The Quid N LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
One Last Hurrah! Faith Dehghan | 3L

47volume vi issue11
The Quid has been a creative outlet in an environment where I sometimes felt there was no room for anything but the law. Prior to law school, I was considering a career in digital media or publishing. I loved to write, edit, and consume media, and I still do! Art in any form gives colour to life itself. In a world of case briefs and fact patterns, it has remained a shining light for me.
I blinked and now it’s somehow the end of 3L and I’m writing my final Letter from the Editor. I cannot believe time has gone by so quickly. It feels like it was just yesterday when I entered the faculty as a 1L, with absolutely no idea what I was doing. Things have changed since then! I know what I am doing about 25% of the time (the other 75% of the time is me winging it and hoping for the best).
I am ever so grateful for stumbling across the Quid booth during Clubs Day and for being trusted to head the publication this year, truly a full-circle moment. I would not have been able to do it without the wisdom, dedication, and brilliance of my partner-in-crime, Catherine Zhang. And to our fantastic team and occasional contributors, thank you for bringing the Quid to life this year! I am very proud to Law school has been a whirlwind of the good, the bad, the have led such a rich and interesting publication that provides amazing, and the surprising. Law school strips you down and a platform for the diverse voices in the faculty. makes you question everything, or at least that's how I felt coming into a field that I honestly was unsure about, I’m writing all of this as if it’s a goodbye forever…it kind of surrounded by people who were living out their lifelong dream. is in a way. While I am not one of the brave souls who was I grappled with what it is I actually wanted and who I wanted able to lock in and complete the program in 3 years, this is to be at the end of this all. I am so lucky to have met some of still my last semester at McGill and my last month in the most wonderful friends, who supported me unconditionally Montreal. I was lucky to make it out of the exchange fiasco through my lows (shoutout to my incredibly bad luck in the this year and will be spending my final semester abroad! Don’t first semester of 1L) and celebrated my wins with me. It is such get me wrong, I am very excited—going on exchange in my a gift to be surrounded by people who you can share the ups and final semester was quite literally the only aspiration I had in downs of life with so freely. Most of all, I appreciate how they 1L—but the finality of it all is a very weird feeling. Montreal reminded me of who I was before law school, and allowed me to is a city that has truly felt like home and now I’ll be starting not lose sight of that girl. As some of my friends love to say: over once again. As one season of life ends, another begins, and I am truly excited to see what comes next! “Maybe law school is the friends we made along the way.”
