THE BEAUTY OF A BLOG

THE BEAUTY OF A BLOG

(image courtesy of garyvaynerchuk.com) As the semester closes and I scroll back through my website, I started to look at all the blog posts I’ve written, and I’m in awe.  I never thought I would have this much to write about. When Gary Kayye told us he wanted us to keep a blog this semester [...]

WAIT FOR IT

WAIT FOR IT

(image courtesy of cnet.com) (WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD) The best things in life come to those who wait.  They sure made us wait, but they delivered. Avengers: Endgame...to say I cried is an understatement.  I sobbed. I also laughed, gasped, and cheered. I even clapped, and we all know how much I hate the people that [...]

THE HUMAN ELEMENT

THE HUMAN ELEMENT

(photo courtesy: Alice Hudson) People open up a window in to their lives for their story to be told.  With video, that’s even more intimate. Instead of reading that they shed a tear, you watch that person cry.  Video allows us to connect with one another on a much deeper level. While video can make [...]

REMEMBER YOUR PASSION

REMEMBER YOUR PASSION

This morning, as I introduced myself to a fresh group of prospective UNC students, I switched up my fun fact.  Normally I say that I’ve been cage diving with Great White Sharks, but today my fun fact was a little more mundane. I’m officially employed. The statement was met with a round of applause from [...]

BEST BITES ON FRANKLIN

BEST BITES ON FRANKLIN

(image courtesy of Offline Raleigh) I love to eat.  It’s always been a hobby of mine.  From my first birthday party where I discovered the salty joy of a potato chip, I love to try new food.  This is why Franklin street is one of my favorite places. From pizza, to mediterranean, you can basically [...]

4.26.19

(photo courtesy wheninmanila.com) 4.26.19 My friends and I have been counting down the seconds until this day for quite some time now.  Why is this day so special? Yes, it is LDOC, and yes it is also the day Avengers: Endgame premieres, but we’re waiting for something else totally different. It’s the day Taylor Swift [...]

DEFYING EXPECTATIONS

DEFYING EXPECTATIONS

Never judge a book by it’s cover.  Something I was taught at a young age.  No matter what a person looks like, or acts like, you can never really know what they’ve been through. That’s definitely true when you meet Kiara Brewster.  A crazy compassionate woman with an incredibly hard working spirit.  She’s changing the [...]

HOW TO SAY GOODBYE

HOW TO SAY GOODBYE

On Saturday morning I got up to take video of the Tar Heel 10 Miler.  I’m working on a package about the sweetest family who races for their daughter who is non-verbal and has cerebral palsy.  My friends thought I was crazy considering we stayed up way too late the night before, but it didn’t [...]

MY NETFLIX FAVORITES

MY NETFLIX FAVORITES

(image courtesy of Lifewire) Most of the time, when my mom sends me a text asking what I’m doing on a Friday afternoon, I’m probably watching Netflix.  It seems crazy that my sophomore year of high school I asked ever so hesitantly for a Netflix account, and my mom automatically agreed.  I was way too [...]

WHATEVER IT TAKES

WHATEVER IT TAKES

Why are you driving to Wilmington again? The question several of my friends asked me on Wednesday night as we sipped out of our He’s Not cups. I had already driven down to Wilmington twice for a Media Hub story over the past couple of weeks.  It really isn’t that bad of a drive. However, [...]
