Au Revoir

Since I am very new to the whole journalistic writing process this week has taught me a lot of how to format my article and the writing style to use in approaching an assignment. When I go back to school this camp will have definitely supplied me with the confidence to continue writing and publish my works in the newspaper. The thing that surprised me the most is that there are sooo many different types of articles you can write and I never thought I would like feature this much. I was also surprised how easily it came to me. The most difficult part for me was making the article sound interesting. In news articles you report what is happening and it is very straight forward but with feature you are reporting any given thing while making them interested in reading what you have to say. My favorite part was either going to the gallery to view Salvador Dali's works and making awkward interviews or just the simple things like seeing what socks Mary Jessica would wear everyday! From this camp I have learned that doing work in the summer is not always a bummer (not trying to rhyme). I loved coming to camp this year and I loved meeting everyone!!! I hope everyone has an amazing time for the rest of SUMMER!! Facebook Me!! Christina Tonti!

Here is my article on Ben & Jerry's!
Do you know Ben & Jerry?
By Christina Tonti

Boston Cream Pie, Dulce Delish, Milk and Cookies, Strawberry Cheese Cake, Americone Dreams—Desserts? No! Ben and Jerry’s!

This brand originated at the Pennsylvania State University’s campus creamery in 1978 and is still manufactured in Burlington, Vermont. The pair, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, after taking a correspondence course on ice cream, decided to open their own store in a renovated gas station. Since, they have expanded globally to many nations and have over 330 stores!

This store is an exciting brand that has also tried to help its community in many ways. They have given millions to charity funds and continue to brighten the lives of many who visit their locations.

Ben and Jerry’s ice cream attracts customers through their friendly design and vibrant colors, although, this is more than an ordinary ice cream store. Their eccentric flavors range from classic vanilla to extremes like Chubby Hubby and Imagine Whirled Peace. Each selection contains a blast flavors to fit anyone’s taste buds.

For example the flavor Caramel Hat Trick contains caramel ice cream with swirls of caramel and fudge covered caramel chunks all in one scoop!

While many are familiar with Ben and Jerry’s through their grocery stores, ordering in the store is a whole different adventure. If you order a single scoop on a cone, they load it up as if you had just ordered a triple scoop!

One of their hundreds of stores is located in the quaint Athens, GA, a college town bordering UGA. This store attracts many college students, some so much it might cause them there freshmen fifteen! Upon visiting, it is vital that you go try a flavor and then take a walk around town, convincing yourself you are burning off the calories.

As you can conclude, Ben and Jerry’s is not the healthiest place but it is definitely worth a visit and a guilty snack.
