Senior Spotlight: Collin Olsen Day<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Collin Olsen Day is a Community school senior who is likely most known for his goofy persona and sort of nerdy attitude. He enjoys playing Magic: The Gathering<\/em> and other such games in his freetime, along with reading, enjoying television, and hanging out with his friends Alex Lindstrom, Isaiah Wells, and Misael Triplett. Our interview was conducted in Derek\u2019s room in the Comm School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His favourite subjects are \u201cdefinitely either history or english because James Eastman [is a] great teacher, Jim Jennings [is an] amazing teacher, and Derek\u2019s lectures in history are just the best.\u201d Derek was standing a few feet away during this interview and was notably smiling whilst we had this conversation. His least favourite class was his freshman year World Today class \u201cbecause we crammed so much into that half semester.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \tHis biggest challenge in high school thus far was stress. He elaborated by saying, \u201cI stress out a lot and it\u2019s been\u2026 mentally damaging. I have like PTSD from freshman year Math and Biology.\u201d So far in his life his biggest challenge has been \u201clearning how not to be a dumbass\u2026 just learning how to function in society, how to keep track of time, how to read a room, basic life skills. Adulting is hard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \tCollin\u2019s definition of a good teacher is \u201ca healthy mix of two parts Dale Leaster, two parts Derek, one part Jim, and point zero five parts Tyler Grinberg\u2026 maybe a little bit of Pam Duncan thrown in for good measure.\u201d Along with this, his advice to younger classmen is to moderate your slacking: \u201cYou gotta just balance your slacking perfectly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \tWhen I prompted him the question of what school has taught him thus far in his life, he said, \u201ceven if you can\u2019t get something completely done, at least try, don\u2019t stress out about things too much, [and] make sure you\u2019re very careful about who you\u2019re friends with.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently Collin attends the Community School as stated before. He chose this school because of his long history with it. \u201cMy dad taught here when I was really little.\u201d At this point Derek chipped in with a neat little factoid about how Collin\u2019s handprint is just outside. \u201cIt was kind of where I grew up, and I also felt that it was the kind of environment I wanted to learn in, like it was relaxed but still full of people who wanted to see me succeed.\u201d For the future, Collin hopes to attend Sonoma or Humboldt State due to how lovely the campuses seem, the good programs, and how they would be nice places to live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To conclude our interview, I gave him the same two questions I gave Sophie Barrett and Nathaniel Woodrow Wildcat Mills. It took him a few minutes of thinking to reach a conclusion for the number of pennies that would fit in Derek\u2019s room, but he eventually came to the confident conclusion: \u201csix million.\u201d When I prompted him with the situation of a penguin entering into Derek\u2019s room wearing a sombrero and speaking, he replied, \u201cHe (the penguin) says, \u2018Guys I came back!\u2019 and it\u2019s Hudson (a former student we all miss), and he decided Fort Bragg wasn\u2019t good to begin with.\u201d Senior Spotlight: Collin Olsen Day Collin Olsen Day is a Community school senior who is likely most known for his goofy persona and sort of nerdy attitude.
