campus really come alive.
It’s crazy how the pandemic felt so long and now
that we are closer to normal life, these last months in the

semester have gone by so fast. The last two issues from this semester were so fun to work on and we appreciate everyone that’s grabbed a copy! I hope you enjoy going through everything as much as I do.
This month’s theme is focused on consumerism and
the holidays. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or anything else this month, it is a time surrounded by lots of joy. It is also a time filled with spending a lot more money. Our writers for this month have shared some ideas and opinions on how consumerism has taken over the holidays. Hopefully some articles in here can help you with any gift ideas; I know I have seen a few I want to try.
If there’s anyone who has ideas for next semester and wants to volunteer, please contact us! It’s going to be a while till you see us on campus, but we’ll be back and better than ever next semester. We’ve got amazing events and opportunities when we return. Use this time for cheesy movies, lazy days, and fun with others I hope y’all have a wonderful break
and enjoy the holidays, whatever that means for you :)
