    By BRIDGET McCARTIN Editor-in-Chief mccartinb@allegheny.edu I am not a journalist. I know what you’re thinking. I’m the Editor-in-Chief of Print for The Campus. I’ve been on this staff for almost my entire college career. I’m an editor, certainly. But a journalist? I’m not so sure. Let me explain. I’ve been thinking about what I would write in my senior column since freshman year, convinced that when the time came, I would know exactly what to say. I would give all [...]
