Here Comes the News

Paige Riding
News Editor

Fellow CNC patrons! Students of College of New Caledonia! Friends! Pals!

Hi! Thank you again for reading our humble little magazine. This is our last issue of the year. With final exams
approaching, the strain students feel is at an all-time high. The race is almost done, so please try to finish strong.

| would like to take this opportunity to be cheesy. | want to thank my fellow union members for the past
three-and-a-half months. Taking on the role of the News Editor was unexpected for me; with another job and
a full-time school schedule, taking on another job seemed insane. And frankly, it was. I’m heading out of ths
semester with a respectable GPA, some money for next semester, and the most obnoxious black circles under
my eyes... ever. Writing for various humanities courses, as well as for The Confluence, proved to be straininy
yet rewarding. | could not have done this without my teammates (and my undeniable competitiveness.)

My time at CNC ends in the spring. | thought | would be excited to move to university to finish my degre»
(which | absolutely am,) but it’s also a bit saddening that | will be leaving this community behind. My professot +
this semester were as challenging as they were helpful. My classmates inspired me, annoyed me, and helpe |
me along. Like the little aliens say in Toy Story, *...1 am eternally grateful.”

| will see you all in 2019. | hope your break from school alleviates some stress, (because, guess what! We get
to do it all again next semester!). | hope the time with your family and friends charges your batteries. Pet your
animals. Sleep in if you can. Make extra money at work. Most of all, please take care this holiday season.

Happy Holidays,
