A staff member says goodbye

Journalism was something I did not have any interest in. That's probably a strange opinion to read in a newspaper, but it's true. However, since college is supposed to be a time for learning and engaging in new experiences, I thought I should become involved with any aspect of my major, mass communication, possible. Shortly after joining the staff, I discovered that journalism, while being a lot of hard work, could be extremely fun and rewarding.

Although it did not alter my career path, I can honestly say that joining Prospectus News was the best choice that I made at Parkland. In my time on the staff, I met some of the greatest individuals that I have ever had the pleasure to call friends. You know who you are. Yeah, I'm talking about you, too.

I also thank Prospectus News, along with WPCD, for giving me the opportunity to interview some amazing musicians. Getting press passes for the 2010 and 2011 Pygmalion Music Festival wasn't too bad, either!

Although staff members came and went, incredibly high levels of dedication, friendliness, teamwork, and helpfulness remained a constant factor. I encourage everyone to seriously consider becoming involved in one of Parkland's many fantastic organizations and clubs. I am lucky enough to say that in my experience, every ounce of hard work was ultimately matched with an equally strong sounding of laughter.
