This was a journalism project for my college’s Introduction to Journalism class. I had to write a story on the school’s Fine Arts production, a formal event that takes place twice a semester where the college invites performers to play incredible music and students put on astounding dramas and operas. Pensacola Christian College freshmen faced their first Fine Arts last week, receiving many mixed opinions and emotions from upper classmen before the night of the performance. “I knew it was going to be better than a normal symphony, and I really like symphonies, but that was about it,” said Christy Piper, freshman. Like Piper, most freshmen at PCC had little knowledge about the campus formal event known as Fine Arts. Freshmen could glean facts from the chapel announcements, such as Fine Arts was a musical performance, that it featured the Harmonious Strings of San Paulo, and that the conductor was known for “getting the audience involved,” as attested by Rachel Moses during one chapel announcement.
Keep Calm and Dinner On (Fiction)
I wrote this piece for my college creative writing course. I took inspiration from an old character of mine named Bryan Sign and tweaked him for this particular story. I wanted to write a story that reflected my impossible trials of cooking in the kitchen. A fun fact that might be of interest: a good portion of the cooking failures in this story were inspired by my real-life events.
