In the name of journalism...
I’ll spare you the details of how I came across this video, but I will say, you won’t want to miss Jenn Field’s story on Coloradodaily.com tomorrow. Journalism, like any other job, has it’s good days and bad. I like to think the reporters covering the camel jumping competition in Yemen were having a good day. So far, I’ve been python hunting (see the photo below),...

One side of summer
As a campus reporter winter break, spring break and summer is quiet. Some days are filled with scrambling around for a story or a source until the last minute. I often wonder ‘who’s reading this stuff’ as I look around the CU-Boulder campus and see a total of 3 people walking across the usually busy campus. But today the break is relaxing. I’m sitting in the sun...

Drama queen!
I’m a woman and as much as I hate to admit it, I can’t help being attracted to drama. Exhibit A: I’m a journalist. I have a love, hate relationship with the journalism industry. I love the constant evolution. I hate that I frequently wonder if I’m going to lose my job. I love learning about something new every day. I hate having 24 hours to become an expert in a topic...

Enough already, let me do my job!
This is a great GIF to start this post from likeacollegejourno: When a source asks me if I’m going to make them look good… Ugh! I hate it when people ask me that because first of all, if you’re asking it’s because you know that’s not my job. You wouldn’t ask if I’m going to make you look good or not if you thought my job was solely to promote you...

Sharing is caring →
I blogged yesterday about my love affair with Ryan Gosling and the story I was writing about coffeeandprocrastination. Well today they shared my story on their blog and retweeted about it and I must say as a journalist I LOVE it when people share my stuff. I mean it’s not like this went viral or anything but it’s such a nice compliment when someone shares something I wrote on their...

Don't tell my husband ....
Today I’m writing a story about some CU-Boulder students who have started a tumblr blog called Coffee and Procrastination. Rough day of research right? I mean I had to meet them at a coffee shop this morning to chat and then spent hours on their blog and others doing “research” for this story. UGH. How much more hilarity can I handle? I’ve resisted the urge to reblog 100%...
