Second Thoughts

All good things must come to an end. While the jury is still out on that one, something good has certainly reached an end after five years: my time at The Signal, and of course as your Editor-in-Chief.

In a world that practically forces you to take the cynical route, I have only grown in the opposite direction. I have seen just how much it pays to have some optimism and idealism.

There is a lesson to learn in everything, and there is much I have learned from enduring more than a fair share of criticism. 

An editor-in-chief and a successful college student needs three very important virtues, and this fall, I am making sure I start the semester off right by keeping the following close to my mind and heart: discipline, purpose and duty. 

It’s not every day that a highly populated event makes you remember how much fictional entertainment impacted your life, but it was certainly so on July 17 when I attended Comicpalooza for the first time. 

Welcome to Second Thoughts, the place where I’ll share the reflections and philosophy of me, Troylon Griffin II.
