Soviet Union were expected to create music that sounded optimistic and heroic, celebrating the Stalinist regime. Deviating was dangerous. So he didn’t … but hid a message of protest.

From the first thundering note, tension and unease are rife in the atmosphere. By the final movement, the symphony sounds triumphant, the perfect tribute for the government. But listen … the trumpet’s fanfare is a little too rigid and mechanical; the strings are more aggressive than usual. Even the bright woodwinds sound shrill bordering on strained. Is it really a celebration, or is it highlighting oppression? After the haunting third movement, the ending feels more like clenching one’s teeth, revealing Shostakovich’s hidden rebellion against the government.

3. Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique: Relationships …

You’re not the only one with relationship struggles; Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique focuses on an artist consumed by love, driven mad to death by obsession with his lover. Berlioz himself suffered from mental health issues (clearly), but his symphony is a masterpiece. With a dreamy, once-upon-a-time-esque opening, the listener is transported to a waltz in the second movement, where the narrator locks eyes with a beautiful woman across the room. Love at first sight. Yet from there, the story spirals. In the very last movement, Hexensabbat translating to “Witches’ Sabbath,” the narrator imagines his own funeral. The E flat clarinet leads the way as a sharp, mocking cackle of a witch, turning a beautiful, star-struck love into something grotesque. The symphony is wild, theatrical, and utterly dramatic; it’s a passionate whirlwind much like the sensation of falling in love. And maybe that’s what it feels like to fall in love with classical music.

We value human story so highly because it’s a form of connection and a way to make sense of a chaotic world. In Tchaikovsky, you might hear your struggles: overwhelmed from pressure, completely alone and vulnerable. You’re not alone. In Shostakovich, pulling yourself together, smiling through the pain. Embrace love and chaos in Symphonie Fantastique.

That’s why these symphonies still matter in the big 2026. They aren’t relics of the past, but the timeless soundtrack of human experience.

Damsels in distress? Not here. Roshni Aruna Gupta, 17, recommends “Ocean’s 8” and two other works where female antiheroes “command the plan.”Credit...Barry Wetcher/Warner Bros.

The vault that cracks with 0.03 seconds to spare. The blatantly obvious disguises crafted to fool us (they don’t). If you’re a crime fiction fanatic, you’ve seen these plot twists coming from miles away.

But the worst offender? A perfectly orchestrated crisis situation, when the masterfully concocted plan inevitably flies off the rails. We’re SO familiar with the leading woman turning toward her male antihero with wide-eyes and visibly trembling panic — “What do we do now?,” predictably designed to prove his superior criminal dominance to us. If this stereotype was any more outdated, it would come embedded in a VHS cassette.

Have we all been privy to this? 100 percent. Do I subscribe to it? No. Here are three characters who have redefined female antiheroes into powerful, ingenious women that command the plan rather than being its damsel in distress.

Debbie Ocean (“Ocean’s 8”)

Remember Danny Ocean pulling off three mind-boggling Las Vegas casino robberies in 2001? Meet his younger sister Debbie — more calculated, strategic and in a committed long-term relationship with grand larceny. Fresh out of prison, her first introduction is thieving designer couture with the ease of scheduling her next dentist appointment. THE CONFIDENCE. Her blueprint? Not her brother’s sidekick. Rather, masterminding a heist photographed on the most fashion-forward red carpet — the Met Gala. Playing puppet-master, she snatches a $150 million Cartier necklace from right under our noses, all in stilettos, a sparkly-embroidered gown and a side dish of handcuffs served cold to her ex-boyfriend. You may think you’ve left her in the dust … but she’s so far ahead, her master plans are criminally invisible. If you can still visualize a jewelry heist without Ocean’s all-female Toussaint-thieving team, then you’re clearly still trapped in the Met’s bathroom stall (IYKYK).

Harley Quinn (DC Comics)

Harley is Debbie’s polar opposite — mayhem personified with a swinging baseball bat, toeing the line between insane and even more insane. Entering the criminal underworld as the Joker’s punchline, her identity was devoted cries of “Mistah J!” A switch-up later, she breaks up with him. The next divorce: with her worshiping “ditzy” characterization. Her new center of gravity is a performative persona that hides a lethally instinctive intelligence we didn’t uncover soon enough. Don’t get me wrong, Harley is every bit emotionally unstable as the stereotypical female sidekick (heavily sprinkled with madness of course). The divergence? She commands her psychiatric genius, forming powerful alliances and choreographing DC’s most thrilling jailbreaks that live rent-free in our heads. If you dig up old Halloween memories, I’m sure you’ll come across parades of blue and red-dyed pigtails — a nod to her proving that emotionally unstable and wildly chaotic can exist in the same “squad” as nefariously independent and maniacally powerful.

