Well, LA was out because I didn't want to have to fly, so Barnard it was! I have the best of both worlds: I can do laundry at home for free AND intern at some of my favorite magazines!\n\nI feel so lucky to be interning here, but it hasn't just fallen into my lap! I got involved with The Columbia Daily Spectator, the campus newspaper, in spring of freshman year as a copy editor, and wound up in the sports section by spring of sophomore year. Working at the newspaper was great experience for interning: the long hours are fun because you're spending them with interesting people!\n\nAfter sophomore year I decided it was time to get an off-campus internship, so in the fall of junior year I started working at a literary agency, spending two days a week reading manuscripts, before getting my first job at a magazine as a beauty intern at Harper's Bazaar. I applied for a summer internship at Time Inc. in the winter of my junior year, and wound up as a People editorial intern.\n\nWhile I loved working at People, a weekly magazine wasn't for me, and I'd always wanted to work at Teen Vogue, so midway through the summer I emailed Naomi, the online assistant, about an internship for the fall. I started hyperventilating when I got an email back asking me to come in and interview--and then immediately texted all my friends, of course.\n\nGood thing I liked the dress I was wearing when I stepped into the Teen Vogue office, because Naomi sent me to check out a party on my very first day! The party was for the spring preview for EDUN, Bono and Ali Hewson's eco-friendly fashion line. That's the fun thing about working here, you never know where you'll end up or what you'll be called upon to do.\n\nIt took me a while to figure out that the best way to get a magazine internship is the most direct way: email the editors. I know, it looks scary, but if you're passionate and driven, it'll work."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
