Dear reader,

I listen to Solar Power by Lorde. I start a new board on Pinterest titled “Summer 2025”. I swap my boots for sandals and reach for skirts over jeans. I opt for iced lattes over hot ones. My backpack gets lighter and lighter everyday. My finger gently hovers over the delete button for Omnivox. Indeed, it is that time of the year!  I’m shocked by how fast 15 weeks go by. The sun is beaming and I’m itching to sit at the park with my friends but, alas, final projects are calling my name, though I’m not so sure which voice is the loudest. My time as Editor-in-Chief has come to an end and I can confidently say it’s been one of the best experiences of my life. I’ve had the chance to work with some of the brightest, most passionate, intelligent, kind, and fun people I’ve ever met. I’d name them all but that’s what the masthead is for. They’ve changed me and my life for the better and I’m so grateful for my friendships that have blossomed from my time at The Plant. Now, enough about me. I wish you all a wonderful summer break!!!

Love, 

Winie
