Behind The Apron: UF's J school and all it's taught me

As much as I love food, I also love a good news story. I am a telecom major after all, I i didn't like news I probably shouldn't graduate this May and enroll in business school, but I digress. The University of Florida is one of the most kick ass news and journalism colleges in the country. Trust me I know, I'm in it (brushes dirt off shoulders.) They have given me a thousand memories and invaluable experience. When I was in the news room the camera and online aspect of news were two different things. Now  WUFT news and the Center for Media Innovation and Research or CMIR work together to give stories coverage on camera and online. I used be a reporter for WUFT, now I just blog about food, but I think I've gotten the best out of the situation. I earned my experience in the news room and got to go to some pretty killer places because of it.

Internships, news stories, packages, web articles all from the UF J school. I've been very blessed and you can be too! But remember, it's not all school and projects and papers it's everything in-between. Yes I worked my ass off to get through the trials and tribulations of hard news but when i didn't need to I took in the world. Work hard and play hard. Eat incredible foods, try some new ones. Go to concerts like this one!

Utilize your schools potential and utilize your own as well. If you can do that food's pretty much the only thing you'll really need to worry about, well good food anyway. Don't go eating ramen noodles just because you've gotta 6 pager due at 8am the next day. Feed you mind and your face kids. And try chicken and waffles, it's a game changer.

Until we meet again my friends.
