Beginning journalists at Chico State spent the semester learning who, what, when, where why and how to write local stories.
Journalism 60 students memorized the punctuation guide in the Associated Press Stylebook, wrote creative leads and read articles backward and forward. Then they put this knowledge to the test when each student was assigned to choose a restaurant, eat a meal there and write a review based on skills learned in class.
For students with extra cash who enjoy rich desserts, try an elegant evening at the Sicilian Cafe.
When craving a spicy meal, visit Gen Kai, where the chef makes conversation while preparing sushi at the sushi bar.
If you wake up to the sound of a rumbling stomach and have the time to enjoy a big breakfast, head over to the Morning Thunder Cafe.
If breakfast isn't your thing, there's always Big Al's Drive In, where the patty melts and milkshakes are cheap, but your date won't likely think you are.
For students who like leftovers, half of a Tacos Tonaya burrito may fill you up.
Another cheap and quick way to curb your appetite between classes is Hungry Hound Express, which offers a variety of hot dogs and friendly service.
Read more about these restaurants in the full reviews and decide whether you want to splurge or save your way to a full belly.
When dinner is over, but you don't want the night to end, stop by a Chico State basketball game, where the men's assistant basketball coach, Antone Curtis, will be guiding the team to victory.
Another after-dinner entertainment option is going to see a show at The Blue Room Theatre. The theater's artistic director, Joe Hilsee is also a professor at Chico State.
No matter what keeps you entertained, learn about what's going on in Chico by reading the local news. Beginning journalists are working hard to keep the community informed.
