In November 2015, when Twitter polls were fairly new, I decided to use that feature to write a story. I tweeted options, and my followers (and anyone else who wanted to participate) voted for the direction they wanted the story’s plot to take. More than two years, thousands of votes and a surprising amount of audience input later, I finished the following story.

I discovered something ridiculous while driving in Pennsylvania
BlogThe hardest thing for me to adjust to while living in Reading this summer has been learning all the differences between driving in Ohio and driving in Pennsylvania. Simply put, I’m not sure that one person in the entire state of Pennsylvania knows how to drive.
First photos on my new camera
Blog, PhotographyAs someone pursuing a career in journalism, I’m always looking for new ways to broaden my multimedia experience. After receiving the new Canon EOS Rebel T5 for Christmas, I’ll be doing more of that than ever before. These are the first photos taken on my new camera as I try to teach myself some photography basics.
The Five (Annoying) People You Meet In College: Part 1
BlogOne of the great things about going to college is getting the opportunity to meet lots of new people. This is very fun and exciting until you inevitably realize that many of these people totally suck. Most college campuses have student populations that are large enough to have hundreds or even thousands of permutations of ways to be the absolute worst, but five archetypical people can be counted on to stick to the classic ways of being super annoying.
I was going to put all of these people into a single blog post, but as I started writing about them I realized that that might be too much awfulness for anyone to read in one sitting. So, like members of a football team determined to wear down their opponents one by one, I decided to tackle them separately. Today I’m focusing on the first annoying person you meet in college: the person who lets their clothes sit in the laundry room long after they are clean and dry.
This year, I live in a building with its own laundry room in the basement. It’s nice because, unlike last year, I don’t have to drag all my clothes through three miles of terrible Ohio weather every time I need clean socks. However, because it’s only for people in one building, the laundry room is not very big and there is a limited number of washers and dryers (I guess there’s a limited number of washers and dryers in any laundry room. If anyone knows of a laundry facility that has somehow managed to procure an infinite number of washing machines, please let me know. The point is, this laundry room is small).
