“I was probably a B student in high school, but it wasn't until I got to college that I said, 'Oh! This is what it's all about.' And then I became an A student. I studied journalism in college and that's what really kicked it into high gear for me.” SaidSchoolStudentsCollegeHigh SchoolJournalismGears Author:Giuliana Rancic
“I'm an avid reader, and though it doesn't always work out in terms of relaxation, I've got to keep myself up to date with current affairs. I was a journalism student in college, and I don't feel like I can relax unless I feel informed. When people say they can't watch the news because it's too stressful, I just think, ignorance isn't bliss. It's just another way to procrastinate.” PeopleThinkingWayFeelsI CanTermWatchesStudentsIgnoranceCollegeReaderNewsAffairCurrentsWork OutJournalismBlissRelaxRelaxationAnother WayStressfulProcrastinatingAvidUp To DateCurrent Affairs Author:Sophia Bush
“At Gallaudet, deafness isn't an issue. You don't even think about it. Students can pay attention to accounting or psychology or journalism.

“College football is no more of a minor league than, say, the universities' schools of journalism, engineering or music are. We can argue at another time whether football should occupy the same space on campus as those disciplines, but for now, it does. The critical point is that a coach is less concerned with preparing athletes for the next level than he is with molding them to fit a system that helps him win games, keep his job and, eventually, move on to a position with a more prestigious program.” ShouldDoeHelpingSchoolJobsMovingNextGamesWinningSpaceLevelsPositionFootballCollegeDisciplineFitConcernedProgramUniversityAthleteCriticalArguingCoachesJournalismLeagueEngineeringMinorsPreparingCampusNext LevelAnother TimeCollege FootballPrestigiousMolding Author:William C.

“Early on in life I knew that I was a writer, that I just wanted to write, I love books, I love literature and after graduating college, I kind of wandered around in Europe learning languages and writing novels and never led anywhere.

“From about ninth grade on, I knew I was a writer at heart. I had fantasies of being a great novelist, but I thought that seemed like an iffy way to try to make a living. So I tried journalism while in college, and really liked it. But even in journalism, I've always pursued ways to be somewhat literary, whether writing a column or writing books.” WayWritingTryingHeartBookFantasyCollegeJournalismNovelistsGradesPursuedColumnsWriting A BookNinth Grade Author:Kevin Maney
