I’ve always been about UNC, especially as a potential college choice. But after shadowing the staff of The Daily Tarheel, I realized it’s a pretty chill university with many different opportunities, even if there are still undesirable aspects of the school in general.

I didn’t do any work, as most of my experiences were shadowing sort of deals, but I still learned a ton about the way a daily school publication worked (even though during the summer they just do a weekly publication), and the amount of work required for the students in combination with their regular academics was astounding to me.

The space is split up into different “desks” organized by subject, and the one that appealed to me the most was Statnat (state national). They said there was a potential job for me there next summer!
