As many of you may have heard, a couple months ago the stock market got flipped upside down. The well-known tech company and video game retailer, Gamestop, had one of the greatest short squeezes of all time!

GME has since gone down and had days since that have been volatile along with their CEO stepping down leading to another day of a smaller short squeeze.

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.
