We've all heard of the big name brand magazines like Vogue, Cosmopolitan or Elle, but we don't understand fully what goes on behind the creations of the pages we read. The working day in the life of a Cosmopolitan editor is exciting, but fast paced. It's a cut throat industry, but one that I aspire to experience. In Cosmo, whether you're interning or have been editing for years, no two Monday's are going to be the same. I may not work there, but I have done my research and want to give you a bit of an insight to reality. So maybe you get to go out there in the world and get hands on footage for your next piece your working on or you could spend the day in the office looking for new hot stories for the magazines page. There is never a dull moment. You have to be on top of your game at all times and ready for whatever is thrown at you next. You have to go above and beyond to stand out. This isn't your average everyday office job. There could come a time when you are asked to fly across the states for a fashion show you need to attend or a piece you need to write about. You have to be able to go right then and there with no hesitations.

In college, it is best to have an understanding on how to write properly to earn the job in this field. People with Journalism, English or even some history in business earn high qualities with these degrees. This lifestyle isn't for everyone because yes, it is a lifestyle you have to take over. The Devil Wears Prada is a great representation of how harsh the fashion world can be. Miranda Priestly is definitely real and you can find that character in Joanna Coles, the editor in Chief of Cosmopolitan. She is known as "very intimidating" and not afraid to tell you the cold hard truth. The perks of working for a women's magazine, is that you can look forward to the extravagant holiday shindigs that take place. It's basically always a party, but for work so even better. Second plus is that you get to write articles that actually relate to you. Say you have a piece about relationship status or dating. You can use your past experience about that one awful date you went on where the guy proceeded to scream at the waiter and make a complete fool of himself. Yikes! That may be something you'd rather remove from your memories, but the world will find it comical and probably relateable. That's where a selling story comes from. My third personal favorite is the celebrities you get to work with. Chelsea Handler is practically a colleague of Cosmo she is there so often.

These are just a few perks you get to look forward to when you work for the world of Cosmo. So, slip on your high heels and prepare to change your life. Being a Cosmo star is like entering a new universe. You never know what you'll see next.
