Happy Wednesday!
There are only a few more days left until the last day of classes! I hope everyone is doing all right, as I know life can get so crazy around this time!
I would also like to take the time to thank everyone who has taken the time to come to news meetings and write news articles this semester! Working with all of you was not only the highlight of my Mondays, but honestly my whole semester! With online classes and the pandemic, things have been so hard and I'm so happy that we were still able to build a news community over zoom!!
I also want to thank you all for being so patient with me! I'm hoping that next semester will be better for all of us :)
So thank you all again! Good luck on your exams! This semester has been so horrible with online learning, so please be kind to yourselves!
And as always, if you ever need anything, even during the holidays, please feel free to reach out! I'm always here if you want a refresher on news writing, want to take on a story, or just need someone to talk to!
Because some of you still want a meeting on the last day of classes, I will be holding one! Feel free to come if you have some time, but if you would rather get started on studying for your exams, no worries!!
We will probably do something chill and fun, so if anyone has any ideas on what to do let me know!
If you have some time, here are some news pitches! Because we're entering exams, we can work out a deadline that works for you!
