The University of Texas at Austin’s yearbook, the Cactus, was a great way for me to return to my roots. At my high school in Marcellus, New York, I was the editor and nearly sole contributor to my senior year’s version of the yearbook. I will have to make a post on that soon as it was really a work of art.
For now though I will just discuss my job in the Cactus copywriting department. In Fall 2016, I wrote 8 articles. Each was presented as an idea, approved, and given a week-long deadline. None were submitted late, nor have any yet required editing despite going through at least two levels of revisions. I had to do research and some journalistic inquiring for each, but it was all very rewarding!
My essays to date are all linked here (Fall Commencement and Soccer Recap will be either added here later or in a later post):
The Foundry, Election Day, Trevor Noah, Longhorn Halloween, Softball Recap, Tennis Recap.
