ISSUE 2: Editor’s Letter

Zoe Thaxton, Co-Editor-in-Chief

It’s the most wonderful time of the year: print! Also, the holidays… and exam season, but let’s focus on the good. Break is just around the corner and hopefully that motivates you through dead week and the coming exams.

This in itself feels odd for me to be writing. Bear with me, I’ve never written one of these before. For those who don’t recognize me, I’m Zoe, co-Editor-in-Chief of the Knight Writers. I will be working with Juno to run the newspaper and we will be sharing the position. I’m so grateful to accept the position and can’t wait to see where the staff will go from here. 

It’s been a weird quarter to say the least. For myself, I’m finishing college applications and crossing my fingers I can get into dream schools. Life changing stuff in the making. I’m certain other seniors feel the same way. 

The switch from Online Managing Editor to Co-Editor-in-Chief not even halfway through the year was extremely difficult, especially in this quarter. It was a lot and I didn’t know if I was capable. I’m so thankful for the wonderful staff. You all have been wonderful, and I cannot thank you enough for the support I’ve been given. 

In general, I think there’s a weird vibe in the air, like something’s been off. Maybe it’s seasonal depression, maybe it’s something else. I don’t know what, but I do want to leave you with one final message. Remember to always lean on the people you’re close with. There are always people in your corner, rooting for you and wanting your success. Everything is always better when you’re not alone.

Happy Holidays Knights and see you next year 🙂
