Please tell me what you are doing for Hanukkah, Siri!

Siri Lacks Clever Responses For The Holidays
Freddy Reyes

During my free time, when I was in high school, I would annoy Siri (and my family members) by asking Siri random questions. Ever since I started college, I haven't had any time to fool around with Siri. At the start of my Winter Break, I started fooling around with Siri again, and I discovered something that made me feel hurt; Siri does not have responses for Hanukkah-related questions, but she has oodles of responses for Christmas-related ones. As a Jew, one who before making friends in college, considered Siri as her best friend, I am disappointed in Siri and Apple for not incorporating as many responses for people who do not celebrate Christmas; I do not primarily mean the people who celebrate Hanukkah, but the people who celebrate Kwanza, and other the holidays during this special season as well.

Here are Siri's two responses when you wish her a happy Hanukkah:


Here are Siri's responses when you wish her a Merry Christmas and a Merry Christmas Eve:


Siri responses for when you give her good wishes for both of those two holidays are equally nice, however, her responses to when you ask her what she is doing for both holidays, reveals how she is more privy to Christmas than to Hanukkah.

Here is her only response to when you ask Siri what her plans are for Christmas:





Here are Siri's responses when you ask her what she is buying you for Christmas:


However, when you ask Siri what she is doing for Hanukkah or what she is buying you for Hanukkah, she does not give Hanukkah-related answers. I hope as Siri continues to improve, Apple will program her with a greater variety of responses for other holidays, instead of just ones for Christmas. It would be fun to ask Siri what her plans are for Hanukkah and Kwanza, next holiday season, and actually get a clever response from her.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
