Sea lion Shuffle
What many people have been calling a “terrifying outbreak” has made its debut in zoos all over the world as sea lions continuously grow more intelligent. Sightings have been reported of the creatures hitting spine-chilling jigs and spinning their bodies at a whopping 90 mph, striking fear in victims and causing numerous tornadoes. Countless remarks of fear from the media spark questions on what the sea lions will do next. “This has gone too far. I used to see videos of these things swimming on YouTube and I’d happily share it with my friends,” ex-sea lion superfan, Gwavert Gonseales, said. “Now, every video has me on the floor hyperventilating.” Researchers still have not disclosed a specific reason behind the behavior. Theories like the consumption of abandoned drugs from shipwrecks have covered the internet for the past few days. New data has shown that an increase in the number of sea lion tornadoes is expected within the next two weeks due to the adults teaching their pups how to spin. Authorities are still trying to find ways to prevent the uncontrollable spread and teaching of this activity. “I hate how they dance, it freaks me out. I’m losing my hair from all this stress,” Cryan Quirkos, a victim of the sea lions, said. Along with the daunting dance moves and tornadoes, many zoos have reported sea lions breaking into fish facilities looking for snacks. Some say that the animals scare the workers with their blood-curdling sounds, leaving buildings vacant and fish unattended and eaten. Recently, more sea lions have been observed to stick their tongues out to show dominance. In case of this happening, professionals advise anybody within 15 feet of the animal to get to safety and hide. “I was so scared. I had to duck and cover under a table and all of a sudden, the ground started shaking while it roared,” Gonseales said. Meteorologists have seen a significant increase in the amount of natural disasters per day due to the dangerous spinning and roars. More specifically, they believe that the weather has turned over 30% more life-threatening since the sea lions started attacking. The world has gone into shambles, worried about what mess the sea lions will make next. Whether it was from the animals spinning, dancing, or sticking their tongues out, many people have been strongly affected by this unfortunate event. People are expected to run, hide, and do whatever they can to stay away from the murderous creatures until further notice.

Callie Walker finds her passion through Volleyball
For over 125 years, volleyball has been played by both girls and boys worldwide. Volleyball became an Olympic sport in 1964 and is one of the leading sports played by high school girls. For freshman Callie Walker, her volleyball journey began recently. It all started when her middle school best friend convinced her to try out for the sport. “I started in sixth grade during the summer, and then it just kind of grew from there,” Walker said. Her curiosity and desire to find a sport she truly enjoyed led to numerous experiences in various volleyball environments. “I started out with club indoor volleyball, and when I went to middle school, I joined the indoor volleyball school team,” Walker said. “After two years, I joined beach volleyball for like, six months.” After Walker's experiences with both types of volleyball, she prefers the team dynamic of beach volleyball over indoor. “I think I like beach volleyball better, because when you work with one partner, it kind of gives you an opportunity to see how they work, and then you can build off of each other and make each other stronger as players,” Walker said. During her time playing beach volleyball, Walker had many great memories, but one in particular changed her perspective towards the sport and herself. “I remember one time my friend and I signed up for this tournament, and we didn’t realize how advanced the players were,” Walker said. “We started playing, and we were getting crushed, we lost every single game, but I think that it taught me a lesson to accept that I’m not always going to win.” After spending four years playing indoor and beach volleyball, Walker learned an important fact. She believes that volleyball is not just a sport, but a helpful tool. “I think that outside of school, I needed to have something that I could use as an outlet, because if I didn’t, I would just get really stressed,” Walker said. After realizing just how beneficial volleyball is, Walker’s journey does not stop here. She plans to advance her skills and seek new volleyball opportunities in the future. “I actually plan on joining the school beach volleyball team this spring,” Walker said. Walker may have joined the volleyball world as of recently, but it has shaped her into the person she is today. Volleyball has been a crucial part of Walker’s life, and she will continue to pursue the sport.
