Dear Readers,
1/3 of the editors in chief here and 1/2 of the founding team. I wanted to take a moment to express how much this paper and you all reading it has meant to me. I seem to be graduating this semester (also known as right now.) so, I thought I’d take the chance to share my gratitude.
I want so badly to be silly for you all, but I had a bad dream last night and I also really hurt my foot this week. So instead, I’d like to say the sincerest of thank yous to everyone. This paper was a way to satirize our campus, bring silliness and allow for a moment of escape, but it became so much more.
I hope the Kumquat continues, but more than that I hope that everyone that has ever read it has moments of silly joy for the rest of their lives. Life is hard and things may seem scary, but I know we will all find ourselves in the end. Remember, there is always room to critique power and there is always room to laugh. Thank you everyone for allowing me to laugh even in the poopy moments.
Wish you the best and go panthers, I guess. Be smart, be funny, and be well.
Okay...absolutely wrote a sweet sincere little letter!!!!
As always
Xoxo,
A now graduated Editor in Chief
