Week 6 Forum

Topic 1: (Wasn't there for Kyle on 2/10 class , but was able to be there for Samantha Swindel on 2/12.

One thing  Samantha said during her time with us over face time is that her job is very stressful, being a college student involved in basketball and other classes helps me relate to the stress.

Another thing Samantha said during her time with us was that reiteration of "getting yourself out there" concept. She went into examples like having to conduct interview in certain situations you wouldn't even imagine or want to put yourself, but when there is a deadline for the information you sometimes have to get your hands dirty.

The last thing that I took away from Samantha on Friday is that journalism for Samantha at least might not be her true passion. Like I said earlier is that it is very stressful, but can also be very rewarding when you put the right amount of work toward your article. So I guess sometimes in journalism writing you can hit writers block, but it's the drive that keeps you going and wanting to succeed.

One tip I got from Samantha is that journalism writing can be very stressful, and some things you can do to avoid stress in journalism is getting out into the world remaining confident, and also to manage your time as best as you can with the right preparation and practice (efficiency.)

Topic 2: Story #4
 As a basketball player, playing on the current floor here at LB might be one of the worst floors I've ever played on in my playing career. I want to interview some faculty about what LB is doing to get that fixed, or a reason why it hasn't gotten fixed or up to date with other school's gym floors.
