I Will Do Almost Anything For A Good Story

Even my soaking wet feet weren't bothering me as we were working.

I was hiking through the wet grass for about half a mile to reach the location for our video shoot when I realized that I would totally do almost anything for a good story. Even my soaking wet feet weren't bothering me as we were working.

A good story can make a journalism career and it could give me the opportunity to connect with some amazing people. Plus, I'm here for the adventure; I'm always down for spontaneous activities, which is basically journalism.

It was a really beautiful day in February and my two group members and I were dropped off in, what felt like, the middle of absolute nowhere. None of us really knew where we were and we cannot see any people around us. At this point, we were low-key panicking as I call the project manager and our other contacts. Finally, we see a white truck drive up towards us and a lovely guy named Chris who was more than willing to help us find the crew.

It was such a beautiful walk through land I probably never would have explored without this assignment. It helped get me out of my comfort zone and made me realize that I really am willing to do whatever it takes to get a good story. I take my work very seriously, but I'm still down to roll with the spontaneity of working with other people.

Of course, my free-spirited nature of going with the flow in my journalistic pursuits has definitely landed me in some tough situations before. However, even these tough situations still add layers to my story and make the experience more memorable. My goal is to create the best content I possibly can and going with the flow in possibly crazy situations is one of the best ways to do that.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
