As a student journalist for Pomona's The Student Life, I have been interested for some time in getting involved in student journalism here.
The University of Edinburgh's student paper,
Student, has been an Edinburgh institution since the 1870s and was founded by famed author and alumnus Robert Louis Stevenson who later went on to pen "Treasure Island" and "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." I recently attended one of their staff meetings last week and hope to write for the Features section over the course of the next semester. Coming from a hard news background, though, I'm not sure whether or not I'll be able to pull off the wit and candor necessary for proper feature writing.
Emerging just last year,
The Journal, is a growing student-led publication bringing together young journalists from across Edinburgh's many university and college campuses. I applied for an editorial position in the 'Comment' section and have an interview in the coming days. Unlike
Student which tends to focus on Uni-specific topics,
The Journal seems to take on a larger scope, including everything from student and Edinburgh-centric news to what's going on nationally and globally.

I am happy for you. You shall kick some feature writing arse.--This is coming from the positive 'tude Sonia always has. SHE'S SO COOL! haha.
Next time, you should try a Buck's Fizz for breakfast. I'm just saying. Ask for one in a pub? hahaha. Are they even open in the morning? Just try one.
