My name is Kishneet Kaur, and I am an Advertising Representative here at the Highlander Newspaper! I am eternally grateful for my friends and family as they shape me into a better version of myself everyday. I am also grateful for being able to wake up everyday and spread positivity! But most of all, this year I am thankful for the Highlander Newspaper as it helped me  blossom into a mature individual and introduced me to some of the most kind, hard-working people I have ever met! 

Mata Elangovan – Editor-in-Chief: 

I’m grateful for good food, a funny sister, great colleagues and the raccoons I see late at night.

Allison Fry – Business Manager: 

I’m grateful for crispy queso tacos, really soft blankets, bean bag chairs, my large family and a really amazing collection of ride or die friends. 

Isaac Solnick – Managing Editor:

I am thankful that my mom is healthy this year. She won her battle with breast cancer! Love you Mom!

Angelica Brianna Acosta – Assistant News Editor: 

I am thankful for my little sister, Abby. Even though she is a pain in my side, she also understands all my jokes.

Rubaita Iqbal – Assistant Opinions Editor: 

I am thankful for the book, “Before the Coffee Gets Cold.” 

Sanjana Thatte – Features Editor: 

Something I am grateful for are brown butter chocolate chip cookies. They have been saving my mood recently. They have also acted as a study snack for me while I was crashing out over my midterms. Making them has been very therapeutic for me! I am also very grateful for my family and friends.

Nola Perifel – Assistant Features Editor: 

I am thankful for all my favorite sitcoms like: “The Office,” “Friends,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and so many more! I am also thankful for my brother, my parents and my boyfriend.

Terry Nguyen – Sports Editor: 

I am thankful for casinos. I am thankful for my girlfriend. I am thankful for just being able to move my body, to exercise – good health in itself is a blessing. I am thankful for Kish coming back from her trip. When I see her smile, I know it is going to be a good day. 

Edwin Basurto – Video Editor: 

I am thankful for bargain bins and thrift stores.

Paris Cao – Advertising Representative: 

I am thankful for my friends and family because they always support me and keep me happy! 

Ian Palma – Radar Editor: 

Three things I am thankful for are family, friends and the fact that I am living in the same timeline as The Dare. He’s known for wearing suits and playing EDM music, and he just exhibits aura. 

Aakif Iqbal– Assistant Radar Editor: 

I am thankful for cable knit sweaters because I love “When Harry Met Sally” and “Gilmore Girls.” Thanksgiving time is also the perfect time to wear them, although they are good year round. Suffering in the heat is worth the drip. I am also thankful for my family.
