EDITOR’S LETTER Kia ora, and welcome to our FIFTH issue! Well, it’s 2019. I don’t know about you, but 2018 felt both long and short at the same time. It really is insane how time works. Without further pondering—welcome back! I was looking back at issue one and had a full-body cringe at how crappy my designing skills were. Like, wow. Gross. I think it’s safe to say that the quality of our content has vastly improved since September 2017. This quarter’s issue is about the human body. We have some new writers on board this issue, so that is incredibly exciting for us. We’ve also got our ride-or-dies with us, so shout outs to all of you!
Speaking of conversation, did you know that we now have a Facebook and Instagram page? Find us on those social media platforms and flick us a message! We’d be more than happy to interact with our lovely supporters. Shameless promotion aside, this is a wonderful issue, and it’s amazing to see how much we grow with every quarter. Hope you’ve all had a wonderful start to the academic year, and let’s make this year of The Outlet the best yet. But that’s all from me for now. See y’all in a few months. Stay sickening, folks.
We’ve also partnered up with MyCup NZ and have some cool ass discounts and freebies you can read about in this issue! This issue has got some thoughtprovoking and moving topics lined up for you—from body image and body hair to colourism and eating disorders. Some hefty points of conversation.
