Letter from the Editor

This is a big one, Beat freaks.

The Beat of Boston University is officially TEN YEARS OLD!! To celebrate, I lit a jar candle, closed my eyes, and blew it out while imagining what a zine would wish for. I didn’t come up with much, but at least that makes it easy to grant.

As is the nature of college organizations, The Beat’s founding membership is long graduated, likely enjoying their late 20s and wondering if journalism was really the right decision after all. I kid, of course - how does the saying about glass houses go?

Well regardless, here’s to The Beat! Here’s to ten strong years, and here’s to ten more! Who knows, by the time The Beat turns twenty, maybe we won’t be printing these on paper anymore! Maybe it’ll all be QR codes and finger swiping. That can’t be right - QR codes will be obsolete by then.

Enjoy the issue! (Ideally, over a piece of cake)

With Love, MacLean Bishop Editor-in-Chief
