Six days of winter break found me in a car, traveling happily cross-country from New Jersey to San Diego, Calif. on a trip I won’t soon forget. I learned as much as I experienced on this trip, and I’d like to share with you the ways this trip changed me and the enlightment it helped me to attain, from start to finish.

Welcome back to another semester!

The Mosaic staff hope you all had time to relax and had as much fun as our editors did. For this special back to school edition, we wanted to bring you along to experience the sights we’ve seen since you heard from us last.
