Hi, 

I doubt you remember me, considering how little I've done over these past three years. But I've come to say goodbye for the first, last, and only time.

I created this page to share my love of Minecraft; then after a while it became an afterthought, only working on it when I was asked, and often not to the greatest of my ability.

What I did create often failed, I found. The build competition, the suggestion form, the quiz, the interesting and questionable images. But do I really care?

I don’t know if I can give a straightforward answer to that question.

I feel now that I could and couldn’t have done more, but I can’t change that now, can I?

The question of who, if anyone, will replace me in my post has plagued me for a while; Will they continue my section the way I would, if at all?

Will it become Roblox Tips and Tricks? Or something else? Do I even really care? Does it even really matter in the grand scheme of things? Who am I to know...

For the likely single person who is reading this, I give you permission to take my place. To continue the page, and continue what little impact this has had on the school.

I joined as a comic artist in 6th grade. Which now I find ironic considering I made all of two comics both of which made little to no sense even to me, the author.

In the past I had made comics which were retellings of events that had happened at home or school, starring myself in stick figure form along with a few family members and friends. None of these were submitted and published, however, despite them being categorized as “official BUGS comics” due to my membership in the 2022-2023 BUGS comic club.

After that, I started the Minecraft page which was the first video game themed page on the Hornet Headlines. The majority of the features added in that original run were kept through all three years, though unedited as I spent the majority of my time watching YouTube during the Hornet Headlines meetings.

After two years of that endeavor, I received a new job within the Hornet Headlines as a graphic designer for the website. Though I admit I could have done a bit better, the Home page did look a lot nicer after I gave it a flower background (I, once again, find this ironic as I have a fear of flowers).

I got a few art pieces published, organized a few unsuccessful events, made my final adjustments to the Minecraft page…

And here we are now.

The end of middle school for me.

So who will take my place? If anyone at all...

Sincerely, 

Mia Hardiman, the former Hornet Headlines comic artist, website designer, and manager of the Minecraft tips and tricks page.

For long time readers of this very hidden section (I doubt there are any),  this may seem like a new format for me. But, today, I'm taking a page out of Matpat's book and taking a crack at game theories.
