welcome to issue #8 of ACHE magazine. next month, i’m moving to new york city to start my first year of college, and the thought is daunting. a new world awaits me, with different rules, different expectations, and different paths. the next four years could shape the rest of my life. at first, i was afraid that i’d make a mistake, misstep, and my whole future would unravel. every little action and decision felt so monumental. but then i realized that life is a series of mistakes, decisions, and, sometimes, triumphs. now, i hope to look forward without hesitation or fear, and we at ACHE invite you to do the same. what are you waiting for? take the leap. as always, ACHE is looking for submissions from artists, designers, photographers, writers, bloggers, musicians, and more. we’re open to adding writers, photographers, and editors to our staff, so let us see samples of your work! to submit, send us your full name, age, city and state/country, and a link to an online website or portfolio, along with five to ten low-resolution samples of your work.
weareachemagazine@gmail.com keep living young, keep making art, and keep reading ACHE.
love,
jackie luo editor-in-chief
