Instagram vs Tik Tok

 By: Angelina Romo

The weekly poll was posted on the Buzz’s Instagram. This week’s poll was the argument over social media, TikTok vs Instagram. TikTok has recently blew up, it is now an app that nearly everyone has. The results can support that fact TikTok had the percentage of 85% leaving Instagram with 15%. 
The students we had interviews had strong opinions on both subjects. Freshmen Evin Valdez had voted for TikTok when asked why he replied with “I believe TikTok is more entertaining. I can sit and watch TikTok all day without getting bored, if I were on Instagram all I would do is scroll through everyone’s photos, that’s no entertainment.” TikTok is known to make funny videos for fun, with PCHS students being on social media at all times I’m sure they can say a thing or two about TikTok.
         We can’t forget about Instagram, Freshmen Thomas Vigil stated on this subject “TikTok is used to much, sure you get a laugh here and there but eventually it is repeating the same trends and people are just watching the same thing over and over again. At least when I’m on Instagram I have a variety to look at, TikTok just gets boring after a while.”
         Since we had so much votes on TikTok we were able to interview multiple people! Senior Kaylin Mares had voted for TikTok and when asked why she replied with “I choose TikTok because there is a lot of scenarios that I can relate to !Instagram is more of an app that I can post/see pictures that can be more of a memory or to keep on my friends and family.” As you can see TikTok overpowered Instagram at PCHS.  
Both freshmen and senior had valid opinion, what’s yours? Be sure to tune in for the next poll !@thebuzz.county

            One of the 14 votes in favor of Converse was sophomore, Myia Gallegos. Gallegoes expressed, “I like Chucks (Converse) more because they last longer. I’ve had a pair for about 5 years and they still look good as new.” Junior, Anna Saathoff, was also in favor of Converse over Vans. Saathoff stated, “I like converse more because I can wear them more placed without falling!”
            The other voters preferred rocking a pair of Vans rather than Converse. Sophomore, Mackenzie Blasing, said, “I like Vans more because they go with more things and they’re more ‘in style’ right now.” Another student who agrees with Blasing is Kaylee Chavez, junior. Chavez said, “I choose vans because I love all the different patterns and colors they come in and they always match with any outfit I have on!”

We followed up asking some of the students that voted, “What did you vote and why?” Freshman, Allissa Hancock, voted chocolate, stating, “Why would I want flowers just so they can die? At least I can eat the chocolate and be happy. What am I going to do with flowers look at them all day and just think ‘oh they’re so pretty’?”. With Hancock saying this started an argument. Freshmen, Rae Lee Gonzalez stated, “At least he thought of you enough to get you flowers, I would want someone to get me flowers. It’s the thought that counts.”

When asking one of the voters Tanner Crittenden he was straight up with his opinion. “I would prefer the 49ers because being a Broncos fan I don’t want to see the chiefs win.”  The Kansas City Chiefs on the other hand, ended up with 42% and a total of 16 people voting for them. Isabelle Hough (Junior at county) had a different approach when being asked this question. “I’m not a big fan when it comes to football, but Patrick Mahomes just hits different.”  So sit down, relax and eat some Superbowl snacks to see who will take home the title!

AirPods vs AirPod Pro

By: Angelina Romo


The Buzz’s new poll has been updated on our Instagram, the new question is “What you do you prefer the original Air Pods or the Air Pods Pro?”. A total of 40 individuals voted on this topic, these results showed that only 6 students have voted for Air Pods Pro with a total percentage of 15%. On the other hand, 34 students have voted for the original Air Pods with a percentage of 85%.  
              During this question sophomore Sienna Duran stated, “The Air Pod Pros just look weird and they are more expensive for the same quality of the regular Air Pods, it’s not something I would want to buy”. As you walk around Pueblo County Highschool you will see a handful of students that use the regular Air Pods. The Air Pod Pros are not seeming to have enough amount of interest, to draw everyone in to spend more money on some new Air Pods.   
With that being said we still had some votes for the Air Pod Pros. Freshmen Evelyn Sandoval states, “I think it’s worth the money to buy the new air pod pros, they are more comfortable, and I look richer”.

            A total of 26 PCHS students were in favor of flannels opposed to sweaters. One of those individuals was junior, Aaliyah Gallegos-Herrera. Herrera said, “Well because flannels are usually warm in the morning and you could take it off and put it around your waist when it gets hot.” Many would agree as other individuals gave relatively similar answers.
            Although flannels took the win this time, it was a close tie as 23 students preferred sweaters over flannels. Sophomore, Emerald Bryant just happened to share her ideas on her point of view as well. Bryant said, “I picked sweaters because some flannels aren’t really in fall colors. I’m personally always cold so I really like being warm and some flannels don’t keep me warm enough.”
            What do you think? Sweaters or Flannels? A tough choice for sure. Follow The Buzz’s Instagram to keep up on daily polls, school events, and more stories @thebuzz.county!
