Since Professor Reppert says "Oh look a puppy" every time we have a dog in anything, I thought I would put some credit where credit is due. Here is a picture of my coauthor of this blog this morning:
I know a lot of people in this course. I have had the pleasure of getting to know them through the years as my peers and as my friends. There are a lot of new people in the class too, and despite what Professor Reppert might think, I do not believe that's a bad thing.
Recently, I have changed my major and switched my minor to Mass Media. Media is still something that I love, and I am so happy to see the program is growing because it is still something that is near and dear to my heart. Not only is it just growing with numbers it is growing with value. All of these new students are bringing fresh ideas to the table, and are going above and beyond with their research.
I get excited every year to do the classmate blog critique- not because I like grilling my peers. We joke around and we know each other well, but it is not often we get the chance to purely give each other praise for the hard work we've done all semester. Anyways, let's start the actual critique.
1. Desmion Owens
If you have ever met Mr. Owens, this blog is exactly what you would expect from him. Bright, colorful, but overall clean. With each topic he takes something that you would not expect and makes it his own. I really like his writing style and the font style and color he uses makes his personality shine that much more.
2. Justice Seymour
When talking about personality in writing, you have to mention Justice. Maybe it would be ... unjustified if you did not. Justice has always had a way of having his personality shine through (with every single post about The Leftovers. I guess Spiderman may be the new The Leftovers this semester). Not only is his writing style fantastic and funny, it draws people in. The interactivity in his blog is great, and will leave you with twenty tabs on open on Google Chrome three hours later wondering where you are and how you got there.
3. Sydney Wader
Last but certainly not least, I wanted to talk about Sydney. She is a transfer student so this is the first class I have had with her. Like I said earlier, all of the "newer" students in the program have been for lack of better terminology, kicking butt. Sydney is no exception to this by any means. Her blog posts are uniquely her own and always bring a new perspective to things. I particularly like how her blog looks. My favorite blog post of hers is the International Media Trends. I am still wondering if I can order a giant balloon unicorn or not.
