Television that inspired my future in Magazine Media.

I have always dreamed of working for the magazine industry, but where did those dreams actually come about? Growing up I was most often career inspired by the shows and movies that I was watching. Each of these shows has characters that are relatable, inspiring, and driven.

As someone that has always been a bit of a dreamer and overly passionate, it was natural for me to want to pave my life in that direction.

1. "Ugly Betty"

She is basically the white elephant in the room all the time while working at Mode Magazine but she wins over everyone's respect for her hard work, determination, and go lucky attitude. I personally relate to Betty's persona.

2. "The Devil Wears Prada"

I do not believe there is a movie that both glamorizes and exposes the good along with bad involved in the Fashion Magazine industry. As the saying goes within the movie, "a million girls would kill for that job," the assistant job that Andy just so happened to get without having any prior interest in the industry. This movie shows the way that personal work ethic can be easily overlooked, but it is always worth putting forth in an industry as thriving as this one.

3. "13 Going on 30"

"I wanna be thirty, flirty, and thriving," is one of the most famous lines in this movie. As someone that is constantly looking towards the future, this movie really helps me to understand that you should still try to be content in the now. The main lesson in this movie is to shoot for your dreams but still, appreciate your present relationships. In the end, the magazine is inspired by the real life that Jenna notices in New York.

4. "The Bold Type"

The newest but rightly placed on my list is The Bold Type. The women of Scarlet Magazine are fierce, motivated, and everything that inspiration to us all. Kat, Sutton, and Jane are the most relatable trio, each different but add something special to their group dynamic. What would a magazine be without its writers, social media, and fashion lovers?

5. "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days"

Kate Hudson as Andie is the type of journalist that will do nearly anything for a good story, including her personal dating life, but the unexpected happens when she falls in love. This movie truly shows that you can love your work and have a dating life too. In this case, the stories turn out better that way.

6. "Sex and the City"

Is there really any women out there that do not dream of being Carrie Bradshaw? She has a fabulous closet, lives in Manhattan, and makes a living off of writing in the greatest city in the world. Sex and the City definitely taught me to take a risk in writing. Afterall writers are the sum of their own experiences.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
