I worked at The State Hornet newspaper for two years, the second of which I was Editor in Chief. The Hornet permanently changed my life, and it was there that I realized I wanted to become a journalist. Along the way, I learned a lot, I grew a lot, and I met a lot of amazing people. These are some of my memories.

This page will be changing as I scan and organize more photos. While
it's under construction, I've placed the Associated Students, Inc. banquet
photos below, though they will eventually move to their own page.
It was the end-of-
the-year ASI banquet,
so we dressed up.
They actually invited
a few Hornet people,
so we went.
Defintion of banquet:
"Food, endless
awards, dancing."
Josh wrote a column
about 'selling out,'
but he still went.
Josh and Russ both
sported suits with
tied ties.
Josh enjoyed dancing,
and people enjoyed
watching.
Russ got into it, too.
(Yes, we had a
'Hornet' section.)
Of course, the Hornet
crew didn't take over
the WHOLE floor...
...But we certainly
weren't wallflowers,
either.
People paused their
dancing to pose
for pictures.
But others (such
as Hans) were
caught off guard.
See? Hornet people
don't always appear
to be weird.
The ASI president-
elect was in
attendance, naturally.
Eric and Veronica
smiled, but Eric
was planning...
...to gang up on Josh
and throw him in
the air. Twice.
Josh was mildly
shocked, and his hair
got messed up.
Josh was still a bit
unsettled by the
throwing incident.
But at one point
he was smiling for
a picture.
And later, he was
back to being
'normal' Josh.
He even returned to
dancing. But it
wasn't over yet.
Art tried to strangle
Josh before he
could leave.
Was that when
Mohamed tried to tell
Josh something?
Before we left,
Nessa and I took
one more picture.
And Russ licked Josh.
Yes, it was a good
banquet.
