Being an intern actually RULES, as it turns out, because it gets you free tickets to Oceans of Fun.

Ah, so yet another semester begins. As those of us in the real world adjust to life not broken down into semesters, those of you stuck in Stauffer-Flint begin another round. Those still at the Kansan count down the days until graduation, the rest of us count down the days until retirement. At least we all have the booze ...

Working in an agricultural community next to a military base actually rules because you get free tickets to Country Stampede but then you can't go because you get swamped at work because you haven't written an article in the two weeks following a murder court martial and then a senator decides to make a major, multi-million dollar announcement that is covered by your beat the same day the military pubic affairs office decides to finally answer your info requests just before the second person in the murder case goes on trial all the meanwhile you have to design pages and go to the saddest, smallest town to cover a public forum sponsored by the saddest, smallest state representative who wears too much make up, all this a day after you went out to drink jager at the saddest, smallest bars in JC and the paper's ex-sporto nearly gets into a fight at denny's with the saddest, smallest security guard who is too busy trying to pick up 16-year-olds in pleated mini skirts instead of realizing the cracked-out waitress just put a family on vacation right next to a table of sugar-packet-throwing, drunk journalists. — aks
Working at the summer Kansan definitely rules, because you get to sit in the newsroom at 5:00 on Friday afternoon wondering why you are the only person there and why nobody bothered to schedule Press Club.

For the record, it's not the saddest, smallest town... It's one of the better ones...

Being an intern rules because ... they take you to the Phillies game, you get to sit in the outdoor/indoor catered suite, and it's the last time in your copy editor lifetime you get weekends and holidays off. And you're union, so you make money. Until Philly city tax takes half of it. But living in the city makes it worthwhile, especially once you discover there are people your age.
Oh Neeley, you always did know exactly how to make me jealous. -PP
I'd like to amend my previous statement. Herington isn't the smallest, saddest town in the area. It's quite nice. I LOVE HERINGTON! — aks
