Roadrunners have much to look forward to in the weeks following midterms. Whether they passed or failed, students can enjoy Halloween, celebrate Día de los Muertos and discuss hot button topics on Bexar County’s Nov. 4 ballot.
This week, The Paisano interviewed first-year nursing major Summer Rucker, second-year film and media studies major Jaylene Rodriguez, freshman criminal justice major Benjamin Gonzalez and junior human resources and business management double major Sawyer Peevy.
How did midterms go?
Midterms went swimmingly for students this time around, as many are happy with their results.
“All A’s. Can’t Complain,” Peevy states.
“I think I did pretty good,” Rucker says. “My lowest grade was an 89, and I feel like that’s good to me.”
Gonzalez and Rodriguez feel they did well in their midterms too.
Do the Spurs need a new arena?
Proposition B on the Nov. 4 ballot looks to create a new arena for the Spurs. The ‘Runners have mixed feelings about it.
“I think the inside is fine. The outside could use a little work, but I like where they’re at,” Gonzalez admits. “It’s a good place, but it could be better.”
Rucker and Peevy give a direct “No” in response. Rodriguez does not watch the Spurs, so she is unsure.
What are your plans for Halloween?
Partying is evidently the move for ‘Runners this Halloween. Rodriguez and Rucker are going out with friends. The latter is going all the way to Austin.
“Me and my roommate are gonna go to UT Austin and party with Longhorns,” she says.
“I’m an associate member for a fraternity, so we’re holding a Pi Kapp x Fiji party. I’ll be there that weekend,” Gonzalez remarks.
Peevy is taking it easy this year and staying home with his girlfriend.
How are you celebrating Día de los Muertos?
It seems Halloween is more popular among the students than the Day of the Dead, as Rodriguez is the only one with set plans to celebrate.
“Going downtown and watching the ofrendas,” Rodriguez shares.
“I usually don’t celebrate it, but maybe something else will happen this year, so I’ll probably get together with friends and remember our ancestors,” Gonzalez says.
Rucker does not know yet, and Peevy does not celebrate the holiday.
