Dear Readers,
As crazy as this feels to say, we’ve officially made it to the halfway point of our spring semester! These last seven weeks have flown by so quickly, and I have no doubt our remaining weeks will feel the same way. Reflecting on this job so far, I can honestly say this has been the toughest but most rewarding experience I’ve had in my life. I’ve learned so much in these last seven weeks that I would’ve never expected, and it’s been so wonderful to embark on this journey with all of you by our side.
For all of you who tune in on a regular basis, I’m sorry to share the sad news that we won’t have a new issue out next week, as all of our lovely staff here will be enjoying their spring breaks. Our next issue for you, issue eight, will be published on March 26. While this may feel like a long time away, I promise we’ll be back at the end of the month stronger than ever. Believe it or not, we’re on break for 14 of the 31 days of this month! While we are sorry to disappoint, we encourage you all to take the time you would spend reading our stories to engage in some self-care, rest, and relaxation while we do the same. The only thing that’s better than a well-rested staff would be having well-rested readers with us!
This being said, the last issue we present to you before our two-week hiatus is full of stories sure to keep you busy. We have one of our fullest news sections yet, overflowing with stories about managing the new changes at the college and important guest speakers visiting. In features, we talk about women supporting women through a period product drive on campus. In A&E, we have Jasper Jams for your hot girl walk and an overview of the Players’ most recent Black Box show, Check, Please. In Sports, we highlight women’s lacrosse and senior recognition night for our spirit squads. With all this content and two weeks to check it out, you’ll have plenty of time to catch up on all things MC.
While MC just celebrated our annual Manhatty’s Day, we hope that everyone has a safe and fun St. Patrick’s Day celebration with their families and friends next weekend. No matter how you party, The Quadrangle always encourages you, no matter what age, to drink responsibly.
As always, we also encourage you to follow us on social media for our latest updates, and to sign up for our weekly newsletter, the JasperJist, which is published every Thursday evening, sent directly to your inbox.
Until next time,
