I do like shopping.” She states she tries to spend time with family, sometimes she and her family will go see a movie and then eat ridiculous amounts of food.

Followed by what he plans on doing over the thanksgiving break. “I plan on going to the weight room, eating that turkey, getting bigger, and growing closer to God.”

Michael McInnis, the freshman representative, says, “Just a typical turkey, ham, and cranberry sauce, all that stuff but I haven't had a good Thanksgiving meal in a while. Also talking about a tradition he takes part in. “I usually write note cards noting what I'm thankful for, then I pass it on to my family and friends so I'm working on those for this year” Activities he takes part in, “I'm eat a lot and i would watch a movie I'm not really a video game person but board games are fine” Lastly talking about his thank giving plans “i don't have any plans as of right now but I'm thinking about hanging out with family”
