Hey there everybody

Hi Everyone! My name is Carly Stephenson, and I'm a sophomore journalism major at Carolina. Someday I plan to work either as a reporter, director, or technical director in the news business. Because students in the journalism school begin their major in their second year of college, this is the first year I can take classes in the journalism school. So far my classes have been great and learning about technical equipment in the studio and broadcasting has been fantastic! This past semester, I worked with WCHL as an intern reporter during the week. Reporting with this local station gave me on-air experience and taught me how to write for radio.

Other than journalism, I have a passion for the performing arts. In high school, I was involved in numerous musical theatre and theatre productions. I'm currently in Carolina Choir, an auditioned class that meets four times a week. I'm also a member of Phi Beta Chi, the Christian sorority here on campus. Recruitment is next week if anyone is interested; there are two interest meetings in the union to check us out before things start!

I was raised in Charlotte, NC, and hope to secure a job somewhere close by after graduation. My favorite colors are pink and blue, and my Starbucks Latte order is probably longer than yours. On a side note, I have adorable 10 year old toy poodle named Babydoll. She's one of those dogs you see walking around in fashionable dog coats, but she refuses to wear hair bows or booties. My mom is the one who dresses the dog, although I think it can be cute.

I'm taking this class because I enjoy English classes in general, and like reading 19th and 20th century works. Also, it fulfills the Literary Arts requirement for graduation. I look forward to getting to know everyone in the class. Have a safe but fun long weekend!
