After Halloweekend, students are revving up for Thanksgiving and the late fall season. Freshman took the initiative to respond to questions regarding their traditions and opinions for Thanksgiving.
In response to “Do you have any strong opinions on any fall or Thanksgiving foods?
Marlys McGrane ‘28 said, “I would say I think pumpkin pie should be considered the best pie for Thanksgiving break because it’s the embodiment of Thanksgiving. And the one pie most everyone thinks of right away when looking at Thanksgiving food.”
In response to “Are there any movies you like to rewatch during this period?”
Colleen Dune ‘28 said, “Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is definitely a good rewatch during this season. I watch it with my family on Thanksgiving every year and have seen it for as long as I can remember.”
In response to “Sweet potato casserole, marshmallows or no marshmallows?”
Trinity Burleson ‘28 said, “Definitely marshmallows. Sweet potatoes are kind of bland without marshmallows or brown sugar, so sweet potato casserole must have it seasoning.”
In response to “What inspired the decision to create this special edition?”
Mikaela Gantz said ‘25, “When I decided that I wanted to be Editor-In-Chief last year and began preparing for the role, I knew that I wanted to do more unbiased coverage of major campus and country issues. I knew that the student body cared deeply about both the rally and the election, and I wanted students to hear the voices of other students and see some of their opinions represented. Unfortunately, we didn’t have as wide a variety of opinions as I would have liked. I cannot write about issues from any opinion other than my own for an opinion piece.”
In response to “What do you hope readers take away from this special edition?”
Juniper Rogers ‘26 said, “I hope that our readers take inspiration from the efforts that we and many of our fellow students take in engaging in the democratic process. Walking door-to-door, phone-banking, and even running for a local office are all things that we as young people should do if we want to see real change happen. If you want to learn more, I encourage you to read our special edition online and on paper!”
