Jelly Beans and Battle Royales____________________

Jelly Beans and Battle Royales_____________________________________________________. Gaming has never been this cute.

“Fall Guys”, developed by Mediatonic and published by Devolver Digital, was released on Aug. 3 2020, and is currently available for digital purchase on Steam for PC, and on the PlayStation 4 for $19.99.

Over the summer, during the height of the coronavirus pandemic, an unconventional battle royale rose to fame, coming close to “Fortnite”. By “unconventional”, people mean something that’s unique or authentic. Think of jelly bean people, but it’s a race, a platformer, and a battle royale all at once. Welcome to the world of “Fall Guys”. This game is made perfectly for people who are interested in the battle royale scene but are new to it. The comedic and colorful nature just calls to all who see it.

Skyline launches new recurring food assistance event.
Written By: John Harrison.

Skyline College launched a free, weekly grocery distribution service Wednesday Sept. 2 for students and other members of the community in need.

The Skyline College Free Drive-Thru Community Market offers pre-boxed groceries through contactless pick-up at the Skyline Boulevard entrance to campus every Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. until the end of the year. Each car receives a 39-pound box of food worth around $60.

Through a partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank of Silicon Valley, the district was able to initiate an emergency food distribution program at College of San Mateo which currently serves 1,000 families every Friday. The success of that program led to the opening of a similar program at Skyline.

Students, faculty deplore discontinuance of free Adobe Premium Subscription amid virtual instruction .

“I think that we should be allowed to use it, seeing as how it’s pretty expensive and we have to pay for it out of our own pockets,” she commented.
Digital media professor Vera Fainshtein from the College of San Mateo explained how the free Adobe Premium subscription in the spring semester aided her students to finish her subject courses.
D Digital and multimedia arts students and faculty from the three San Mateo County Community Colleges expressed their frustrations and disapproval with Adobe Inc.’s decision to end its free premium license now that classes have fully transitioned online.

Did you know ? The Golden gate bridge was open a day like today back in 1937, it took 5 years to build up. (83 years ago)
On opening day–“Pedestrian Day”–some 200,000 bridge walkers marveled at the 4,200-foot-long suspension bridge, which spans the Golden Gate Strait at the entrance to San Francisco Bay and connects San Francisco and Marin County. The next day, on May 28, the Golden Gate Bridge opened to vehicular traffic.

It’s finally the end of the school year and one

It’s finally the end of the school year and one of the biggest concerns we have as students are our books.
When the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, and the campus closed, many students were concerned with what to do with their books at the end of the spring semester. The fear of paying a late fee or holding onto a textbook that has certainly lost its significance now that classes have ended has been looming over us.

The drop off location is near Building 4, around the Skyline College Express, and will occur on these dates:
May 21, Thursday: 12-6p.m
May 27, Wednesday: 12-6p.m
May 28, Thursday: 12-6p.m
If you feel uncomfortable going on campus or simply the dates do not align with your schedule, the Skyline College Bookstore has also provided another way, which is to mail it to them.

💓 Mother’s day was celebrated for the first time in the early 20’s by Anna Jarvis, to commemorate her own mother and since then it has become an “American tradition “ but, Jarvis herself regretted her idea since it became “too commercialized”. 🌸 Mom’s should be celebrated everyday. 🌷Tomorrow it’s mother’s day, and we want to congratulate all the mother’s out there, especially Nancy- our adviser @skylinejour. #mothersday #quarantinedmothersday2020
