My name is Kendra, and I’m currently in my third term of my first year here at LBCC. I’m studying Journalism and Mass Communications—something that continues to feel like the right path for me.
My last blog post was a Q&A with Monarch Bookstore, a local Lebanon business, and since then, not a lot has dramatically changed—but in a way, everything has. Life has just gotten busier. I’ve been working a lot more as a host and recently got promoted to server. I’ve also been spending more time dancing and training, which has been a big focus for me outside of school.
Academically, I’m still pursuing journalism, and I’m now in Feature Writing. I chose this class because I wanted to continue writing for The Commuter and push myself to grow in different styles of writing. I’ve had a couple of my pieces published there, which has been really exciting. That said, most of my writing lately has been assignment-based, and I haven’t had as much time to just sit down and creatively write or free write like I used to.
This term, I’m really looking forward to improving my pacing as a writer—learning how to write more efficiently without losing quality—and continuing to strengthen my interviewing skills. I want to become more confident in conversations and better at pulling meaningful stories out of the people I talk to.
My goals this term:
1. Write more consistently outside of assignments, even if it’s just short free writes or ideas, so I don’t lose that creative side of my voice.
2. Continue contributing to The Commuter by pitching and publishing at least one or two more pieces this term.
3. Improve my writing speed and confidence, especially when working on deadlines and interviews.
I’m excited to keep growing this term and see how much stronger my writing becomes by the end of it.
