In my Fundamentals of Journalism class, I was assigned to collect quotes and ask questions about two objects. My first object was to spark up a conversation about the weather with someone. I headed over to the admissions office and spoke with Admissions Coordinator, Char Jorgensen. Jorgensen was very opinionated when it came to the weather we are experiencing today. She said,

“My least favorite weather is when it is hot and humid because it is hard for me to breathe, so I am ready for sweatshirt weather.”

My second objective was to find a piece of gum that was not the color pink. To do this I stopped a group of girls walking down the heart of campus, and I asked them for a piece of gum. Luckily, sophomore, Lauren Rohwer, had a stick of Extra Spearmint gum she was willing to part with. At first my question sparked confusion in the group of girls, but after describing the assignment they were intrigued and willing to help.

“My favorite gum is usually the brand 5 Gum, but I spiced things up and tried Extra this time around and I really like it”, Rohwer said.
