~Once I've decided something... I try to go for it.~
Sorry I haven't really updated recently people. Thanks for reading who ever keeps track of this blog! You guys are amazing!
So let me bring you folks up to date. Remember near the end of my last post, I had told you guys that I recently had joined the College Newspaper? Well I have an interesting story to share with you guys about it.
When I went to the college newspaper committee meeting, I didn't expect to be assigned anything off the bat, or to pitch ideas. I had asked to see a copy of the paper, to see how it was like. I notice they didn't have anything interactive. So I propose the idea for a riddles and puzzles section. They liked it and said I could do it. So, I had worked hard for three days, preparing this part. Then after I send in my rough copy, later that day, I get an email, saying it can't be used, it's too big... I told them I could resize it, but they say in the nicest way possible "can you find something else to write about?".
Naturally I would be mad, but I calmed down, and tried to look for something happening at college on Friday night, that I could possibly cover. But since this is a suitcase school, and most people go home on weekends... the pump was dry. Which made me frustrated.
It was that day that someone I believe was sent to help me in the time of need. I don't really care who sent me this person, I'm just glad they did. This person was Ysabel. After talking to her about my day, and situation, she proposed to me to go the Sock Hop this club was holding. I agreed, for this reason... I had nothing else to lose.
When I get there, I realized that it is the perfect opportunity to write something. Something that no one really knew about! So I spent all that night coming up with my article. Then sent in the rough draft to the editor.
Later they tell me to take things out, and make it less like a story/play-by-play, and more into an article. I have no idea what that means. But I'll try.
In the midst of all this fiasco, I got to thinking.
"wow, there really isn't a place for people to just submit the funny, clever, thoughtful, entertaining stuff."
Then, after talking to my friend, Amy, she said this.
"If they don't want your ideas, take them elsewhere."
So that's what I'm in the process right now... I've decided to make a general interest magazine for the college, or even a student run fun website. Maybe even both?
I already found a teacher willing to be an advisor, as long as I provide a solid presentation for this. I have alot of research, time, and effort needed ahead of me.
But I'm going to it, this isn't going to be one of those times, I want to start something, and don't. No I'm determined. I really want this to happen!
I have proclaimed my idea to many other people, some of them are willing to help, others thought it would be a great idea for the college. So I'm reassured that this isn't just a crazy idea.
The only problem is, I need alot of people, about 10 or so, to help, because these main ten people, will help me put it together. If I could turn this into a club, get more members, then that would make this dream much more easier.
So if you're From my college which is RCNJ, or if you know someone going there or is here, then tell them about my idea! Tell them! contact me at my e-mail as well.
Well I hope I have luck on my side for now...
I'm going to need it.
