<p>I'm still a high-school senior but I sent my deposit in today -- would I be allowed to write for the Daily Sun while I was still in high school?</p>
<p>You can contact the sun, but there's really only 2 more weeks left in school. The sun doesn't really write articles during the summer or breaks, unless it is breaking news.</p>
<p>why do you want to write for the paper now anyway?</p>
<p>It would be a lot of fun, and I think I could probably write a better article than nearly everybody currently on the staff.</p>
<p>Er. If you're a smart and articulate and inventive enough person to be able to "write a better article than nearly everybody currently on the staff," then I'd think you'd at least have the intellect to do some minimal research and realize that the Sun doesn't run during the summer.</p>
<p>wow you are arrogant :)</p>

<p>I'm not retarded, dude; I was hoping that I could contribute before their last issue went to press.</p>

<p>Is it really so inconceivable that a pre-frosh could (gasp!) outwrite Sun staff members? We're not talking about the New Yorker, here; the Sun's contributors are most only ~five years older than I am.</p>
<p>You really have a way with words.</p>
<p>hahahahaha lol. In short: no.</p>
<p>Well, you might be a better writer than everyone in the sun, but a bit of modesty would not kill you.</p>
<p>most of these columns are just cutesy types...we've lost some of our better male writers...</p>
<p>i think i'd be good at exposing the false left/right paradigm but writing is so time consuming!</p>
<p>Yeah I agree with CALS2010. I've met some nobel prize winners more humble than the OP.</p>
<p>Hmm... maybe this thread should be send to the staff so they can do a thorough screening during interviews, making sure to look extra carefully for arrogance. (You can tell when people are hiding arrogance, by the way).</p>
<p>Why are you even asking us, anyway? Why don't you just e-mail the Sun in the first place? ...We're obviously not going to be able to help you here.</p>
<p>lol........</p>
<p>Hey guys, I know this is not the best of places to ask you this question, but, can I get my bachelor's degree before I marticulate? I have a lot of spare time over the summer, and hey, how hard can it be when most of the people graduating are only 4 years older than I?</p>
<p>Hey, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made such a bold assertion; it's not like I've read every single article that's been published this year. I wasn't looking to get into a fight with anybody (especially not my future classmates.) </p>
<p>I'm eager to work on making the Daily Sun the best paper it can be -- exactly the reason I made this thread -- it's just easy for me to get caught up with trying to "beat" the other contributors. That's my problem, not yours, and I'm sorry if I came off like a dick.</p>
<p>If you are interested in working for the Sun, its never too early to get in touch with them. I would suggest getting in touch with The Sun's associate editor as soon as possible, maybe sending in a piece at the same time. It could easily be picked up as a 'Guest Room' with a very unique perspective.</p>

<p>My son is a former editor of the Sun...I've forwarded your info on to him and he was going to forward it to the current editors. We did have a good chuckle over your modesty...check the last week's news at the Sun on current students and Pulitzers...</p>
<p>What "info?"</p>
<p>just this thread...I don't have any info on you</p>
