As I approach the halfway mark of my college career while preparing for my third year at the University of New Haven, I’ve taken some time to reflect on my experiences. I’m midway through my journey, and it can be daunting to realize that once my time is up, all I’ll have left are the experiences and wisdom I’ve gained. I want to chronicle and share my experiences with younger students so they can learn what I learned through trial and error.

There is something about the way Josh looks at the universe in this photo—calm, still, undisturbed by the infinite possibilities stretching before him. He doesn't seem overwhelmed by the vastness of it all, nor does he look like someone desperately searching for something more. He is there, in the moment, in that moment's fullness. And that, in itself, is a quiet kind of power.

Late into the night, a half-eaten muffin sits on my desk as I prepare for the next day. Yet, in the quiet moments, I find myself wondering: what exactly did I accomplish today? I’ve always seen life as a sequence of actions without a clear destination. My mind is my most formidable foe, and every day is a battle.

Bittersweet.

Today we release the final edition of the semester, and it is also my last one as Executive Editor of Horseshoe Magazine.

Thank you to every writer, editor, photographer, and reader who made this magazine what it is. Horseshoe lived because of you.

Thank you to Haiden Leach @haiden.leach for building this with me, and to Susan Campbell for changing my life and trusting me with something that meant everything.

Horseshoe is in incredible hands. Gabby will lead it beautifully. Please keep supporting the voices behind it.

This is not a goodbye. I will be back.

Thank you, Horseshoe. 🤍

And just like that, the Fall semester comes to an end.

This is our final edition for this semester, and we made it a pretty great one. There are stories about discoveries and also bittersweet endings.

What’s bittersweet is that we have to say goodbye to our wonderful executive editor Elisa. She resurrected Horseshoe and none of us would be here without her. She got the magazine up and running and turned it into what you see today. We don’t know what we’re going to do without her.

While it’s sad to see her go, there’s also such a bright future ahead. A whole new semester of writing coming soon! And it’s all because of Elisa that any of this is possible.

Go read her final piece and everyone else’s from our new edition right now!
