Northern Star April 28, 2021 In less than a month, I will finish my senior year at NIU, and with that, my last days at the Northern Star. Since I started at NIU, I have been part of this news organization. Four years ago, I started out as a nervous entertainment writer. Through my time at the Northern Star, I have since found my way and become the confident editor-in-chief I am today. I never envisioned that transformation for myself, not in a million years. I had dreams of running the paper, but those were just crazy dreams. Until suddenly, it wasn’t crazy. It was my reality.
