Nathan Johnson | Editor Image by anncapictures on Pixabay The vast majority of students are busy people, even more so at a community college like LCCC. Balancing classes, work, extracurricular activities, and finding time to spend with the people you care about is a real challenge. With 24 hours in a day, there is only so much time to accomplish everything you want to do. Keeping your priorities straight, especially as we enter this fall semester, is key to getting the most

The days last a little longer, the weather finally cooperates, and if you know where to look, there is always something to do.

So my first suggestion is to find your

Maybe the smell of coffee or breakfast as a family member gets ready for their day. All childhoods come to an end, but our memories remain. Although some may fade over time, they are a part of who we have become in the present. Our younger days may bring us joy or sadness, but they should never be forgot

Delaine Popa Nina | Writer Living the life of a college student always feels like a rush: running from class to class, driving to work, or even trying to hang out with friends when you are all free. My world completely slowed down when I decided to add a new member to the family. At just two months old, Kiki, a cockatiel, joined our lives.

However, no one is claiming to reinvent the wheel. In fact, in a sea of Facebook comments complaining about how

Megan Gizinski | Editor Hi, everyone! It is with mixed feelings that I say goodbye as I gear up for graduation. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as one of your editors, and I would continue working on The Paw Print forever if I could. As I make my way around campus saying my “see you laters,” I would be remiss not to take this opportunity to shout out the people I will miss seeing the most.

While most students are cheering in the bleachers or playing on the field, a crew dedicated to sports broadcasting is stationed behind the lens. What began as a simple game of basketball being recorded turned into a high-tech program working alongside ESPN for hundreds of people to see. The sports broadcasting program began in 2021 when the a
