Being on this paper gave me opportunities I never would have dreamed of as a first year sitting in a crowded info session, debating if I should even apply.
We’ve managed to transform our newspaper into the digital era and provide news that the University and Charlottesville community deserve.
Our University might not be known chiefly for its creative side, but that’s something I sought to change through my journalism.
As I enter the journalism workforce during a perilous time for both humanity at large and the field in particular, I am reminded of how important it is to remember why I do journalism.
As I always say, if an opinion isn’t making somebody pissed off, then it probably wasn’t worth writing about to begin with.
My only real goal was to make one person laugh a little bit when they read my work. Some articles missed the mark, others were on target.
I’ll just say that students should approach their college experiences with a healthy dose of scepticism.
Even though I don’t want to be a journalist or have a career in social media managing, I wouldn’t trade this time for anything. I’ve never felt more at home.
Under close scrutiny, human emotions can be exposed no matter how much one tries to conceal them. From one second to another, a plastered smile can slide into a subtle glare or smirk.
Thank you to all who have been with me on my journey.
Setting my Cavalier Daily hat down, I’m flattered and honored to have been included in this mission.
I have never tried to be the one, and in fact, I dislike the feeling of pressure imposed on the representative.
Many of my favorite moments at this University are connected in some way to my time with the paper; the same can also be said for my hardest.
If you have an idea or thought, don't be afraid to speak up and let others hear you.
The paper gave me a lot. But, most importantly, it gave me a voice.
Today marks the last article I’ll write for The Cavalier Daily. It’s also my first.
The intrinsic value of the student paper to its student possessors goes unmeasured, but it is far more important than anything web analytics can tell you.
Thanks to The Cavalier Daily, for turning a shy and unsure caterpillar into a strong, confident, sports-reporting, video loving Luna moth.
Sometimes you will work more than 20 hours in a week. In those moments you will ask yourself: Why am I doing this?
To the members of the institution we think of as the best organization at the University and in the world: Thank you for the immeasurable work you do for this University.
