Dear Santa: From a loyal vegan
Alisa Aistrup, Feature Editor
January 7, 2019
Dear Santa, I was initiated to the cult of veganism on March 3rd of this year, and it was the greatest decision I’ve made in my entire life. I was reborn on that very day, baptized into a greener, healthier realm; I became a new and improved version of myself. All I ask for this holiday season is for e...
Dear Santa: Halt time for me
Sydney Jasper, Staff Writer
January 7, 2019
Dear Santa, This year I have a peculiar request. Every year everything spins so fast I don’t feel like I get time to enjoy just being. My request is for time to slow down. I want you to take the reins and slow time down for a little while. Everyone is always spinning inside their own world worried...
Dear Santa: We were on a BREAK
Jasmine Castillo, Opinion Editor
January 7, 2019
Dear Santa, Santa this holiday all I want is a break from the chaos. I want a break from the suffering. A break from mothers and fathers and sister and brothers crying with pure agony because of the loss this cruel world provides them with. I am tired of animals being used for their extravagant parts...
Dear Santa: I can’t smell
Amara Del Prato, Entertainment Editor
January 7, 2019
Dear Santa, It’s been a few months since I found out that I cannot smell — and that it wasn’t just because I wasn’t “concentrating hard enough” as I had so brilliantly believed before. For 15 years, I pushed my smell problems to the back of my mind, because I didn’t think it was important....
Dear Santa: We live in a society
Dylan Eguiluz, Staff Writer
January 7, 2019
Dear Santa, This year all I want is for Christmas is to return to the good old days. Throw me back in time, back to the “dark ages” where all I had to worry about was the Bubonic plague and famine. I am aware this seems like a joke but it would be great to escape the claustrophobia of the information...
Dear Santa: Bring the rise of Socialism in America
Devyn Inong, Graphics Editor
January 7, 2019
December 4, 2018 Dear Santa, It’s December now. The majority of my friends are stressing out about finals, all my family members are worrying about buying gifts, and it seems that the entirety of humanity is focused on spreading the holiday spirit. The oncoming holiday daze also means that Christmas...
Dear Santa: Sad boy hours
Bailey Kirkeby, Managing Editor
January 7, 2019
Dear Santa, As you may have noticed, my name has not appeared in your stack of letters for many years — but I am back with one final request. This year, when I am awoken by my grandparents’ dog on Christmas morning and enter their jubilant living room, I do not want to see a gift for me under...
Dear Santa: Please take away Kanye West
Jasmin Prasad, Staff Writer
January 7, 2019
Dear Santa, Please take away Kanye West. In 2009, Kanye stunned Americans as he interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech, all to claim that Beyonce had a superior video. In 2011, Kanye declared himself “Yeezus”. In 2013, Kanye wore a Confederate battle flag patch on his sleeve. In 2015,...
Dear Santa: My family uses Liberty Mutual
Lilly Lim, Managing Editor
January 7, 2019
Dear Santa, I’m going to be honest Santa; over the past five months, I have grown and changed into someone that I never thought I could be. I am proud of who I have become, but there’s only one thing in my life that I am lacking: a driver’s license. Two summers ago, I began to work on my...

When I was 9 years old, I asked for a guinea pig, and I got one (to my dismay my sisters named him Twinkle Skywalker). When I was 11 years old, my Hunger Games obsessed self asked for a bow and arrow, and I got one. When I was 14 years old, I asked for a typewriter, and, surprise, I got one. Throughout...
Dear Santa
Gabriella Backus, Student
December 19, 2017
Give me some damn money this Christmas. You heard me. Give me some damn money! I have come to the cynical conclusion that the world revolves around money, so give me some money. Give me some damn money so I can pay off my parent’s bills. Give me some damn money so I can give everyone wh...
Dear Santa
Gabriella Backus, Student
December 19, 2017
Hi there. It’s me again, Santa, it’s Gabriella—you hear from me every year. And every year, I ask for something materialistic. Something you can buy at a store, something you pay for, something your elves can make. But really, I don’t think my life is drastically improved by a new phone, ...
