“Christmas came early this season for some Law students, while others found their stockings filled with coal. It was a tale of two leaked exams, with a fairytale ending for second year students and a nightmare for third years.”

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FEATURED STORY
Blackbirds, together we have come to the end of another extraordinary semester and reached the climax of another unique Christmas season. The last year has seen us adapt to the new normal. Despite our disappointment that we could not mingle together in person the Cave Hill way, you remained positive, you rose to every challenge, you did your very best, and for that, you should applaud yourself! This semester has not been easy, but we were built to overcome the odds each and every time. Certainly, the saying "All things are difficult before they are easy" has proven true for us all. But hard times don't last forever...to all our students, look how far we've come! Of course, the road has been rough. We've endured trials unique to our generation. Closed borders have separated students from their families. A deadly pandemic has stolen loved ones from our arms. Social distancing has forced us apart when we most need each other. We know that even now, many of our students are still struggling over the holidays. Whenever you feel down, remember that this year has not
only shown us tragedy. It has been a testament to the strength of our resilience. Just as Barbados cast off the shackles of colonialism amid the horrors of this pandemic, we will emerge standing stronger even during our darkest hours. No matter what kind of year you had, no matter what anxieties continue to plague you, one truth remains. You have survived. You have made it to the end of the year, a true accomplishment in these times. And from here on out, you must continue to show that resilient spirit. Survive again and again, day
by day, until we all learn to flourish and thrive in our new environment. But now is your time to relax and recuperate, because believe me, you have earned it! Enjoy self-care, fun, happiness, peace, and togetherness with your loved ones. Savor each beautiful moment and give thanks for all the beauty that still shines around us. On that note, we would like to wish you, our spectacular students, Happy Holidays, and a prosperous New year! May you and your loved ones enjoy success and good health for the New Year!
