“This I Believe” Podcast – All of my smaller ideas keeping tying back into probably one of my strongest beliefs, that everything happens for a reason. Although this is very cliché, it is the belief that governs almost everything I do on a day-to-day basis. I don’t have one main story, but I have a few random ones. They are pretty straightforward, not very powerful but supporting and true.

Passion Blog – I would like to continues my Fears blog from the fall semester. My only worry is that I have only found a few more people to interview and that it will be hard to find more. But I still have at least a few lined up and really want to continue what I was working on. If I had to pick another topic I would like to discuss and analyze a season or finite number of episodes of a TV show, such as the upcoming third season of House of Cards or the classic sitcom Friends.

Civic Issues Blog – The first category I want to focus my Civic Issues blog on is Gender/Sexuality/Rights. As a freshman in college, I have both heard many stories about discrimination, violence and rape, and related controversies and experienced the atmosphere here firsthand. Some of the History of a Public Controversy videos my peers created at the end of last semester reinforced the multitude and heaviness of these issues today. I would also maybe want to focus on the Race category. With all of the research and work my own group put into our History of a Public Controversy video on Diversity at Penn State, there are many aspects that inspired my further interest in the subject. Perhaps I could even expand it to all educational institutions, our country, or even the world.
