Update

A lot has happened since the end of Winter term. I am still on the path of going into the field of Journalism and have moved into Feature Writing. I have written a few stories that have been printed in the commuter paper. I'm looking forward to advancing my knowledge on AP writing style for journalism and improving my writing more in general.

My goals for this term are:

1. Include a photo in every story or almost every story

2. Understand AP format more

3. Break out of my shell even more

The story and Life of Qinni, the Artist That Impacted Many and Left Thousands Inspired

Image
Qing Han, also known as 'Qinni' Canadian artist Qing Han passed away Feb. 8 at 29 years old after a brief, yet hard battle with cancer. She was a popular and influential figure within the art community that pushed and inspired thousands of other artists to continue to grow. With her last post only being posted four days before she passed, fans all over the world were caught in a wave of shock and sadness. Han was born in Canada on March 20, 1990. As she grew up, her parents were rather disapproving of art, believing that it was a waste of time, so she was not allowed to draw at home. "I was never allowed to draw at home, but I'd doodle on my notebooks in class and homework sheets," (Han “DeviantArt Weekly Artist Feature: Qinni”). Despite this, she eventually went on to study art in college, which her parents allowed since it was fairly inexpensive to attend. She graduated from Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario in 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in ...

Humans of LBCC

My name is Megan Freitas, i'm 20 years old and currently enrolled at LBCC majoring in journalism. This is currently my second year of college and I will be graduating with my Associate of Arts after spring term. After I graduate, my plan is to cover editing or writing for online media sites. My dream would be to be able to sell my creative work and different forms of art on the side on Etsy. My greatest challenge in college has been being able to get over my social anxieties and learn to put myself out there, as I'm pretty introverted by nature.  In my free time, I spend a lot of time gaming, creating pieces of art in various forms, listening to music, and involving myself in anything expressive. Additionally, I have also recently started on the path of witchcraft and spiritual work. I make tarot reading, meditation and self reflection a part of my daily routines. I even have a blog I just started where I share my daily learnings. As for pets, I have an Australian Shepherd dog ...

Staff of LBCC speak on and look back on how technology has grown within the last 40 years

Bob Ross with older computers that were used 40 years ago Bob Ross, an LBCC instructor, has been working with the growing and advancing technology on campus for years. “I did my own programming to do all sorts of things, but soon saw where programming was headed. There would be simplification, ease of use, downsizing, distributed computers instead of centralized computing, greater applications to do anything, and speed. And it all happened,” says Ross. This can be seen in our world, communities and here on campus. Students are seen with iPhones, Apple watches, and laptops on a daily basis. Computers and the technology we have access to on campus is integrated into our systems today, although it was not always this way. Computers at LBCC were not introduced for education until the ’80s. Since then, we have expanded to having multiple places to access technology, such as the library, learning centers and computer labs. Instructor Liz Pearce, who has been working at LBCC since ...
