When you have a major as bizarre as broadcast journalism, it’s sometimes tough to fully appreciate the college experience. I long ago gave up football game Saturdays for work and have missed birthdays for breaking news.
I was discussing this with some of my good friends (and colleagues) Nina Moini and Stephanie Zepelin when we came up with a crazy idea. What if we set time out to have fun? It sounds so simple, but the goal, we thought, was to have fun experiencing things we’d never done before.
So that was it. We decided that between 4 a.m. work shifts and resume tapes, we’re going to make a conscious effort to enjoy what little college life there is left. I’ve never been a very spontaneous person and I hope that I can take this opportunity to take hold of college life while I’m here. Columbia has a lot to offer me, and there are so many things I’ve never done here.
This town isn’t done with me yet.
