TV News
If you've taken a look at some of my blogs you've noticed that I am infatuated with TV News. I thought I would dedicate this blog to share some of my experiences with different TV stations.

Senior Thesis
I am finally turning in my Literature thesis next week. It's a project I've worked on for most of the semester and I'm excited to see the end result once I finish the editing.
My topic was on Ron Arias, a novelist and journalist, and the changes in his writing when he transitioned from novelist to journalist and back again to novelist.
This project is also a personal endeavour because I am receiving my Bachelor's Degree in Literature, but I will be working towards a Master's in Mass Communications and Journalism at Fresno State this coming Fall.

Post-Spring Break
Hey everyone!
Spring Break ended up being pretty fun. The drive home was not long at all, and the week off didn't pass too quickly. I was able to hang with the family and some friends from high school. I hadn't seen them since Winter break so it was good to catch up with them. I probably won't be seeing them until after graduation so this was a good time to chat it up.

Spring Break!!!
Need I say more??
First off, thanks for giving me the idea Rodney. I appreciate it.
Secondly, I'm really excited to go on my last spring break as a UC Merced student. I'm not excited, though, for all the homework I have to get done before coming back (that's if I don't do it the Sunday right before classes start up again. Senioritis...I know.)

Living in Kern Hall
My time here at UC Merced is almost over. It's honestly hard to believe that in about 2 months I won't be calling this university "home" anymore. I still remember freshman year when I moved in to Kern Hall...now I'm blogging about it...almost 4 years later.
My Resident Assistant, Susan, really helped us all break out of our shells to attend different events that the housing office put on. To this day, some of my best friends here at UC Merced lived next door or right above me.
