Usually, there's a formula for writing these editor's notes. We editors are supposed to use an anecdote from our lives to relate to a story in the issue, prompting you, the reader, to "check it out on page ___." So, if I were doing that for this issue, I'd write about the first time I bit into a slice of cream cheese pizza from Pizza Shuttle (page 8), or how I can't stand the vegetable and vodka drink known as a Bloody Mary (page 13).
But, I'm not going to do that this time. I've written 15 editor's notes, each relating to an individual story. I don't have a go-to time and place for my creative inspiration: I write them in cursive handwriting on notebook paper in class, or on my computer, sitting in bed on Monday nights I don't feel like doing homework (like right now), and I've even written one directly on the computer screen, a few hours before the looming send-off deadline.
I dread writing them and I love writing them because of the opportunity to reveal a piece about myself. I've written about my study abroad adventures in England,
my relationship with my mom, my athletic tendencies, my sixth grade Valentine's Day (which remains my absolute favorite), and much more.
Compiling all of my notes could, in fact, create a decent self-portrait, but it only scratches the surface of my writing.
When it came time to pick a major in college, I didn't think about money. I didn't think about getting a job after I graduated. I thought about what I wanted to do. And what I wanted and still want to do is write. Jayplay helped me continue this passion, and after three hard semesters of reporting, writing and editing, I am done.
The page with my editor's note is always the last to be sent. No matter how many times I've read over, rewritten and overanalyzed the note, I sit in front of the screen dissecting every sentence. I think about every implication of my words, then Anna, the associate editor, tells me to stop being ridiculous and type "G0" beneath the page. After that, there's no turning back.
So, as I send off my final page as editor, I pass the torch. I wish the new editors the best of luck, and I hope you readers got as much out of Jayplay as I did this semester. It's been an amazing learning experience, and I have my wonderful writers, designers, associate editor and adviser to thank for that. Thank you.
