For the sake of this job I lost sleep, peace on the weekends and even a longest-lasting friendship. This was the fall semester of online classes and a relentless, national news cycle where everyday I felt like I was drowning. My junior year, I took on a new challenge as the University desk editor. Those early days were like how Taylor felt in “Enchanted.” So easy to romanticize and idealize. I went into the office on my days off and stayed until the end of the night playing games like Catch Phrase and Anomia. That day was a fairytale.ĭuring my sophomore year, I became an assistant editor for the arts and culture desk (may she rest in peace.) Everyday felt shimmery and beautiful and fun. When I first walked up the black metal staircase, clanging with every steep, steep step, I thought that I was about to transcend my television screen and turn into Rory Gilmore, the fictional character I had projected so much of my life onto. I was voted biggest Taylor Swift fan in the office last year, so it’s only fitting that I explain these last four years through her songs. It’s a workplace environment that demands your best 100 percent of the time.Īnd yes, toxic feels like an appropriate word for it. But the thought of leaving this place makes me cry. So many ideas that never left my notebook and so many ambitions that never came to fruition.
There are so many days I failed, and so many projects I didn’t see through. There were times when I felt like I couldn’t go on anymore, professionally and personally. In my career so far, I’ve struggled with being a journalist first and a student second during a global pandemic. Minimal support? While our general manager Courtney Mitchell is always there for a helping hand or piggy back ride when it feels like we can’t forge on anymore - with the mounting mental health crises and increasing pressure - check. No pay? Check, for staff and senior writers. Let’s just see how this all lines up with The Daily Tar Heel:
