ow is it November already? I feel like it was just yesterday that I was coming to school, not knowing what to expect for the semester. There were so many times that I feared we would get sent home for outbreaks of COVID-19, but here we still are.

For me, this pandemic has made me realize there is a lot that I have taken for granted and that I am thankful for. Wrestling and interacting with my friends, family and professors are just two of these many things that I do not want to take for granted any longer. While this semester is quickly coming to a close, the lives of some seniors will just be beginning. To those seniors, I would like to thank you for your readership in the past and I would also like to wish you luck in your future endeavors. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey. For those of you coming back for the spring, stay safe over the break and stay positive. We can do this together. Soak it in,
Brian Shermyer Editor-In-Chief
