Happy Thanksgiving, Stuyvesant! In honor of the festivities, here are a few things that The Spectator’s Editorial Board is thankful for:
- Energetic dancers in the hallways after school, skilled in all forms of gyration.
- Teachers who play music at the start of class.
- Teachers who go on passionate tangential rants during class.
- Teachers who try to learn their students’ names.
- Teachers.
- Food, coffee, and halal carts that did NOT adjust for inflation.
- The bathrooms––specifically those on the eighth floor and above.
- A view of the Hudson and Pier 40’s cryptic gratitude.
- The custodial staff, who works hard to keep the building clean.
- Free lockers!
- Subway buddies.
- Walking buddies.
- Talking buddies.
- Hugs in the hallway.
- Going-in-for-a-handshake-but-ending-up-with-something-close-to-a-fist-bump in the hallway.
- Motivational graffiti in the bathrooms (“I believe in you!” is just what the bladder needs to hear!).
- Vending machines that actually have food in them.
- The thrill of realizing that the low-fat variations of our favorite vending machine treats are the same as the originals, in essence.
- Classes shaped like U’s with back rows for engaging discussions! And sleeping.
- Sleeping (when and where we get it).
- The librarians and the library they so dutifully take care of.
- People who don’t stare at you when you take off your mask to drink water.
- The 30-minute homework policy (in theory).
- The individuals across the building who miraculously keep the guitars in something resembling the correct tune.
- The new print station in the Student Union room.
And kind people of all ages.
