This year I decorated the tree by myself.
I frosted cookies by myself.
I did alot of things...by myself.
No, I'm not writing for sympathy. I'm writing to warn you about taking what seem like simple things for granted. When your mother asks you to stay home on a saturday night to decorate the tree, do it. You never know if you'll be granted that luxury the following year. Enjoy what you have while you have it, because its not going to be there forever.
Merry Christmas

I am what I am and I like it.
There will never ever be a time when I apologize for the way I live my life.
I believe in Jesus Christ.
I have good morals.
I make good decisions.
and I genuinely care about people.
It thats a problem for some people, oh well.
I'm proud of who I am and no one can ever take that away from me.
Ok I'm done ranting.
Goodnight.

Final Blog/Final Semester on CBU Publications ::tear::
The last four years on CBU publications has been quite the learning process. It encouraged m e to change my career direction a million times, which I am grateful for, because I know exactly what I want to do.
I started out doing all sports articles, and I quickly discovered that it wasn't the place for me. I enjoy writing sports articles, but not all of the time. I'm glad I was allowed to broaden my horizons this semester and write profile stories. It is more challenging to conjure up a story instead of being handed a topic. I really had to rack my brain this semester.
One thing I know I still need work on is my shyness. I've grown leaps and bounds since my first semester on yearbook, its hard to interview strangers. I'm not a big fan of awkward situations. However, the more I do interviews and network with people, the more confident I get. Now, atleast I know what I'm doing. I like to tell myself "you're a professional" over and over in my mind before I do an interview or something uncomfortable. That seems to help me overcome my fears.
I really have no idea what path I would be on if it wasn't for being a part of CBU publications. I've been given so many amazing opportunities through the journalism program. I'm proud of the major I chose, and I'm glad I didn't give in to my parents and just become a teacher.(maybe in the future) I can't believe my time here at CBU is almost over, but it will never be forgotten!
