After five semesters of reporting “just the facts” for The Badger Herald’s news department, it felt odd earlier this summer to throw a little of my own personal reflection into a piece printed amid these pages. However, I am excited for my next adventure at the Herald as editor in chief. I’ve learned from some great ones before me, and I am excited for the challenges ahead.

Albeit a stereotypical response, I do bring a pretty open mind to the editorial board. I yell at the TV when both conservatives and liberals spew out bullshit or misleading responses, and I have yet to be completely inspired by any politician in my lifetime. You might not always agree with us — or maybe you never will — but I hope you will still check out what we have to say on a daily basis.
