I'm thankful for having such an amazing opportunity to work with so many awesome people through my time with The Rotunda, and I'll never forget any of the lessons I learned. It's been a wild ride for sure with ups and downs around every corner, from working till 4 a.m. on Tuesday nights, to covering the Big South Tournament for Longwood basketball. I wouldn't trade any of them in for anything else, maybe a Lamborghini, but that's close to it.
There's a few things I would've done differently, but overall, I'm truly happy with the time I spent alongside Tori (Walker) and K Bal (Kayla Baldino) putting the paper together, writing alongside Travis (Lyles) and Halle (Parker), messing around in meetings with anyone who was dumb enough to sit next to me and talking/joking around with our advisers about life more than my actual writing.
I'm truly excited to see what the future has for The Rotunda, I know it's going to be way better this coming year with Tori's amazing leadership and Halle running the sports section (which she'll definitely revolutionize and make immensely better), along with the other new editors who are going to knock it out of the park this coming year.
Overall, my final thought, as the old man senior, for all of it is a huge and grateful, THANK YOU! Without the help and support of the people on The Rotunda and our advisers (Lauren Karidis, Jeff Halliday and Michael Mergen) I would have no real knowledge or confidence in the journalism field. It's going to be hard to truly say good-bye to all of these incredible people, writing this was hard enough, now I'm going to have to do it in person. Cue the waterworks. You all will be truly missed, and I know the future is bright for you.
