This Just In...

Today was my first day as a real Journalist. I was graced with a wonderful opportunity to write an article on an event going on at my school for On-Campus Hospitality Magazine. Yesterday, the Journalism department had a seminar?--I'm not sure what to call it, but all I know is there were five lovely well established Journalists, whom offered their personal time and GREAT advice. Four out of the five of them were Hofstra Graduates, and I was shocked by the low number of Hofstra Journalism students that showed up! This is FREE advice from experienced writers who have written and still do for magazines and newspapers such as Newsday, Elle Decor, Court TV, PC Magazine, and much much more! Okay, well back on topic, the Managing Editor from On-Campus Hospitality Magazine was offering any writer in the room to write an article on the event that was going on in the Student Center dining area and one of them would be published. Well, it seems like I was the only Journalist at the event! I've never written a real article before and quite frankly, I'M SCARED! This is an opportunity that just might aide me on my quest for a Fall internship this Summer, and I don't wanna blow it!

    I'm liking this Hilary Duff song, btw. Is it new?

  2. If you really want to write more, the Chronicle lets almost anyone write if its a decent article. You can write for news, entertainment, editorials, anything. Its a great way to build up your resume.

  17. 1. i wore that same Old Navy top just this week. great minds...you rock it way better that I ever could though

    2. CONGRATS! The article will turn out great. I just know it.

    3. Being a journalism student, I know that we never go to those things. It's a great opportunity, but it can feel like another class as well. Either that, or we just don't know about them. No one ever reads the department bulletins...lol
