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.

Recent eats!

Hey! Happy Sunday. I hope you’ve been having a lovely weekend thus far.

My Friday consisted of school, writing, and going to Hannah’s basketball game. Saturday I ran a few miles, got my eyebrows waxed (they REALLY needed it), ate lunch at a cafe, went to a car show, and had dinner at a Mexican restaurant.

Here’s to hoping Sunday (today) is a bit more relaxed 😉 I have church on the agenda as well as some homework and Lola needs a walk!
