his month is November! Now that the Queen’s been dead for 60 days, the birds have begun singing, the grass is greener and I’ve been slowly decaying! It’s been great.
Kacey Acosta, Advertising Manager advertisingmanager@22westmedia.com
Crazy how time flies when you’re constantly being crushed by work, deadlines and school! You would think that fall would be an enjoyable time for baking, cinnamon and yarn. However, I think that it is time for the numbing cold. Cold fear. Loss. Detriment. Illness. The decaying of minds. I can’t remember what I was doing last week, or yesterday for that matter. The sun rises and it sets with a cold apathy toward humanity. Like Sisyphus, we are all doomed to eternal punishment, working toward the peak, awaiting the inevitable fall. But hey, Community issue! Isn’t that nice. We’ve got a nice array of content for you to consume wholefully and thoroughly. Ever feel hungry on campus and feel like there aren’t any options? Are you gluten-free and live in perpetual hunger because of the lack of choices for you? Then you’ll feel reaffirmed by this issue because a couple of our writers have several bones to pick with this lovely campus. I don’t really know what else to write for this note honestly.

Do you guys feel that weather change? Pretty crazy. It was hot then it was cold and sometimes hot. Pretty wild how that works. Weather just keeps on weathering. You see that article the Daily 49er put out? How gas prices aren’t that high? That was pretty funny. I’ll add that to the list of favorite articles published by the newspaper, right next to their published letter to the editor, “Thank you, President Trump” written in 2021, where he was thanked for being a pro-life president, not causing the January 6th White House riot, and questioned why progressive students were “so violent.” I love student media.
