This weekend, the weekend that I had such high hopes for actually turned out to be rather dull. Guelph Friday, downtown Saturday, but no Drake because of a vicious toothache [yes, toothache].
Oh well.
RANT:
So I couldn't help overhearing a conversation in one of my classes the other day. One of the A&E reporters was bitching to her friend about how it's the same people getting published and the only reason she got published this week was by default. She said that it's not fair and that she wants to talk to the editors about it.
WHAT THE FUCK?
You're writing is not going to make it into the paper if it sucks! It's not a matter of picking favourites, it's a matter of you're writing being too shitty to make it in, you idiot. If this is going to be your standpoint in the future, when you actually have a serious job at a newspaper, I hope you don't think your editor is going to slide your piece into the section on the basis of fairness. Seriously, grow up! Maybe this should be considered a wake up call.

The only wake up call you should be talking about is your own.. and it should say; Grow the fuck up alanna! Play time is ova!!!
I agree with you Alanna, so many people in our class whine and complain about things that are totally in their control.
If your article isn't written well, you won't get published. That is the bottom line. So people shouldn't be hating on others who have 2 or 3 articles published or whining because they didn't get printed. Step your writing up and you won't have to worry about anything.
It is true, some people aren't getting published.I am one of them. My problem is this, i am asking why i am not getting published, is it my writing, or something else. i ask them to give me advice on my writing then and all I always get back is "there is not enough space for all the articles written" alright, fair enough, i don't bitch about it to people, but then when we are told each week that our writing has to have a Humber link or else it isn't for the EtCetra and i am reading articles that don't mention Humber but just some band playing in Toronto,(it wasn't any of your articles by the way) it gets me frustrated.
