…forever to go. We launched our daily newsletter one year ago today, on Monday, April 3, 2017. What did we talk about? Gamecock Basketball. Tim Tebow. The gas tax bill. The Bulldog Bridge Program. And awkward gifs. Read it here.

One year = ~260 weekdays = 260 newsletters full of original + aggregated content. And one trip around the sun. Plus, thousands of pieces of reader + follower feedback from you guys. 💌 Thank you for waking up with us each morning – we would not exist without your loyalty.

In honor of this day, a list of some of our favorite things we’ve written:

Let’s make this next year the best year yet. If you haven’t already, send us story ideas for our next ~260 emails.

Shoutout to Beth and Sam for making the content happen every day; all of our interns for all the support (especially Lauren and Nicole for kicking a** this semester); our co-founders, “the Ryans,” for the guidance (and the money); our parent company team at 6AM City for the growth; and our 6AM coworkers in our sister brands, GVLtoday, CHStoday and AVLtoday for the collaboration + fun. Oh, and all of our significant others, families + friends for cheering us on. 🙏
