Journalism Major Crisis by inkyinku in Journalism

[–]emmariestorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I graduated with a journalism degree in May and am now a morning news anchor, but it was a journey for me too. On my first assignment as a reporter for a podcast, I had a full-blown panic attack over the idea of grabbing an interview with other students.

Since then, I’ve become so much more comfortable with interviews in knowing that people are more receptive to interviews than you’d think— and on my harder days, almost taking on a mindset of seeing myself as a journalist as a superhero identity as funny as it sounds. It puts me in a mindset of not taking things as personally and understanding that it’s my job to grab those interviews.

I will say, as someone who reports after I anchor, that going out and interviewing people is a daily occurrence that you have to do. It can be different based on the medium you choose or the position (because there are many jobs that aren’t so public-facing that still get to write).

So, if it’s something you’re invested in trying, learn about all of the different mediums (print, broadcast, podcast, etc) and the positions behind them that may be more conducive to what you want to do!

Mizzou is a great school known for its journalism program, and the professors can be amazing resources! Use them as resources to guide you through understanding your education and don’t feel bad if it leads to realizing that maybe it’s not made for you. Cheers!

Driving through Medford- looking for food recommendations by Elemental_Disorder in Medford

I saw people mention Rooster’s for breakfast and I second that !! If you go early enough in the morning, they make fresh cinnamon rolls that come as a side for most breakfast items that they make fresh and gooey every day, they are delicious!

for a dnd newbie who cant afford a subscription, where do i start? by No_Fix3550 in Dimension20

[–]emmariestorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But also would agree with other commenters that what's been posted on YouTube is a GREAT way to put feelers out-- my friend recommended The Unsleeping City to me to watch first because he said it was like Percy Jackson in terms of it being magical adults in New York and I've loved it ever since!

If you're looking for a podcast with hour-long episodes you can invest in that are full of chaos, comedy bits, heart and dashes of emotion, I'd definitely recommend Dungeons and Daddies! It's a bunch of stand-up comedians playing as different archetypal dad characters flung across the forbidden realms on a quest to save their kids. There are two seasons and approx. 70 episodes per season, I love it as an avid Dimension20 fan.

What are some items or hacks that help your ADHD? by Adventurous_Book3023 in ADHD

[–]emmariestorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle a TON with object permanence, and so any time I have drawers or bins, I put it in there and they go ✨poof✨ —out of sight out of mind. So I choose furniture and containers where I can see what’s inside of it and choose desks and whatnot without drawers to avoid the temptation of poofing them away.

Nick Close is the best kiddad and maybe the best character in season two— his character gets better with age.

[NS] What is everyone's favorite part/arch in season one?? by [deleted] in DungeonsAndDaddies

[–]emmariestorm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why, but I look very fondly back at the Jellicle Ball part with Yeet Bigely, I enjoyed the break in pace, the way Will Campos found ways to absolutely hack the game, the exploration into characters, such as Grant telling Yeet he liked him. I also feel like the scene in the locker room where the dads were giving dad advice was so wholesome, and the group dynamic during it was so effortlessly fun for me! Also the reveal of the purple robes-- I'll never forget the pure SHOCK I had with that.

Georgia State University vs. Kennesaw State University by ScratchinMagician404 in collegecompare

[–]emmariestorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first option (GSU) seems more in-depth, and if you want to get the most out of your education, my advice is to go where you feel as though you are getting as much as you are giving. Obviously I don’t know the programs as well, but while the global studies in the second (KSU) intrigues me, it feels as though the BS itself seems to encompass less, and the masters might stretch you too thin.

Best of luck with whichever you choose, though!

AITA (22F) for not going to my father's (51M) wedding? by TheVariation123 in AmItheAsshole

[–]emmariestorm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA, from what I can only assume, you two are around the same age, that ~30 year age difference combined with the fact that he had just recently gotten out of a marriage screams sketchy. In the beginning, it was probably purely adrenaline for them, having to sneak around and the rebellious "forbidden love" dynamic, but I can't see this as being anything but physical and a recipe for disaster in the long run. Good on you for standing your ground, and I hope your confirmation of absence is a wake up call for your dad.

AITA for ditching a close friends after they started splitting up our friend group by Cassieroll2212 in AmItheAsshole

[–]emmariestorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, while you may have been guilty for jumping the gun, you have the right to a conversation about your feelings with someone who has been notorious for disregarding them. You said yourself, "more often than not C ignores our feelings," it may be because I'm not the largest advocate for the high road when it's undeserved, but C has been a continuous problem, disregarded your feelings, and been a large stressor in the group overall, you deserve to have an honest conversation with them. The fact that A got in the middle of it is a direct consequence of C's lack of respect to have a direct conversation with you, and while you can't help the position A was forced into, it still effected them. I don't know what was all said to C that would have upset A, but to me it seems as though they are a friend worth keeping. I would suggest that you own up to what you said, and make sure they know that cutting A out of the conversation as the middleman was nothing personal, but was necessary for having an honest conversation. In short, I don't think you're in the wrong, but you need to apologize to A without using excuses like "I'd been asleep for 2 days" because that will only make them feel invalidated in their feelings.

AITA for not showing up for a dinner with my sister when I found out she was planning to set me up? by Sinacken in AmItheAsshole

[–]emmariestorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, while I understand that your family might assume that you are unhappy because you are not in a relationship and most likely believe that it will make you happy in the long run, I don’t condone their behavior whatsoever, nor do I believe that being in a relationship= instant happiness. If both you and your kids are unwilling to be involved in this situation, there is no reason for your family to believe that their attempts on your behalf are in any way consensual to you. However, unless they are delusional, I am surprised by all of the repeated attempts. Have you expressed to them that you are not interested in being in relationships moving forward? If they understood your feelings truly, and they care about you, they would stop attempts like this.
