As I sit here typing away in a bedroom full of new bedding and moving boxes for my future apartment up in Normal, IL, my mind is reminding myself of one question: “WHAT IS HAPPENING?” Well, what is happening? In August, I’m moving to live in an apartment with 2-3 other girls and start a new chapter of my life in Bloomington/Normal, IL. I plan to earn my Bachelor’s in Arts at Illinois State University with a major in Journalism. Am I excited? Yes! Am I perpetually nervous and freaked out about all of these new changes? YES! However, if there’s one lesson I’ve learned about life, it’s this: change is uncomfortable. Yet, the un- comfortability of change has followed me my whole life. I’ve moved and started new schools plenty of times. I’ve made friends, lost friends, gained new friends, then had to say goodbye to friends again. I’ve switched up my major multiple times. I went from graduating high school to graduating from community college–and, in two years (I hope), I’ll graduate from university! Gosh, in the next couple of weeks, life will be a huge adjustment–but I am excited (and cautiously nervous) about what is to come. I want to thank Jonathan Leach for allowing me to express my thoughts in these monthly VFTV editors’ notes. They’re fun! Jonathan has been a great boss and friend to me. I hope his writing will continue to spark and inform readers everywhere! I have loved writing for VFTV, and I am happy I was given this opportunity to write about employees and on-campus events/programs/opportunities. Now, I must spread my wings at another educational institution. I won’t ever forget the love and great memories from the WVC community. Although change is uncomfortable, it’s what keeps me and other humans moving toward the next big thing. So–without further ado–change the page, flip the page, switch to the next page (however you do it), and read on to the next best story! This is Maggee, signing off ♥ As we bid farewell to the sunny days of summer and embrace the arrival of August, we at WVC are filled with a mix of emotions. It's that bittersweet time of year when we are both sad to see summer go and excited to welcome back our faculty and students for another amazing fall semester. We take pride in our community of learners, educators, and staff who bring life and vibrancy to our campus. It's heartwarming to see familiar faces returning, eager to begin new academic pursuits. While the carefree days of summer might be fading away, the sense of camaraderie and excitement that accompanies the beginning of the fall semester fills our hearts with enthusiasm. So, dear readers, as we enjoy the last bit of summer, let's also look forward to the new academic year with eagerness and optimism. We are excited to welcome back our faculty and students and start another amazing fall semester at WVC. Wishing you all a wonderful end to the summer and a successful and enriching semester ahead!
