Being a part of The Journal taught me more about the world, campus culture, and work ethic than I could ever imagine. I’ll miss hearing all the interesting things people have to say at Ed Board and layout each week, and just being surrounded by the coolest people ever!

What I’ll miss most about The Journal is having a purpose for my drawings and seeing them find a home in articles each week. It gave me the space to be consistently creative, helping me refine my style, which is something I hope to carry forward throughout my artistic endeavours. I’ll also miss the way The Journal pushed me to conduct interviews, write with confidence, and ask more questions, showing me that I had a voice all along.”

Being a part of The Journal has made me feel a strong tie to the Kingston and Queen’s community. Being part of the process of platforming student opinions connects me to different perspectives seen on campus.

Though it’ll be nice to have my Thursday nights back, there’s a lot I’ll miss about The Journal. Though I was a bit of a latecomer to the masthead, it’s totally changed my life. I’ll miss the community the most, both the incredible people I’ve met within The Journal staff, and all the wonderful, interesting, ionate individuals I’ve met while on the job. I’m sad to leave, but grateful for the impressive toolkit it’s given me for the rest of my career.

Without a doubt, the thing I’m going to miss most is attending the sports games. From Nixon all the way over to Richardson, The Journal gave me the motivation to hone my love for sports in a new way, and I’m forever grateful.

I’ll miss being able to travel and photograph everything under the sun. Also the chokehold that it had over my Thursdays, now I’ll need to find something else to spend my nights on.
—Herbert Wang, Assistant Sports Editor
Even though I sometimes dreaded the long hours that came with press nights, I’ll definitely miss working press nights. These nights made me really feel like I was working in a newsroom, and that feeling made all the long hours worth it.
