Thank You
Caitlyn Johnson, Editor-In-Chief
When one door closes another opens. As graduation approaches and my last Otter Realm hits newsstands the only words I can think of are, thank you.
To CSU Monterey Bay (CSUMB) thank you for providing a home for me for the past four years. You became a place where I felt comfortable and myself. I found my niche here. Between the small classes and the friendly atmosphere this was my dream college. The life lessons and life events here have given me the tools to go out into the world and make a difference. Thank you.
To the Otter Realm readers who make all the hard work worth it and made me strive to make the best newspaper, thank you. Our understanding and caring readers make the learning process for the newspaper possible. The constructive criticism and the encouraging words kept us going. I ask that you keep reading the Otter Realm because I know great things are to come. Thank you…

Keep the Summer
Romance Burning
I’m not psychic, but I can pretty much predict that with this break, a handful of summer romances will be burning brightly. However, most of these relationships won’t even survive past Labor Day.
To some people, summer love is fun and extremely exciting; however, many times it could also be very stressful trying to keep it alive during and beyond the season. There are many reasons as to why a summer romance might not last and some of them can easily be prevented. Here are some tips to help your romance last, even after the weather cools down.
- Take it nice and slow. Many relationships have come to a complete halt because one person was getting too serious way too fast. Remember that after just one week, you have only seen a fraction of that person’s true colors. Allow yourself to learn more about that person and let your feelings to either grow or disappear. Even if you think he or she is “the one”, don’t rush into confessing it just yet. If it’s truly meant to be, there is no hurry into letting them know. They’re obviously not going anywhere anytime soon…
