Long time fast.

It is often difficult to comprehend how quickly time does disappear; let alone be able to document it all in a timely fashion. The changes is my work place are astounding. I am more thankful every day that I graduated college and entered the working world when I did. I wish all my friends who are graduating this year the best of luck in finding jobs, it is a gruesome time to be unemployed.

Every day journalism is going farther into uncharted territory. Let’s face it, we need to find some way to market what we do or we will all be out of jobs, but with the current state of the economy, it is harder than ever to see these ideas prove fruitful. Unfortunately, good, solid journalism is one of those things that are taken for granted, until it is gone. With the wide world of YouTube and endless people speaking on topics they know nothing of, sites like Wikepedia become the source people turn to. We must prevent this from happening.

Looking back, I realize I have grown so much as a professional and an individual in the last year. Every day that I look around my apartment and see the life I created for myself, I have a new-found appreciation for my friends and family, who supported me along the way. I remember how on top of the world I felt just a year ago, and while sometimes I still feel near that peak, the trials and tribulations of daily life do wear on me.

But despite all the turmoil, the sun is shining, it is beautiful out and I am deeply in love. Right now, I couldn’t ask for more.
