Yes that is right, as the title says I am still alive, and kicking. Some of you are probably thinking, “Well yeah…why wouldn’t he be alive?” It just so happens that there was a rumor going around campus that I was either dead, or going to kill myself over this past summer break. This rumor came about due to one of my last “View from Here” articles last semester. This simply isn’t true…obviously. I never had any intentions of killing myself or doing anything to harm myself. I am actually in a very good place in my life right now, and I wouldn’t dream of doing anything fatal.The reality of the article entitled, “Disillusioned,” was really a rant about my frustrations about journalism. Journalism had been a big passion of mine, which was washed away by the agonies of my semester as editor in chief and with the way journalism was progressing in general. I was and still am fed up with the poor reporting done by professionals and until a difference is made in the journalistic world, I will remain bitter about one of the most important jobs in the world. The article that I wrote was written from a place of disgust and unhappiness, but was never meant to read as a way for me to say goodbye to the world. Similarly, this article is meant to be a clarification of that article and to clear up anything that people were wondering; this is not by any stretch of the imagination, an apology for what was written. It is unfortunate if people were worried about me and I do appreciate all those who were; yet I meant every word that I wrote and I will not take back anything that was said.This will be my last article in this column but I will be writing continually during the semester, just not as editor in chief. So this article in a way is my goodbye, just not a permanent one, I promise.
