won first place in commentary for a collection of columns. Leah led this category last year as well.<\/p>\n

Grey Curcio \u201924 took second place in the breaking news category for a story about Eckerd College students who joined protests at New College, and Carter Weinhofer \u201924 and Ian Shepperd \u201924 shared second-place awards in sports writing for a story about micro wrestling, a professional competition where all participants are under five feet tall.<\/p>\n

The Current <\/em>editor-in-chief John Saxton, a senior literature student from Holliston, Massachusetts, took third place in sports writing for a story about the challenges Eckerd College athletes face training and competing in the Florida heat.<\/p>\n

Established in 1955, the FSNE has more than 70 members representing nearly all of the large and medium-size newspaper outlets throughout the state. The awards were divided into two overarching categories: professional and (college) student.<\/p>\n

Atlas\u2019s winning story originally appeared in Cat. 5<\/em><\/a>, Eckerd’s student magazine, and is titled \u201cSouthern (dis)comfort: Eckerd student battles feelings towards their home state.<\/a>\u201d These are its final three paragraphs:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

It is so easy to hate a place like this. It is ugly at first, with too much heat, unforgiving weather, and worse politics. It is easy to assume that the people here are stupid. They hate change, they hate progress, and a lot of times, it seems like it can\u2019t be worth it. It is messy to live here, and traumatic, knowing so many people who never made it past high school, knowing that you almost didn\u2019t either.<\/p>\n

You get sunburns on the way to work and rained on on the way home. It is hard to love a place like this. But then I watch black clouds spark in the sky just past my window, the rain crashing down as though my entire world has taken a deep breath out, letting everything go with it. I bury my fingers in my cat\u2019s fur and the thunder shakes my walls. It says, \u201cYou are alive. You are alive. You are alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

It takes work to love this place. But I was raised in the South, so I\u2019ve never been afraid to get my hands dirty.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Leah, who grew up reading John Steinbeck, Agatha Christie, Ocean Vuong \u201cand whatever is in The New York Times<\/em>,\u201d won for a collection of opinion pieces, including \u201cThat long-distance college relationship may need some distance.<\/em>\u201d Here is an excerpt:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

Every year, 2 million freshmen enter college, many of them in pre-existing, newly long-distance relationships and hoping to become high school sweethearts that marry at 25 and love each other forever. And every year, I, selfishly and cruelly, hope they break up, because I am filled with spite and hatred.<\/p>\n

At the very least, long-distance freshmen couples are facing problems they haven\u2019t faced before. Your boyfriend joined a frat and absolutely must take a girl from ADPi to their fall formal. Your girlfriend keeps hanging out, one-on-one, with someone named Shane, who she says is a girl, but do you believe that?<\/p>\n

Other columnists might tell you to talk things out, or that if you trust your partner, there\u2019s no reason to worry.

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t even be able to put in for the award if it wasn\u2019t for my wonderful editors and faculty who have long encouraged my pot-stirring ways.

I learned how grueling the process really is, about the health risks and about the precautions taken. And not just at Eckerd. It applies to athletes in Florida and beyond.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I first wrote the story, Professor Keeler pushed me to include more background information like weather patterns in Florida, so I could make the story more far-reaching than the Eckerd community. I know that really helped.\u201d<\/p>\n

It also was announced recently that Eckerd senior Nicholas Alexander Hess, a marine science<\/a> student and former Current<\/em> photo editor from Glendale, California, has been named Young Mangrove Photographer of the Year<\/a> for an underwater photo he took of a saltwater crocodile in Australia. \u201cHe\u2019s done some amazing photo work while in Australia,\u201d Keeler says, \u201cand this is a prestigious honor from the international Mangrove [Action] Project<\/a>.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
