Dear reader,
's note 's note 's note
As Maria said in The Sound of Music, “I simply remember my favourite things, and then I don’t feel so bad,” our favourite things are the things that brighten our day. Something that parts the clouds and reveals the sun or creates rainbows within the rain. Something we hold dear to our hearts to seek comfort in its familiarity.
A favourite thing might be a possession. Something that might bring comfort and nostalgia.
A favourite thing might be a passion. Something we dedicate time and effort to.
A favourite thing might be a place. Somewhere we might go to escape and relax.
A favourite thing might be a person. Someone who is there for the smiles and hard times.
No matter what your favourite things are, our favourite things are what define us. What makes each of us unique. What we naturally gravitate towards in our own little orbit. What brings us joy in life.
In our second issue of the year, we asked the JNB student body: “What are your favourite things?” What are the things that make you excited to start your day? The things that make your heart flutter when you think about them? Our second issue, FAVOURITE, is a visual representation of the joyful feelings we have for our favourite things.
What are your favourite things?
Happy reading!

Oh! You treacherous creature, with your beady eyes, muted steps, and vicious canines which bite the hand that feeds. Not even the devil dismisses your petulant pleas.
You and your acute antics, will absolutely send me to an early grave. If I hear another splintering smash of glass –you will be facing the wrath of my indignation; first-class.
However, I still hold you with the utmost care, even if you are a lot to bear, but to be fair you have the burden, the burden of nine lives.
So I forgive you, if you take the burden of my boundless love – 9 times.

my favourite
ariana mahalA grain of sugar in the sour
A four leafed clover
You are so so rare.
You bring me to my knees in desire
As you pluck seeds of light one by one from my dreary eyes.
Maybe you're a liar.
Maybe it's all just me
Maybe, but it wouldn't matter.
It's the pain that hurts so good it's worth it all
Though, my problem is
You'll always be my favourite
No matter how horribly bitter your taste
I'll search for your one grain of sugar.
So feed me your words of lemons and dandelions
Stuff it down my throat so I'm a damp barrel of wilted daffodils.
But hey it was worth it all.
you’re still my favourite after all.

This semester, JNB's very own Women in Leadership club hosted their annual Seniors' Breakfast! As their club name suggests, WIL is a team of young women who initiate and perpetuate leadership and inclusivity in their community. The Seniors' Breakfast is a special event meant to spark joy and holiday cheer for our community's seniors who may otherwise not have much interaction with family, and our student body rose to the occasion to ensure the seniors had a wonderful holiday full of happiness! As we bid farewell to the holidays and cold weather, JNB Literary Magazine would like to commemorate Women in Leadership's Seniors' Breakfast and add this fantastic event to our evergrowing list of favourite memories!
