Q: What's your major?
A: English!
Q: Name your best friends.
A: I have too many to list. I know that everyone always says that you should keep your inner circle small, but I think it is better to interact with everyone equally.
Q: Favorite thing about working at the Northern Light?
A: I absolutely love having the opportunity to get published. Being able to get paid to write is such a privilege. I also like the opportunities that it has given me for networking with other people outside of the university.
Q: I went to the Subway on campus, but they were closed 15 minutes early. How should I remedy this transgression?
A: You could talk to the manager of the Subway and see if this was a one-time occurrence or if this happens frequently.
Q: Why is it that the men's stall bathrooms in the SSB are always trashed?
A: Because people don’t value the things that they do not have to take care of themselves. The thoughts around public spaces and leaving them in a state of disarray always boils down to: “Well, it’s not my problem because this place has custodians.”
Q: This is your reminder to do your reading diaries for Madsen's class.
A: Thank you, I very much needed the reminder.
Q: The spoonful of support was low-key a slap in the face when they just offered soup and bread.
A: What would you like to see next time as an alternative to soup and bread?
Q: Are the otters on campus living in the creek?
A: I hope so. Otters are adorable and I would love to be able to see them every day.
Q: Should UAA’s fall break be an actual week instead of a long weekend?
A: This is a tricky question. While I am tempted to say yes, removing a week from the schedule could potentially cause even more stress considering that we pretty much go straight into finals after fall break.
Q: The UAA concert board should try to bring Sean Kingston to the Alaska Airlines Center while he is here in March!
A: We should reach out to them and see if this is a possibility!
Q: I need to know what happened to the condoms in the bathroom outside The Den. What is up with the lack of condoms on campus this year? Does UAA want me to get an STD?
A: UAA does not want you to get an STD. I am sure that if this was brought to the attention of Student Health, they would remedy the situation.
Q: All the hall elevators’ maintenance is expired… seems like a safety concern to me.
A: This is something that should be brought to the attention of the school. Hannah Dillon wrote a great story on the elevators last semester where she ranked each of them. It looks like we may need to write another article about them, focusing more on the maintenance aspects.
Q: What do you think about the school revoking reservations for The Den from students to accommodate non student activities? Even if it’s a double booking issue, why does it happen to always favor non student booking?
A: I am not sure. I would assume that this boils down to money. These other organizations probably pay better money than the students would. Either way, this should not be the case. The Den, and the Student Union as a whole should prioritize the students.
Q: Thoughts on the Palestinian deep state conspiracy?
A: Personally I am uneducated on the topic, so I do not think I can organize any thoughts on it.
