THE 5: Ashton Grothe

Isabelle Gauthier, Features Editor • October 6, 2025

Q: Do you have a favorite memory associated with fall?

A: Yeah, I do. I really liked going to Six Flags for Fright Fest.

Q: Short cut off temperature? Why?

A: I feel like 50 because it’s chilly. I’m just more of a pants guy.

Q: What is your favorite type of candy? Why?

A: My favorite candy is Sour Patch kids, the watermelon ones though. I have just always loved them.

Q: Love or hate: Halloween? Why?

A: I love it. It’s kinda just Spooky Season, you know. I don’t really like dressing up, I just like hanging out.

Q:What is your go-to fall drink?

A: My favorite fall drink is definitely a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks.
