I Love You, I Just Can't Find The Words

So I started this blog for my Interactive Media One class. I stopped writing in it as soon as the course was over. In truth, I just never really had a thing for writing about my adventures at that moment in time. I actually acquired a love for writing after I studied abroad about a year ago. This semester, for my Interactive Media Two class, I had to make a blog. So I decided to revive this one, because I really do find joy in exploring my surroundings.
The reason I’m divulging this is because this week’s assignment is to write a blog post about “the CMIR and my life as a journalism student at UF.” CMIR stands for the Center for Media Innovation. Also known to us news students as the newsroom. Also known as Weimer. 

Also known as my second home in Gainesville. So now I'm supposed to delve into a long and descriptive narrative about the countless hours I've spent in CMIR, but I just can’t bring myself to go into detail. I picked up my cap and gown today. I’m graduating May 2^nd. It’s been an emotional day for me and I’m on the verge of tears. Going into detail about my life at UF these past four years would break me down too much right now. I’ve loved every minute of my journey here and the College of Journalism and Communications is to blame. I love the lessons I’ve learned, the way I’ve been forced to grow as a journalist and as a person, the people I’ve encountered in my story telling, and the lifelong friends that I have made in the newsroom. I think the fact that I’m too emotional to write this, makes a more powerful statement about how much I love my soon to be alma mater and my life here.

It really is great UF. So thank you. Thank you for the ridiculously long days and sleepless nights I spent in Weimer writing and editing stories. Thank you for access to the NBC feed which allowed my friends and I to watch live car chases. Thank you for the jam packed days of reporting that forced me to have my first meal of the day at 4pm. Thank you for letting my personality shine as an Entertainment anchor. Thank you for the privilege of anchoring the 5pm show and always letting me read the cute animal stories at the end of our newscast. Thank you for the laughs and advice brought on by my professors and peers. Thank you. I'll miss you and I'll always love you.

Until my next adventure ✌️
