Live-Tweeting the Oscars

Tonight I'm live tweeting the Oscars with @GoKicker, a company that I'm a campus rep for. Kicker is a new way to deliver/present news. Our goal is to make news digestible, enlightening, engaging, and empowering.

Being the Arts advocate that I am, I think my tweets tonight will be both informative and hilarious and I hope you'll enjoy following along.

The Hunt App

I just found the best app for any young fashionista!

It's called The Hunt and it allows you to post a pic of any outfit you find and other fashionistas and shoppers will help you find it. It's like one big social network for all us shopaholics and I love it. I spend so much time on tumblr and come across so many cool clothes and rarely is it ever listed to buy the clothes I like. Now with this app I can get help looking for all the stylish pieces I want. Now I just need an app that will teleport Beyonce and Trey Songz to my room and I'll be all good. Happy Shopping!

Guess Who's Going To NYU

It's only been a week back on campus and already so much has happened. I was accepted to NYU on Wednesday for graduate school and I've been celebrating ever since. I've wanted to go to NYU since I was a child and my mom attended. Speaking of my mom, she may be the only person more excited than I am. She wanted to me to attend her alma mater for undergraduate study but I knew Penn State was the right choice. Now I get the best of both worlds.

Now that the week is over and I'm done celebrating,I think it may be time to go back to concentrating on this last semester. It would be a damn shame if with everything I have going for me after graduation, I lose focus and don't graduate. We're not having that.

P.S. Ariana Grande also followed me on Twitter this week (check earlier posts to see how much I love her). I freaked out for about 6 hours before I could finally pull myself together.

My Last Semester

After spending a month during my winter break working for Woman's Day magazine, I am finally back at school. I started my final semester today and I'm very excited because regardless of how things go I'm done in about 4 months. I plan on enjoying every day that I have left as a college student.

As for my internship at Woman's Day, it definitely opened my eyes to a lot of things in the industry. I'm actually starting to develop an interest in Public Relations and I think if I decide to go the magazine route, PR is the field in which I would fit in. I'm happy I survived. I went straight from a Fall internship at AccuWeather to a Winter internship with Woman's Day with no days off. Ironically, I'll probably get more rest now that the semester is starting.

I originally planned on not doing much this semester but I was recently offered a Contributing Writer position with USA Today College and that's not something a sane person turns down. I'm also excited to announce I'm interning with Mugglenet this semester. This is something I'm doing just out of fun because I love Harry Potter and this is as close to writing for The Daily Prophet as I can get.

Womans Day Week 1

I recently wrapped up my first week working for WomansDay.com. Working for a magazine is the final thing in college I wanted to do before I graduate. It's exciting to know that within my first week I can already say I've been published. You can read my articles every day as part of the Woman's Day Daily Buzz blog. The articles listed below are what I've written this week.

Be sure to leave any feedback. I greatly appreciate it.

The Semester Ends, Winterships Begin and Beyonce Still Rules The World

The last few weeks of school were really brutal. Fall semester got the best of me which means spring semester better fear for it's life. I'm trying to going to make Dean's List next semester. I graduate in May so I figure why not end strong. I started a wintership at Woman's Day magazine. It's really taking a toll on me but I'm gonna give it my best shot and let you know how I feel about the magazine industry when it ends. NOW ON TO MORE IMPORTANT THINGS!!!! THE QUEEN HAS SPOKEN...actually she didn't say anything at all. Queen Beyonce released an album this past week and didn't say a damn thing about it. Just released the album and went back to eating her veggies with Jay. Not to mention it's a damn visual album. So the woman put 17 videos on the thing. I had to delete so many photos to make space for that album. And it cost $15.99. Do you think I care? She can have some more of my money if she want it. The album is so sexual too. Bey came out of her shell. Like I seriously can't take it. What's more? I see the Queen this Sunday at Barclays center. I don't know how I'm going to act. But if she sings Partition/Yonce I'm gonna lose it.
