LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Dear any and all fedgling Buckeyes,

Allow me to be the umpteenth person to extend a warm welcome to you on Ohio State’s — and, by extension, The Lantern’s — behalf.

I can hardly believe a new year is already upon us, but time does have a funny way of slipping by unnoticed. As a frst-year, I was thrilled by the prospect of writing for a legitimate newspaper.

Two years later, that feeling of exhilaration I once held close to my chest has expanded. I am now an editor, much to my slightly younger self’s delight.

Arts & Life’s purpose is acquainting you with the Columbus community, which grows ever more vibrant with each passing day. Our desk thrives off of human-interest content, and we consistently seek out stories pertaining to visual art, music, dance, flm, theater, literature, fashion and pop culture. Of course, coloring outside the lines is never discouraged. Sometimes the most captivating ideas cannot be sorted into a single category.

In this print edition, you can expect to see guides detailing notable aspects of student life at Ohio State. Discover a BuckID’s off-campus capabilities, this year’s Welcome Week happenings and even precious pieces of advice from Tony- winning actress Bonnie Milligan.

Consider each article, What’s Up and Q&A a love letter from us to you. Expect more all year long.

Being at a loss for words is somewhat of a rarity for Lantern staffers, but we appreciate your readership more than words can possibly describe.

All my well wishes,
