saying Goodbye.

To the staff who helps publish our literary magazine every year, The  Muse is more than just a class. It's an escape from the stress of school, the expectations of society, and a way for us to find others who enjoy the arts as much as we do. In the hours we spend building our magazine from the ground up, blasting music in our work room, having spontaneous donut parties, and laughing our heads off--we become a family; a group of extraordinary misfits who found their place in life's puzzle piece. Thus, every year when we have to say goodbye to some of our own, it not only breaks our hearts, but leaves an empty space in The Muse.  At the end of the day, we'll never forget our family.

To all our seniors: good luck in college! We love you and will miss you!

We all find it hard writing about ourself;  read Abbi's method in how to  construct the perfect "about me" essay-- one that helped her get into Brown University.
