Chrysalis

As fall semester wraps up, so does the deadline to submit any work for the  Chrysalis.  We would like to take this time to wish everyone good luck on their finals (and faculty members good luck in grading them all) as well as a happy Thanksgiving for all. As Literary Editor, I'm very thankful for everything the  Chrysalis  has given me and only hope to see this publication grow further as the years go on. Ask me three months ago and I would've never said I would someday become an editor for any publication, much less one as big as the  Chrysalis . The  Chrysalis  has been around for three decades so far, which still astounds even us to this day, but we know it's all thanks to you. Whether you're an amateur writer/artist/photographer hoping to make a name for yourself or simply someone who loves doing any of that on the side, our success is directly attributable to you, our readers and our contributors. Don't be afraid to flood our emails last minute for a chance t

Saturday we spend the afternoon at the EPCC Literary Fiesta.   What a great time we had!   We got to meet wonderful people, share  Chrysalis , and just have a generally good time! Plus, we had a blast Bartering for Bling and were showered with songs, dances, jokes, and riddles!

Seeing that we at Chrysalis  are starting on a new leg of our journey, it's time we all introduce ourselves! We already know about  what  Chrysalis  is, but exactly  who  are we? Not to worry, here are our short and sweet introductions.  _________________________________________ Jonathan Pollmann Literary/Prose Editor EPCC Student Hobbies: Gaming, Writing, Traveling, Sleeping for just fifteen more minutes  Email: otakujournalist@gmail.com My life can honestly be summarized mainly by my hobbies. I've always been into gaming since six years old and had a fascination with traveling the world with hopefully someone special one day. I'd say I learned about my love for writing around middle school when I'd jump at the chance for any kind of writing assignments, including essays, which everyone dreaded (Yes, I was that guy haha). From there it snowballed to writing on my own, joining literary websites, and now this! I hope to become a freelance writer myself f
