So, Who am I?

-

My name is Grace Walburn-Jones, I am a sophomore in college here at LBCC. I am working towards earning my bachelors degree in Communications! I want to work for St. Jude Children's Hospital and their fundraising team. I used to struggle in school, especially with Math, Science, and History but I could always rely on English class to be my escape. I took this class because I have always been intrigued with feature writing and columns in the paper. I am thrilled to see where I go this term! The idea of a blog is really exciting for me, it's a way for me to express myself without formal writing like essays in school.

Three Goals this Term:

1. I'd like to become confident in sending my work into papers for publication.

2.  I'd like to become a more diverse writer, not only doing essays in school but personal pieces that aren't meant for a grade.

3. Finally, I'd like to get into the rhythm of writing in my blog so that I continue to write in it even when the class is over.

In the past, she has put together a Valentine's Day event where they had poetry workshops with different prompts and loads of snacks! They have had a table at the campus Welcome Day in the fall, Spring Extravaganza, and the Pride event. This fall, Prieto hopes to put on an open mic night where guests can sing, recite poetry, or tell short stories. She want...

Review: "Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies"

     “Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies,” good or terrible? Trust me, if anyone would know, it’s me. When I was 8 and came home from school, I put my “Grease” VHS tape in and once it finished I hit rewind and did it over again. I think I broke a record for watching it three times a day that year. In my opinion, the new show, GOOD! Great? Not necessarily but it is still a fun watch.      “Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies” was released to the public on April 6 on Paramount Plus. I had seen the commercial months prior to the release almost everywhere I looked, Tiktok, TV, and even Facebook. They did a great job getting the show in people's heads.      As a lover of musical theater and especially the original “Grease" film, I was excited to see what the new show had in store. “Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies” takes place four years before the events of the movie and focuses on the formation of the group, the Pink Ladies. The show highlights the stru...
