What Christmas Is Like For A Seven Year Old
Maia Rogers

I know what Christmas means to most of us today, and everyone celebrates Christmas in different ways. Christmas is usually a child's favorite holiday, and they count down the days until Santa arrives. They open advents made of chocolate that count down the days until the 25th of December. Some kids celebrate Hanukkah or Kwanzaa, but the month of December brings happiness and fun for people of all ages. I decided to interview my little sister, Heaven, on what Christmas means to her and other questions relating to the holiday. Here are her responses.


Q: What is Christmas?

A: "A holiday about people who spend time with each other. It's when people get a lot of presents."

Q: What does Santa look like?

A: "His suit is red, he has a belt, and boots. He's nice and has a white beard."

Q: What's your favorite part of Christmas?

A: "Opening presents with my family and having people over."

Q: What's your favorite Christmas memory?

A: "Having mommy over and opening Tauna's gift. I also liked having fun with everyone"

Q: Do you hope it snows on Christmas?

A: "Yes." (Duh)

Q: Favorite Christmas Movie?

A: "Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer and Olive the Other Reindeer."

Q: What is your favorite Christmas song?

A: "My Only Christmas Wish by Pentatonix"

Q: What don't you like about Christmas?

A: "Nothing."

Q: What presents did you ask for?

A: "Hatchimals and Shopkins: Girls."

Q: Did you help make anyone's Christmas better this year?

A: "I told my friend Mariah that she doesn't need to be sad on Christmas when she doesn't get what she wants. She normally doesn't."

Q: What would you change about the holiday?

A: "It should be celebrated in January because that is when my birthday is."

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
