Letter from the Editor

Another semester, another edition of TGL! Welcome back everyone to our Spring 2023 issue of The Good Life Magazine. This edition’s letter is especially difficult for me to write as I sit in my college apartment looking at the date of graduation circled on my calendar, quickly approaching. Unlike other letters I have written in the past, I want to use this space to take a few moments and reflect back on my time as Editor in Chief, what has been accomplished, and the people who I need to acknowledge.

In my time as a Staff Writer, Assistant Editor, and EIC of The Good Life, I have learned so much not only about myself, but about what it takes to be a good leader and editor. In the past two years this magazine, and everyone who has worked on it, has created a safe space for me to learn and to grow, and for that I will be eternally grateful. Throughout my time here, TGL has continued to thrive and to be an optimistic light for readers to turn to on dark days. As a staff, our 2022 Spring Edition won an SPJ Excellence Award for Best Student Magazine, and I hope that as time goes on this magazine continues to be recognized for what a special publication it is. Thank you to everyone who has made my time as Editor in Chief so meaningful. I wish the best of luck to next year’s EIC, Emily, and I hope that her journey is just as rewarding as mine was.

Graduating is tough, don’t let anyone tell you differently. As I turn the page to a new chapter in my life, I will always remember with love working on our silly, colorful, and mighty little magazine.

All the best, and as always, see you soon.

Gracie Carrigan Editor-In-Chief
