"Life and Pandemic" - Spring 2020

YouTube, playing Animal Crossing, and letting their friends show
them movies that they’ve never seen.
Kristie Song (Because you are here)
I am a graduating senior and will be
attending UC Berkeley’s Graduate program
for Journalism as my next endeavor.
I hope to continue telling stories that are
meaningful for others through a variety of
mediums but have always found writing
to be my most comfortable retreat.
Caitlyn Johnson (What, then, will be left)
Originally from San Francisco (and presently living there due to
the pandemic), Caitlyn is currently a second year studying Film
and Media Studies and English at UCI. Her work has actually never
been published before this year (though another of her pieces is
being featured in Neon Anteater Renaissance’s 2020 spring issue)
and so she is very excited for this occasion! Aside from writing
short fiction, she spends her time writing scripts and making short
films, listening to music, and watching a whole lot of TV.
Brianna Pinon (Temporary Escape)
My name is Brianna Pinon. I am currently,
as I write this, a third-year education
major at UCI. I have been writing since I
was in the second grade and plan to keep
writing until I die (whenever that may
be). Without the constant support from
my family and boyfriend, I would have
disintegrated from stress. I hope everyone
is well and to appreciate the people
out there trying to make the world a
better place while holding all the broken
pieces.
