Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve done it! Remember when I said I would be working with a social-activism magazine called the Pulse at my school? Well, the article I wrote, about Facebook and how I felt about it, has finally been published! I’m super excited that it is finally online and I would like to thank the Pulse for letting me work with them and write for them. Continued success for the magazine.

I would also like to thank all of you who have helped and encouraged me since I started this blog. Since August I haven’t had any real success getting anything in print (or in digital code, as the article is), so thanks for being patient.

I’m including a link for the article below. Please comment on the article, and feel free to check out the rest of the website and see what the Pulse has to offer. You might just find something interesting there for you.

The Pulse: A New Oppurtunity

Good news, ladies and gents: today, just barely two hours ago, I met with the Pulse, a social action magazine for students here on campus. According to their website, the Pulse “gives a voice to Ohio State Progressives, enhancing the intellectual and political consciousness of Ohio State students, and changing the culture from one of apathy to one of activism. With accurate coverage of current events in news and politics, as well as campus life, The Pulse will provide thoughtful analysis of important contemporary issues. We, the youth, speak for ourselves.” Yes, that is a long statement, but it gets me pumped just reading about it!

I learned about the Pulse through an email from the English department, where the Pulse was asking if anyone was interested in doing some writing for them. I thought to myself, “Why not? It sounds like the kind of stuff I’d be into, and besides, it’d be something I could add to my resume of publications.” I sent a reply listing what little I’ve already written, and got an email back. Today we met at the Union and discussed the section I’d be working in, The_______Generation, which is meant to talk about the many facets of the generation of today.

I’m super-excited to be working with the Pulse, and I hope to have an article out soon. I’m hoping to do something involving social media, it is pretty pervasive in our society today. I’ll write a new post soon when I get my first article out.

All for now. See ya next time!
