Well brassers, it's time for me to ride off into the sunset on an awesome horse (with authentic western tunes playing in the background, naturally). I have reached the end of my editorial internship, and must leave my friends (and all of you faithful followers). This is the part where I blab about all that I've learned and leave some helpful life advice, so get ready for an earful.
During my internship here, I have gained a TON of experience learning about how a magazine is put together. From editing articles to writing blogs, my time here at brass has given me the skills I need to beef up my resume and make my transition into the "real world" that much easier. I've also learned a lot about managing my finances (who would have thought?), which will be extremely useful considering that I am entering my last year at Oregon State University and facing the prospect of being dragged (kicking and screaming) into a less-than-ideal economy. However, things seem to be getting better, and I will use everything I've learned here to help score a job after I graduate.
So, what words of wisdom do I leave behind to you? For one, listen to your mom (she loves you). Two, make sure to keep up on all of our new articles and blog entries! I know I was your favorite blogger, but you've got to let go and read some of the other ones too. I'll be watching...
Last, but certainly not least, have a fantastic year at school! Do your homework, go to class, and get involved with extracurricular activities or sports. Between all that, make sure you set aside time for... fun! Yes, fun. Have lots of it, because it's the only thing that will keep you sane during the school year (and life in general).
Au revoir!
