My jellybean is fairly small, about the same size as my finger nail. It’s pink and shiny, there’s like a shimmer to it. There are a few scattered purple spots on it and it looks like it has a yellow undertone but I’m not sure. It smells pretty sweet, like any other candy but it doesn’t smell like anything specific. It’s shaped like a fat bean. It feels pretty hard, like you’d have to squeeze pretty hard to squish it. It kind of tastes like fruit loops but on steroids. Once you bite into it it kinda of dissolves into your mouth and has a grainy sort of texture. Pretty nasty.

I think I'm definitely going to try and email parents of the staff writers with praise. Also the cheesy awards would be really cute.

"A Texas law prohibiting most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy went into effect on Wednesday after the Supreme Court failed to act on a request to block it, ushering in the most restrictive abortion law in the nation and prompting clinics in the state to turn away women seeking the procedure."- I like how straight-forward this lead is. It's very specific and summarizes what's going on really simply.

"About nine years ago, as thousands of Syrians fled the violence in their country for neighboring Lebanon, the novelist Rabih Alameddine visited some of the refugee camps to speak with them. He didn’t know what would come of it, but he had experience listening to people in extremis — including dying friends during the AIDS epidemic in San Francisco — and he knew the power of the act. At the very least, he thought, he could to talk to the kids about soccer." I love anecdote leads and this is what it is.

As student journalists, a lot of the stuff we put out are fun or entertaining or things about our school. But there are times where we're going to want to put out something that's going on in country and state politics. If we didn't have freedom of the press then a lot of the opinions of out student body wouldn't be published. It's important that as young adult we can freely express our thoughts, opinions and beliefs about the world we live in and the freedom of the press allows us to do that.

The first thing I noticed about this spread was obviously the photos. And while I like the spread as a whole I'm not a huge fan of the placement of the photos. I don't like that there are two smaller photos overlapping the main photo. I like including the smaller photos I'm just not sure I like them where they are. I really liked the headline font and overall it's a really nice spread. It looks very organized and clean.

# data[].attributes.body
I really loved this cover. I think the photo is beautiful and the titles are really nice to look at at. The only thing that is bothering me is that the first headline that says "On campus assault," the "on campus" is slightly off alignment. I'm not sure if it was intentional and I know it's not too obvious but it is bothering me a little bit.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not a huge fan of this cover. I think individually the photos are great but they're all similar in size and I don't think they fit well to be on a cover together. Also unless the only thing in the whole magazine was about the protests then I think they should've included a few more stories to put on the cover just so the reader would be able to get a bigger idea of what's inside. And lastly, I'm not a fan of how the title looks, I don't really like the font or the format of the title.

# data[].attributes.body
I think one thing that makes a design look good is the font of the headlines. If the font is hard to read or just not really appealing it can ruin the whole page. Another thing is how well the colors go together, the colors should compliment each other and if they don't the whole page will not look good. And lastly the formatting of the text and photos. If the photo is vertical it's important that the text flows around it nicely. A well organized page with nice fonts and nice colors are a few things that will lead to a nice looking design.

A group of toys go neglected after their owner grows up and through their plan of gaining attention they end up having to say goodbye to him forever.

“Now Woody, he’s been my pal for as long as I can remember.” toy owner Andy said. "He’s brave, like a cowboy should be. And kind, and smart. But the thing that makes Woody special, is he’ll never give up on you, ever. He’ll be there for you, no matter what.”

After their plan backfires, the group of toys, lead by Woody, were forced to go through many frightening trials. They suffered torture at the hands of toddlers, betrayal from a strawberry scented bear, the wrath of fire and eventually the hardest of goodbyes. While these were frightening adventures, through them they were able to form strong bonds with fellow toys, and even find a new owner.

fiesta friday- photos of people playing the games that are out there or just a photo of a group of friends sitting on the blue chairs just hanging out. Another possible one would be how the first fiesta friday of the year there was the club tables and then today the vote registration. Those would've been good photos too.

Halloween Kills comes out on the 15th. Also on the 15th there's going to be a national walk out or something. Employees around the country are going to miss work and people are not going to spend money all day. I heard about this a few months ago and haven't heard much since but it was pretty big when I last heard about it so I don't think it'll be too hard to find information.

I'm actually pretty proud of myself. I feel like there was rarely a time this mester that I wasn't doing something in this class. I was able to make a video for Student Reporting Labs, I wrote a story with Jessica and I designed my pages really nicely. I will say that I wish I got more creative with my spreads but I also know that being features editor doesn't leave a lot of room for creative spreads. The one thing I wish I accomplished more of this mester was getting closer to the staff writers. While I was able to make somewhat of a friendship with Alan, he's the only staff writer I was able to do that with. My goals for next semester is maybe to write a bit more. While I have enjoyed being an editor so far, I do miss writing stories. I want to gain a bit more confidence in my editing skills, I feel like I was always second-guessing myself when I didn't need to be. And I really do want to try and befriend the editors, I think that's my biggest goal.
