Well, to be honest I didn’t really have a choice to not be involved in Student Publications. With my three older siblings all being editors of the newspaper I was pretty much forced into it, but I felt I had to continue the tradition. When I enrolled though, I was super eager to be on staff. I was told Student Pub was a family atmosphere, and I have learned over my four years it most definitely is. From the time I couldn’t get my car to turn off at my very first staff meeting to the late night work nights where many tears have been shed, everyone has always been there for each other, and that is what I love about Student Pub. It is hard to say what newspaper has been like these past four years, but to sum it up I have to say rewarding. I never thought it would mean so much to me to read my name in the newspaper, but I always perk up when I see my name, knowing people are reading my own words, and in some instances making a change. I love all of the Nerds and Smith with all of my heart. It is going to be so heartbreaking to walk out and say goodbye to 604 for the final time.
