There are many farewells as my tenure at University of South Florida St. Petersburg concludes.
Many things that I will no longer return to as I plan to move to New Haven, Conn. in the fall to attend Yale School of Art Graphic Design MFA program. All goodbyes come with difficulty and The Crow’s Nest is one of the hard ones.
I have had the absolute pleasure in rediscovering how a team operates; how each member of this staff, still here or not, has been crucial in the development and creation of this newspaper that I can look at with pride. A pride that comes from knowing of the unwavering passion that a team I can call my own carries daily, weekly.
Aside from this, I am always ecstatic for office time in which I am graced with the wit, personality and the outrageous humor of the staff. The laughter that we are able to collectively procure is wild and largely speaks to the comfortableness and camaraderie that has been formed and solidified. All socially distanced of course.
As I leave, I’ll leave these parting words. Reporting news is so essential to our society. Awareness can be everything. But never forget that you are all humans and that the friendship and ties you can form are also just as essential.
Goodbye!
