school paper

if i relished being part of the high school paper, the college paper was the thrill. serving the same beat, writing and editing, mostly my own, as the paper only has a select team of student writers. those were the days when the byline provided the resolute high. the perks of that byline was great; camaraderie with the other editors, running after deadlines, interviewing jocks, making friends. that era before the internet, cellphone, digital television was bliss. reading was a great way to pass the time. my family couldn't afford a typewriter, writing was tedious, laborious. now i long to write in long hand.
