Early But Perfect Morning
The church bells keep waking me up early in the morning. Well, that and the bustling city beneath me. Somehow it’s been really nice getting up earlier than I’m used to, though. I have more time to read and sit and enjoy the city before going off to my internship (or in today’s case, studying […]
January 29
Today was a super long and busy day at work. I didn’t even take a break for lunch! I did, however, do a lot of fun researching and even got to interview one of my best friends for the magazine! It’s exciting being able to let friends become published, especially when they get really excited […]
Home and Homesick
New York is definitely feeling more and more like home. The streets aren’t very menacing when you know exactly where you are and where you need to be. I have found some “regular” hang out spots (Barnes and Noble, a French pastry/coffee shop, Jamba Juice, and the Green Cafe) and know some of the best […]
Learning to Live Alone
I can honestly say I am happy and settled in. I have been meeting new people here, but more importantly I have been learning that it is okay to be alone sometimes. I’m actually falling in love with reading once again and it’s wonderful. This morning I went for a run, then got ready to go have […]
One Week Down
My internship has been fantastic so far. I’ve actually been doing real work for the magazine and doing a good job investigating. It’s definitely giving me confidence for the work world when I graduate. Plus, as I mentioned earlier, it’s a long day and I’m hoping to get used to work hours. Time really does fly, though, […]
Goooood Morning!!!
It’s weird waking up by myself, but I’m going to make the most of the day! First by watching the newest episode of Catfish 😉 Then going to get some coffee and hanging out in Barnes and Noble! And calling some of my best friends, of course! I cannot wait to hear about classes and […]
First Day of Work
Boy am I tired! Today was my first day at work and it was definitely a looong day! I work from 10-6, so that’s a lot longer than I’m used to going to school. Everyone at Seventeen is so nice though and I am really excited to get to know the editors and other interns […]
Today was my first full day in the city. I think it will take awhile to adjust to the idea that I’m here for a whole semester, but for now I’m just trying to get my bearings and have fun! We woke up and explored the area for a place to get breakfast. My mom […]
I Booked My Home!!!
Finding a place to live has been a nightmare. Everything is way over my budget and many of the intern dorms are already full. I am going to be living at the 92Y in the Upper East side of Manhattan and couldn’t be happier. It looks very social and like it will be a very […]
About My Internship
I will be working for Seventeen magazine, which is a part of the Hearst Corporation. I’m super excited to be in such a newsy building! There are so many different magazines there as well as television channels like ESPN and A+E. My office is on the 17th floor (of course) and is a few blocks […]
