Preparations

After arriving back to the place I have most recently called home, Rochester, NY from an incredible freshman year at Washington University in St. Louis, non-stop preparations began almost immediately for my upcoming summer in NYC.  From doctors appointments to shopping for business casual attire to completing paperwork for receiving school credit for one of my part-time internships, I can't say I have had much time for relaxation.  Luckily, I'm happiest when I'm busiest and the rest of the summer should prove to be equally busy.
During my spring break, I visited New York City in order to interview at several publications and social media agencies that were looking for summer interns.  I secured a part-time internship with SCENE Magazine, the style, pop culture and art magazine of The New York Observer and also a part-time internship with Spoon University, an online publication that deals with all things food for the college student.  Additionally, I will be taking an NYU class entitled "New and Social Media Marketing for the Arts" as well as attending open dance classes at Steps on Broadway.  As a huge lover of all things arts, I can think of no other place I would rather spend my summer than New York City, where I have access to the highest quality performances and museums and the ability to continue taking dance classes to keep up my ballet technique.
