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 (attempting to tan my pasty white legs) near the fountains at the student center as I wait for an event to start.

Since I’m sure you’ll hear me complain about the lack of stories at some point over the next few months, I thought I’d share my happy summer mood first.

BE JEALOUS!

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% of their posts so as not to annoy my followers but I had to share this one because apparently one of the students shares my obsession (seriously) with Ryan Gosling.

In the Notebook he looks SO much like my husband did when we met! Hooray for me!

Check out the blog below if you need a laugh today.

I was on the CU-Boulder campus this morning talking to students about the hectic end-of-semester push and man am I glad not to be taking finals!
Some students have been studying for next week’s exams for weeks. Others haven’t even cracked a study guide because they’re too busy stressing over papers and projects they have to finish first.
Either way, I’m glad it’s not me.
This job makes me appreciate being an adult some days.
