Living a beautiful dream!

For the past nine weeks as a campus journalist, I have been living a beautiful dream. And now that this incredible journey is coming to an end, I can look back with wonder and awe.

In school, I was taught various writing styles but it was my experience at click4college that turned me into a writer. I experienced first-hand the immense hard work that is put in by journalists to give us our morning newspaper. The stringent deadlines that have to be met for sending in articles made me get over my habit of putting off important work and assignments.

My turn as the ‘Editor of the week’ made me understand the meaning of the quote ‘with great power comes great responsibility’. I learnt that the job of the editor is tough. I got over the misconception that mastery over the language is the only skill  required to excel at the job.  You need leadership skills and tact to get your team to put in their best.

During my nine weeks of life as a CJ, I  also discovered friends. I feel that we make a great team. Yusra patiently listens to my philosophical rantings, Parnika is the crazy best-friend that every girl needs, Rishabh has a great sense of humour, Neeraj is the ‘dependable dude’, and Apoorv  a fellow science student has destroyed my idea of a ‘science’ stereotype.

Last but not the least, sharing my experience with all of you readers turned the harrowing admission process into a pleasant joyride for me.
