Issue Story has finally come....

I usually don't have much problem coming up with a story ideas, but with this issue idea I found that I was simply stumped. I eventually got my idea thorough examining the problems that I face as a college student. One issue that stuck out like a sore thumb in my academic life,and other students have expressed the same concern is Free Printing. Printing papers becomes a hassle for me personally as a journalism student because I have papers due usually every week.Unfortunately, this can become a serious financial burden when there are few to no free printing resources on campus, and I am forced to put money on my buck id, or find another avenues. I also found that several stuents were dishearted when they looked to find the annual $5 that is put on each student's buck id was not given this year. So, I feel that this is a serious issue, that needs to be addressed.

Not in a good Mood......

The last profile story I think was OK. I do not think that I deserved the grade I received, but I guess I'll just have to do better next time. I do believe that writing can be very subjective, and at times I do not agree with most edits because the way I write may not be one person's style and vice versa.
So obviously my grade and some of the unnecessary tedious work that I feel we have to do for this course at times bothers me, and I wonder how would I handle this when I get an actual job as a journalist.
However, no matter how upset I may be right now or in the future I always try to stay grounded in the fact that I must become a great journalist. So no matter how many tiny mistakes I feel do not validate a particuliar grade , or how I may disagree with some of the assignments and their relevance I know that eventually I will become better for it.

Meeting Story blah blah blah..

Well unfortuntely I am not too enthusiastic about writng my meeting story. Hopefully I can get more excited about soon. I am writing my meeting story about The Black Student Association meeting, which will take place this Thursday Oct.14 from 7-9pm. I think the problem that I am having is how to make this story interesting without simply telling exatly what occured at the meeting. I think that because meetings arent really all that fun , and can sometimes be tedious and boring that this will be a challenge.However, I plan to do my best and produce an excellent story.

Profile Story

Well with the help of my classmates I chose to do my profile story on Erin Johnson.
I enjoyed writing the article but of course I am my biggest critic and before I could put the final period on my last statement I could already see problematic issues with my article.
I must have read it over a thousand times becuase before I ever check grammar, punctuation or AP style I want to make sure that my article has a flow.
You know when you read an article and every paragragh seems to so seamlessly trail the last .
I think that is crucial in any article you read because even if everything else is perfect , without a flow, no one will be able to understand your paper.
I had a hard time doing that with this article. I found that I rearranged paragraghs several times, yet I could not be satisfied.
I am slowly but surely getting over my fear of editing so I really am hoping that the four other eyes could see what I missed.
I also think that I needed to be a lot more descriptive of Erin in my profile piece this would help grasp my readers attention more.
I hope I did okay with grammar and AP style because it seems like no matter what I always miss something.
Overall I am pretty happy with my article, but I know that it can reach its full potential through a lot more editing.