Inej Ghafa (“Six of Crows”)

Assassin Inej Ghafa wields her knives to slash through female antihero stereotypes with the same precision as she does her enemies. A sidekick? Perhaps. A frazzled hindrance? NEVER. She may not sketch the map — we’ll leave that to her ally Kaz Brekker — but she’s the blade that silently pirouettes as Death. Without her? The duology would’ve been half a chapter of a criminal master plan … zero execution. Striking down conventions of being the male lead’s shadow with deadly intention, Inej operates according to her OWN moral code, accessorized with blades carrying the names of her Saints — all grounded in the Suli faith. “I will have you without armor, Kaz Brekker, or I will not have you at all,” she grounds, refusing to dismantle her principles to fit his comfort. If you weren’t squealing and kicking at 3 a.m. as she embodies the queen, not the pawn, then you’ve sorely missed out!

By Finn Soglia, 16, Dover-Sherborn High School, Sherborn, Mass.

According to Finn Soglia, 16, “All Quiet on the Western Front" is one of several contemporary films that provide “necessary” and “relevant” perspectives on the nature of warfare.Credit...Reiner Bajo/Netflix

If you’re someone who enjoys historical cinema (as I do), you may find most war films to be purely exploitative or completely inaccurate. Luckily, whether to show the indiscriminateness of war’s brutality, demonstrate the horrid humanity of those who commit our world’s worst atrocities, or inadvertently expose the ideological undertones of war cinema, these three films provide necessary and contemporarily relevant perspectives on the nature of warfare.

“All Quiet on the Western Front” (2022)

No literary work portrays war’s horrors quite like “All Quiet on the Western Front,” and its 2022 film adaptation does Erich Maria Remarque’s novel the justice it deserves. Both versions follow a fictional young soldier’s slow unraveling as he faces World War I trench warfare, but the exceptional thing about them is that the soldier himself is German. Remarque’s fictionalized account of his own experiences as a German soldier reflects a startling truth — not only the virtuous side of war suffers the brutality of it. Among the fleets of ideologically-driven fanatics on the front lines are the young, traumatized and disillusioned, much like Remarque’s 17-year-old protagonist. “All Quiet on the Western Front” thus serves as more than just a testimony to the horrors of combat, but the dialectical nature of war itself as something that can destroy one’s very soul — regardless of which side they fight for.

“The Zone of Interest” (2023)

Detailing the personal and family life of Kommandant Rudolf Höss of the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II, “The Zone of Interest” is a striking show of complicity, serving to demystify the Holocaust by portraying the Nazis against an eerily domestic backdrop. In a world where perpetrators of war appear as almost mystical figures, films like “The Zone of Interest” show us the jarring mundanity and domesticity of their daily lives. We never imagine Nazis tying their shoes or dictators taking a walk outside their compounds, since many find it terrifying to think an everyday human with shoelaces and morning walks could be a willing participant in atrocities. However, history lends us to accept horrifying facts for the sake of gaining a greater understanding of reality. The mere notion of power and security, a fervent promise that there’s some way to ‘save’ your dear nation or ideology via annihilation of its opposition, can cause an ordinary citizen like you or I to take up arms against the innocent. In the words of Voltaire, “Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”

“Zero Dark Thirty” (2012)

While more contemporary than the first two films, this thriller-drama centers on a fictional female C.I.A. analyst and her agency’s decade-long hunt for Osama bin Laden after the tragedy of 9/11. Frankly, I don’t cherish this film as much as I do “The Zone of Interest” and “All Quiet on the Western Front.” The film almost glorifies the torture carried out by the United States during the hunt for bin Laden, downplays the involvement of the Obama administration, and also inaccurately portrays Middle-Eastern culture. For those reasons, “Zero Dark Thirty” isn’t making the list due to the film’s quality itself, but rather the implications of its flaws. In the United States and other Western nations, we generally consider the War on Terror a war of retribution, often deliberately portraying the grave mistakes we made under the guise of “This was necessary — they deserved it.” This ideology lends us to portray the most heinous acts of war as “necessary” for victory, making “Zero Dark Thirty” a necessary watch for any American or other willing to see firsthand the ideological charge in war cinema.

By Samuel Munks, 18, Ida B. Wells High School, Portland, Ore.

Samuel Munks, 18, writes that Andy Weir’s “Project Hail Mary” “is the perfect introduction to science fiction for beginners.”

Reading: You probably either hate it or love it. And if you love it, you probably have friends who hate it. In an age of short form media, reading can seem difficult to get into, and the attention span required can seem almost intimidating. But the right book can change everything, and these three are so immersive and compelling that even your friends who have sworn off reading won’t be able to put them down.

“Red Rising” by Pierce Brown

If you have that one friend who thinks books are slow, boring, or just “not their thing,” “Red Rising” is the safest bet you can give them. It’s a fast pick up due to its easily digestible writing, immediately engaging story, and fast-paced action that never lets you breathe. Set on Mars, it follows Darrow, a slave living on the underbelly of society who finds out his entire life he has been fed a lie — and that he’s been manipulated into supporting the system that keeps him enslaved. From there, it’s a roller coaster of action and emotion that never slows.

