I have to say, February is one of my least favorite months. At least it\u2019s short. Otherwise, I wouldn\u2019t know how to handle the brutal cold it brings. Also, all the snow. The other day my nana called to ask how much snow I thought we had. She was asking for all the ladies who live on her floor.\u00a0 I think the only nice thing about this month is that as the days go by, I can almost see Spring Break in sight. I don\u2019t know about you, but I\u2019m excited to be headed somewhere warmer.<\/p>\n<p>While I keep reminding myself to stay strong until the third week of March, I would also like to give a huge thank-you to the UMPI community and anyone who supported the U Time\u2019s fundraiser. As some of you may know, the U Times held a raffle fundraiser for three weeks. With the club members having met their goal within the first week of sales, their success would not have been possible without the outpouring of support seen from individuals both on and off campus.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that\u2019s all I\u2019ve got for now, folks! I hope you all caught the awesome day-after Valentines Day candy sales. I know I surely did!<\/p>\n<p>Stay warm and until next month,<\/p>\n<p>Abi Davis<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6100\" style=\"width: 345px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wp.umpi.edu\/utimes\/2019\/10\/30\/editors-letter-6\/img-7497\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6100\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6100\" class=\" wp-image-6100\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.umpi.edu\/utimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2019\/10\/IMG-7497-777x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"335\" height=\"442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.umpi.edu\/utimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2019\/10\/IMG-7497-777x1024.jpg 777w, https:\/\/wp.umpi.edu\/utimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2019\/10\/IMG-7497-227x300.jpg 227w, https:\/\/wp.umpi.edu\/utimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2019\/10\/IMG-7497-768x1013.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wp.umpi.edu\/utimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2019\/10\/IMG-7497-1200x1582.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.umpi.edu\/utimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2019\/10\/IMG-7497.jpg 1553w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 335px) 100vw, 335px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6100\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Abi Davis, editor.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear readers, Love is in the air, folks\u2013 and so is some sort of flu bug!
