Tell us about your plans for Thanksgiving.
Edward Dingle ’29: I’m going to see family — some cousins in D.C. Then maybe I’ll see some cousins in Baltimore.
Thaisa Wilder ’29: I’m staying here. Walking, going on hikes. Hopefully doing something off campus.
Javier Minuesa Sicilia ’29: Going home. I’m going to see my family because I haven’t seen them in a while. No homework luckily.
Jenna Martinez ’27: I’m going to go home. To New Jersey. Just to the entire state of New Jersey. I’m just gonna go home, rot, and come back.
Lola Diaz Gonzalez ’27: I have a few friends from Spain, and we’re all gathering at one of their houses in New York and we’re just going to spend time with the family.
Imelda Ramirez ’29: I’m going to New York with my family and I’m really excited! We’re gonna be going to the beach — to a boardwalk. We’re gonna have dinner in the city, and my boyfriend is also coming up and celebrating with us.
What is the craziest Thanksgiving drama your family has ever had?
Edward Dingle ’29: Probably just injuries from Thanksgiving football. I think one of my uncles was probably too old to be playing football and he … got hurt.
Thaisa Wilder ’29: Maybe my cousin showing up with his girlfriend without telling anyone. She walked in, but she wasn’t invited and there wasn’t a seat for her at the table and my cousin just said, “Oh she’s staying with us.” She ended up staying with us for like a week, and it was really awkward. And then they broke up.
Javier Minuesa Sicilia ’29: See, my family isn’t really American so we haven’t done Thanksgiving for a while. I guess one time when we had a family over and their son brought his girlfriend and they broke up that night. I have no idea why, I decided to stay out of it.
Jenna Martinez ’27: Our Thanksgiving drama isn’t super, like, crazy or out there. It’s usually just that one dude hates trans people and then me and the other people who are under the age of 25 are like, “you can’t say that shit.” And then they’re like, “I don’t care, back in my day, there weren’t trans people.” And then it just kinda ends.
Lola Diaz Gonzalez ’27: My parents aren’t the biggest cooks, so we always have to order from somewhere and then they never order enough. So, once we had a dinner where we had twenty people over but we only had enough food for nine.
Imelda Ramirez ’29: My family loves to gamble, and we always play this game called left center right. But one time, my two-year-old little sister won the pot and it was like 250 bucks. So she got some ice cream, and we pocketed the rest.
