“In this magazine, we wanted to center the experience of students, and how we have interacted with this world we’ve all been thrown into—we tell the stories of new students entering Mason with no real source of connection, of Mason students coping with mental health challenges, of college recruitment in an unfamiliar new landscape,” reads the Editor’s Letter.  “Our resident music writer Audrey Morrison writes about the strange experience of being a teenager in 2020 through connections she draws in the discography of a favorite band. We share students’ feelings of nostalgia and excitement as our school moves to a new building without us there to say goodbye to the old. It’s far past tolerable to hear at this point, but it’s true—these months have been nothing if not unprecedented.”
