My first attempt at a blog! I've been involved with my university's student-run newspaper for the past 2 years, going on a third starting in the fall as co-editor of the Arts and Literature section with a friend of mine. I've written quite a few articles for this section, mostly reviews of shows and some international arts and literature stories. I've also written reviews for the entertainment section of our newspaper. I really enjoy writing reviews and articles, so I've decided to make this blog a review of many different things - local businesses, websites, books, movies, art, music albums, even products that I've tried, and I may sometimes throw in posts about other issues that I've researched and feel strongly about. I realize it's not very focused on one thing, but I am an ecclectic person, and hopefully this will help me develop the skills to focus more on one category in the future.
I hope you enjoy the things you read here. I would love comments on my posts, including what you think worked well in the writing and what didn't, and any comments that would generate discussion!
