I used to always think that the world would have ended before I could step foot on any college campus.
I honestly thought that I wouldn't be in college, but I must say, here I am. I'm about to walk across a stage, shake hands with Dr. Johnson, go back to my seat and sing the alma mater as an alum of Tennessee State University!
For the four years of photographing and three years of being visuals editor of TSU's award winning newspaper, The Meter,
I've witnessed so much: from deaths right in front of Hankal to reactions after the announcing of new SGA officers. I've enjoyed taking pictures here at TSU.
I've taken pictures of rappers like Lil Wayne and David Banner, R&B singers like Chris Brown and Trey Songz, and Black legends like Samuel L. Jackson and Debbie Allan. It's been a joy to be who I am here on campus. I'm sure going to miss it. I leave with these words of wisdom.
Cara: stay strong as editor-in-chief. Just take the way I treated you as preparation for the real world and the craziness in the office.
Seth: I don't know what to say to you. Just keep bringing that comic relief in the office.
Carlisa: I'm still looking for that camera shop for you. Mike Hart, dude, don't sweat it! Just continue to live-everything will be fine, I know you know!
Greg and Brian: the old-old heads of the office, continue to keep a strong head up there! Ya'll are, dare I say it, the elders of The Meter. Ya'll know how to handle it up there.
To future members of The Meter: it is the greatest organization on the campus of TSU. Trust me!
Now…
TSU Greeks: (Ya'll like that transition?) Yes, I'm a member of Phi Beta Sigma, but I'm calling ALL of us out. We must get better!
It's sad that there have even been talks of getting rid of undergrad Greeks. We're messing up! We say that it's entertainment; however, the entertainment seems to be getting out of hand.
To all of you that honestly think that I can't stand Alphas, let me set the record straight: I DO NOT HATE THE ALPHAS! To all the non-Greeks out there, I just want to inform you that an informational is just that: an informational. Its purpose is to inform you about the Greek letter organization in which you are interested.