What is so great about “Red Rising" is its sheer entertainment factor. It’s like a constant dopamine shot: constant high octane action, sharp plot twists and betrayals, all set around a brutal competition where the strongest rule. You’ll find you keep telling yourself “just one more chapter” until it’s 3 a.m. and you have to be up in four hours. With battles ranging from sword fights where steel gets cut like paper to kilometer-long destroyers duking it out in orbit above Mercury, and a protagonist who is impossible not to love, it’s pure and raw fun. But a word of caution, this series doesn’t just make readers, it starts addictions.

“Project Hail Mary” by Andy Weir

“Project Hail Mary” is the perfect introduction to science fiction for beginners because it will never overwhelm you. It remains short, witty, and fascinating, all while blending with hard sci-fi. You wake up as a scientist with no memory aboard a ship, the rest of your crew dead, and a mission you can’t quite remember. This novel will pique your curiosity like no other.

Where “Project Hail Mary” really shines though is its narrative structure and immensely satisfying mystery. You start with nothing, but through gradual flashbacks you slowly piece together what went wrong, why you’re there, and what’s really at stake. It’s the kind of story that makes you feel smart just for reading it, and watching the puzzle come together is incredibly rewarding. And when it at last clicks, it all comes together perfectly.

“Hyperion” by Dan Simmons

Reading “Hyperion" as a beginner is most akin to being thrown into the pool as a baby. At first there’s panic and confusion — but if you learn to flow with it, you find that swimming becomes easy and very enjoyable. This book sits on the edge of science fiction and fantasy, filled with abstract worlds and ancient technology. It has the gentle touch and mysticism of a blue whale mixed with the ingenuity of humanity. It can feel overwhelming and it doesn’t give the courtesy of explaining itself to you.

But that’s exactly what sets “Hyperion” apart. It’s wildly imaginative and insane. Seven travelers journeying across the alien planet Hyperion on a pilgrimage, each telling their own tale along the way — each being stranger than the last. After finishing “Hyperion” you will either be craving more, or be shell shocked, swearing off science fiction forever. It’s a sink or swim type of book, but if you find it resonates, nothing else will ever quite compare.

By Charlotte Cornman, 17, Richard Montgomery High School, Rockville, Md.

Charlotte Cornman, 17, writes that The Chicks’ cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” will make a country music lover out of you.

Honky-tonk rhythms with lyrics about beer, trucks, and women really don’t appeal to everyone, including myself. In the past, you would’ve had to pry pop music out of my cold, dead hands if you wanted me to listen to any country. I thought all songs in the genre sounded the same; that they were slow and not particularly catchy. After some exposure therapy, I found out that I was just wearing the wrong-sized boots. If you are anti-country music, listen to these songs (in order), and you will find yourself intrigued by the twangy guitars and swoony croons of country.

“Landslide” by The Chicks

This cover of the 1975 Fleetwood Mac song adds a bluegrass twist, with a banjo and mandolin accompanying the guitar. The song’s heartachingly nostalgic lyrics transcend genres, giving the listener a dip into the world of country without diving all the way in, a poignant remake of a classic. Lead singer Natalie Louise Maines’ vocal breaks hold a hint of southern twang, but not enough to deter the most skeptical of country critics.

Listen to this song if: You think country music songs can’t hold a candle to the classics.

“Charleston Girl (Live)” by Tyler Childers

Tyler Childers’ raspy yet steady voice frames this Appalachian folk song, introduced by a jumpy banjo, backed by a fiddle, and bolstered by a harmony between the accompaniment singers. Childers’ personal anecdotes in this song tell a story, making it raw and real, with lyrics such as “Don’t know why but every time I cross that river / Lord, there’s somethin’ tears me up, makes me wild.”

Listen to this song if: You think all country music sounds the same.

“Starting Over” by Chris Stapleton

As one of the most well-known country artists, some might be deterred by Chris Stapleton’s fame, out of the notion that his songs are overplayed. The lyrics are what really set this song apart from others. With sweet, endearing lyrics like “I can be your lucky penny, you can be my four-leaf clover,” Stapleton shows the value of simple, straightforward love and partnership. This is emphasized by simple guitar chords and a catchy, repetitive (but not exhausted) chorus throughout the song.

“Heartache Medication” by Jon Pardi

Once you are more acclimated to the country music drawl, this song provides an excellent example of more “traditional” country — a strong beat and deep, twangy vocals. This song will hook you in with its chorus, which will get stuck in your head for days, whether you like it or not. With backing vocals, three kinds of guitar, and a fiddle, this song has the works: country, tried and true, but still catchy and fun to listen to.

Listen to this song if: You think country music isn’t catchy.
