I am saying this farewell full of reflection. The content that I have gathered is centered on gathering information that will hopefully help college students from small towns. I wrote this blog from my perspective as Rowan University student in southern New Jersey.
Honestly, there are many things that I would do to improve this blog; this semester was a rough one, between my full time job, nearly catching the h1n1 virus and getting quarantined and six classes – my focus waned between my courses and their responsibilities. I apologize for any discrepancies that have showed through my work. I have learned that within any blog that I work on, any freelancing opportunity that I might take up and any interview that I might conduct that I have to demand perfection from myself. I would have also networked more within my South Jersey community and much less in the metro Philadelphia community.
However, I am grateful for many of the journalism opportunities that have opened toward me, and the emails I received thanking me for this blog. I appreciate all feedback, and thank all the individuals that allowed me to interview them for their perspectives.
Trying to encompass all that is journalism from any perspective is a huge one. I learned that blogging is much larger responsibility than many recognize.
With that being said; I have come to the end of this blog – I however, will continue to apply the lessons that I have learned from being the author of this blog within my journalism career. I sincerely hope that you will as well.
In my goodbye, I would also like to thank Professor Berkey-Gerard for his immense help in helping me formulate my ideas and remaining a stickler when I took mediocre as enough.
You can find Professor Berkey-Gerard’s class blog here.

Thank you for reading!
