Today marks my second to last week at The News Herald as an intern. I've been here since August now and most of my time here has been spent learning.

Learning about tax laws. Learning about city council meeting procedure. Learning what the heck a millage is.

But yesterday and today, I finally got to start educating people.

I was asked to put together a story about local community meme pages on Facebook. A good 90 percent of the people in this office didn't even know what a meme was. Most people outside the Facebook generation don't know becuase they don't put in the endless internet hours that teenagers and young-adults do.

For those who don't know: memes are usually pictures of celebrities, cartoon characters or pop culture icons that have text added to them. The text either has to do with a perceived notion of the character, or sometimes has something to do with the scene from which the picture was taken.

It was fun actually getting to explain what memes were to people who didn't know. The thought of it is hard to explain at first, and even I was surprised that I was able to translate it so well.

It turns out that when I'm the one actually telling people what I know, as opposed to learning while I write, this journalism thing can be pretty fun.
