Student newspaper

Exciting News

Hey guys! I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I just wanted to pop in and share some exciting news.

A few weeks ago, I was asked by one of my communications advisers to be the editor of Penn State New Kensington’s student newspaper, The Nittany Pride

I said yes!

It’s seriously amazing how I continue see God’s hand in my life. A few months ago, I was really upset about dropping my meteorology class because I knew it would put me behind a semester.

(^That is a screenshot from part of the post about dropping the class. I’m so glad I trusted God with His plan for me!)

I decided that I would spread my senior year out over three semesters, instead of cramming in an extra class on top of the tough senior classes I have to take. The awesome thing about spreading out my credits is that I now get to take less classes per semester.

So, where am I going with all of this? The bottom line is that if I didn’t drop meteorology, I wouldn’t had the time to commit to being the editor of the school paper. At the time, I didn’t understand why I just couldn’t do well in that class. Then I felt guilty for dropping it, but decided to trust that God would work everything out in some awesome way. He totally did. As usual.

These are some of my articles published in previous issues:
Pit Bull Terriers: Friend Or Foe?
Animal Protectors Committed to Helping Local Strays
The Importance of Sun-Protection
Leasing Company Helps Landowners With Marcellus Shale
PA TEA Party Grows, Organizers Stand Behind Cain

I have a few more articles that will be in the next edition of the school paper, which is going to be published tomorrow or Monday. Exciting!

I feel extremely blessed to have this opportunity. I know that being the editor of the school paper is a lot of hard work and responsibility, but I’m also really excited to learn and grow through the next few semesters that I will be holding this position.

New article & new shoes

Howdy and happy Wednesday!

I got some new shoes. I like them, except they gave me an awful blister. I don’t plan on running in them, but I do enjoy walking Lola in them. They were $50 at Dick’s Sporting Goods.

I wrote another article for the school paper: The Importance of Sun-Protection.

Also of note in my life:

  • My dad is really good at cooking/grilling. I always forget that he was trained as a cook in the Navy. On Sunday he grilled salmon for my family and it was so good!
  • I got new gauges. I went up a size (er, down.. technically?), to a size 8, and Jimmy hates them. I don’t plan on going so big that I have a gaping hole in my ear, I promise. 
  • I’m reading a really good book right now. I can’t wait to do a review when I’m finished. 
  • My brother LOVES avocados and I found a great recipe for him in an old Food Network magazine… avocado pie. I mailed it to him today and I’m totally wondering if he’s going to make it!

The new gauges that Jimmy hates :p

Avocado pie. I’m not sure what to think!
