next year’s staff.

I, Caitlyn Lee, will Jeremy Kim and Audrey Lin monumental editorials, overachieving staff members and lots of caffeine. Jeremy, I admit that I was the chief culprit who “accessorized” your board (Your idea was good in theory, but the execution pained me).

And to everyone else on staff, you are all wonderful people who I am happy to call my 2nd family — I wish I could share even a fraction of the amazing experience I had in newspaper. So much love for H52. I’ll miss you all!

I, Keila Bara, will Jeremy and Audrey smooth-running pasteups and the proper amount of sleep each night.

You will both kill it as EICs, and I cannot wait to see all you accomplish next year. To Nomi, I will you an organized year without too much stress. You truly are superhuman juggling all you do, and you never fail to impress me. To Caitlyn, my lovely co-EIC and partner in crime this year, I will you more concert tickets, all the creativity in the world for your writing and the most incredible experience at UCSB. Spending the past four years on staff with you has been incredible, and I am so grateful to have had you by my side as we navigated this hectic year. To Jenna, Hannah, Makayla and Clara, I will you all the success in the world as you go off to college. It has been fun suffering alongside you guys during our stressful afternoons in the

I cannot thank you enough for all you have done for me and for the publication as a whole these past four years; you truly are superhuman and I do not know how you are able to do all that you do. All my love to Rylee and Remi as well! H52 has been my home for the past four years, and I will miss it and everyone deeply.
