Eagle Era

Welcome back fellow Eagles,

     I hope you’ve rested well over your Thanksgiving Break. I wished we at the Eagle Era could, but the end of the month always happens, so we keep working. 

     That being said, the staff has worked extra hard for this month’s issue. We don’t necessarily want to work over break so we have to do much more in less time, which has always proved to be quite the challenge. As this is my third year with the Eagle Era, (yay!) I always get scared at this time of the year. Most of us don’t realize how quick we need to work until we’re in the middle of the rush, and it gets even more stressful with UC applications due at the end of the month. That being said, I am very proud of what our staff has accomplished so far. 

     Our staff has been amazing this year (sorry to brag). There have been so many great ideas and concepts floating around the Journalism room that I’ve been surprised by how invested we have been already. It’s only our second month publishing this year and our staff has thought of so many things we could do as a team. For me, it’s amazing to hear their perspectives and see where this paper is going already. To all my staffers and fellow editors reading this right now, thanks for being so passionate, and I’m really grateful to be working with you all. 

     Whether or not you’re part of our wonderful Eagle Era staff, November is a weird and stressful time for everyone. The year is starting to end, and with that the strange dread that comes with the change of seasons. College applications are due (sorry fellow seniors) and everything kind of becomes bleak. Everything starts to die off and with that, goes people’s motivations. 

     That being said, I hope you can still find ways to bring yourself joy during the next couple months. I know California doesn’t really get cold, but you can always pretend it does and make yourself a big bowl of soup to “warm up.” It can be hard to avoid seasonal depression with the weather change and the stress of school, but make sure to take care of yourself however you can. Take a nap, do a face mask, make yourself good food, spend time with friends. 

     Have a great December and finals week Eagles, and please remember to sleep. At the end of it all, we get another break and proper rest. 

     “Stay hip and fresh!”
