1. Leaving the office at 2:30 a.m. and feeling a piece of your soul leave your body.

2. There's nothing like seeing the paper published after some sweat and a few tears (literally).

3. Laying out two week's worth of news in two nights.

4. Using a version of InDesign that may be older than you are.

5. When you see people actually read what you write and like it.

6. Working in a musty office surrounded by newspapers in the depths of a building on campus.

7. Getting 20 emails from your paper advisor about covering a big event or campus crisis before other news outlets get to it.

8. Running out of paper and/or ink during a layout night.

9. When your head hurts and your eyes water from just looking at how the alumni had to layout the newspaper (circa 1994).

10. You've become a pro at interviews, taking notes and writing stories.

11. When your professor or editor assigns you a story no one else wanted to take.

12. It's time consuming but so worth it when layout is over (until next issue).
