Being the only kid to dress up on holidays

Being the only kid to dress up on holidays

The holidays are a special time of year when you can stop being stressed and celebrate, or at least have an excuse to celebrate.

Of course, each holiday has a unique theme and meaning behind it, which encompasses certain colors that resemble that day.

What makes a holiday fun is people showing their spirit, if they even have any. Surprisingly, there are some Debbie Downers that don’t seem to care one bit about the holidays and wearing the appropriate colors.

It’s one thing if you’re not Irish and don’t feel like wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day, that is completely understandable. But if it’s an international holiday or a non-religious holiday, that’s different.

For example, it would be completely silly for a news anchor on national television to not wear something pink or red when they know it’s Valentines Day.

As someone who is really into fashion, I tend to be the one to ask one of my friends, “why are you not wearing such a color?” Their usual response is that they forgot because they were so busy that they didn’t have time to plan out their outfit or they just “forgot”.

So if you’re not checking the calendar, you will miss out on the holidays. In that case, write it on a sticky note and put it on the refrigerator so that if you forgot or “forgot” today’s holiday, you will at least have a couple of weeks or month in advanced for the next one.

Kelsey Shockey
Kelsey Shockey, Web Sports Editor
Though she may flaunt skirts and cardigans in every hue of pink, Kelsey Shockey’s ’14 girly presence is not to be misconstrued. The Staples Senior’s true passion is sports. Since the age of five, Shockey has devoted herself to playing tennis year round. Currently a member of the girls’ varsity team, Shockey hopes to pursue the sport in college. “I love tennis because it is like performing on a stage and the spotlight is on you,” Shockey said. However, Shockey isn’t just getting attention on the courts. Since her freshman year, she has been involved in the Staples Television Network (STN), providing coverage for sports events. “I was never a great speaker in middle school or elementary school because I was so shy. But now I’ve come out of my shell,” Shockey said. “STN changed everything.” Dreaming of one day gracing national television, she hopes to study communications with an emphasis on broadcast journalism. Combining her love for sports and communications, it’s no wonder that Shockey is a perfect fit as one of Inkling’s Web Sports Editors. Full of exuberance and enthusiasm, she loves that she can “connect with people” through her writing. Shockey’s proudest work is “Explosion at Boston Marathon,” the first breaking news story she has ever written for Inklings. With a strong work ethic as well as a flare for sports and broadcasting, Shockey is sure to be a valuable addition to this year’s Inklings staff.
