The Northern Star won the 2004 Associated Collegiate Press: 1st place, national Best of Show and best entertainment section of any newspaper in Illinois for the time that I wrote for them.

Enjoyable and exhausting, countless coverage features, daunting deadlines and incessant interviews. My time at the Star was a very unique experience. I never considered myself a journalist before I started, there are some that say I can't still, but I loved every minute, every article and every person at this fully student run paper.
