Hello fellow classmates! My name is Collin Horak, this is my first semester at SUNY Cortland and my first time writing a blog post. I am pretty excited about this class because I want to become a better writer, but I especially want to learn to write faster without spending so much time rethinking every word and rewriting every line. My major is in Communications, with a concentration in Media Production and a minor in Professional Writing. I graduated in May from Tompkins Cortland Community College (TC3) with a degree in Radio Broadcast Production. During my last semester, I was fortunate enough to start interning at a local radio station called X101 Always Classic. After my internship ended they hired me part time and I have been making commercials for them and you can hear me being the weatherman at night. I have had a side business for eight years where I DJ weddings, parties, dances or any event that needs music. My DJ name is DJ CoHo. Also, I grew up here in the Cortland area so if you have any questions about where to eat just let me know what you are in the mood for.

Welcome to our class, Collin! It’s great to have a Cortland-native here to help us all get our bearings. You will definitely learn to become a better writer in this class! The best way to improve is through practice, and there will be plenty of opportunities. We will also do a lot of peer review, so you can get feedback on your writing from your classmates. Glad to have you in the class!
You worked at a radio station? That is so beyond cool. I took a broadcast journalism class at my school where I ran a radio show with my friend.
Hey Collin, glad to meet another townie! I think your post was well written, apparently rewriting every line paid off. You had a great mix of information and humor which helped your post to flow like a conversation. In my opinion, this was all together a good intro post.
