Welcome back to school! Or if you are new this semester, welcome to our home! We are glad to have you here with us! Croft’s Comments is your local spot to make statements, let people know about events happening on campus, ask for advice, vent your problems or completely unhinged hot takes.
I will make one statement though: With our upcoming special editions, you may want to save context specific submissions for the special edition that aligns with them the most. For example, for the month of February, we will be releasing a sex edition. This will be the perfect time to submit anything that involves sex or relationships. The same goes for the Spring Break and April Fools editions.
Q: Gerad Butler in the original “Gladiator” movie. You are off by 300.
A: I noticed that. I messed up! I always get the two of them mixed up, especially regarding those two movies specifically. Your comment is hilarious though.
Q: What’s up with the weather over break? Spring then snow again?
A: I was out of state when all of the warm weather was happening. I heard it was pretty crazy, though.
Q: Hey! Residence Life Zoo Lights Jan. 31. Make sure to sign up and get your spot, it’s free.
A: Where should students go to sign up? I know I want to go!
Q: We need more raves in Anchorage. Someone get on that. They used to host them ages ago in the Kincaid Bunkers. Do you know of any?
A: There are some, but mostly in the summer. Girdwood has a really good scene for it. I plan on doing an article about the rave scene in Alaska this upcoming summer.
Q: Triple dawg dare you to submerge yourself into the creek.
A: It wouldn’t be the first time!
Q: How hype are you for the UAA vs UAF hockey game?!
A: As of writing, we just won on Saturday! What a game!
Q: Where should I not go to drink in town (and why is it Trashlight)?
A: Gaslight is pretty sketchy, but I think you should drink anywhere that you have a good time. Some people genuinely enjoy the Gaslight and there is no judgement for that. Just be safe no matter where you drink, and always make sure that you have a sober ride home!
Q: The fine arts department needs our help! It's a great program with amazing performances. We should advertise those more. It’s free for students!
A: I will make sure I am at the next performance, and I will bring some friends. The Northern Light will also look into reviewing the performances!
Q: What’s your fav part of living on campus?
A: I love being within walking distance to my friends, school, and The Blue Fox! I feel as though we are slowly building a community on campus, and I love walking around and recognizing people that I know.
Q: Tanner, I can’t stop thinking about rhododendrons. What do I do?
A: Consider switching to a botany major? Or investing in a greenhouse.
Q: Best place in town to eat?
A: This is a tough one. There are several really good restaurants, but it kind of depends on what you are in the mood for. Personally, I think my favorite restaurant is Ichiban.
Q: Who would you rather fight? A Mormon or a Jehovah’s Witness?
A: I would rather not fight at all to be completely honest.
Q: Peanut butter.
A: Jelly!
Q: Best part of winter break was…?
A: My nephew was born. So that was pretty damn cool.
Q: What two things can you never have for breakfast?
A: Beans and toast. Hands down.
Q: Wondering Tanner’s opinion on this weather? Are you ready for spring already?
A: Okay, so I understand that I am the odd one out for this, but I actually love the winter. Regardless of the recent storms and whatnot.
Q: Let’s hope they fix the awfully icy trails on campus.
A: As far as I can tell, the trails are mostly alright? Any suggestions on trails that might need more attention?
Q: What if instead of women wanting me and fish fearing me, both of them fear me?
A: Then you are probably doing something incorrectly.
Q: Do you think your dad could beat up my dad?
A: Without a doubt!
Q: Who will Jake Paul be fighting next now that Jimmy Carter passed away?
A: Someone in hospice care, I am sure.
Q: Love the new haircut tanner!! Rocking it.
A: Thank you! It was time for a change.
