You Can't Beat Journalism Students from NYC/NJ

Being a journalism student at Rutgers-Newark has one major perk: being right across the Hudson from the concrete jungle and media frenzy hub also known as New York City. The fun of it mostly comes from attending upfronts of multiple broadcast networks, tapings of T.V. shows, watching movies come to life, and of course meeting celebrities!

An entertainment journalist focuses on, you guessed it: entertainment. T.V. shows on CBS, NBC, MTV, and FOX, just to name a few networks, air some of the most popular shows in the country. They have a launched a business that challenges the stereotypes, address controversial news topics, focuses on "rich" lives of reality stars, and feeds into the savy love stories people cannot get enough of. As an entertainment journalist it is an individual's job to get the scoop about filming, update on the personal lives of celebrities, and recap the highlights of the latest "go-to" show of the nation.

This big city is honestly what dreams are made of. As an entertainment journalist, one must learn how to commute through it using the subway, taxi, or even Uber. Sure, the subway systems are complicated, but getting the hang of it allows travel time to certain events or filming spots will save time!



Learning about events is all done through social media nowadays. The entertainment world thrives online, especially since most celebrity drama, announcement, and frenzies are blasted on multiple forms of social media. Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, etc., are great sources for filming locations or announcements, updates on what the latest celebrity hotspot is, who's in the city, and where they may be staying.

Not only is social media good for obtaining information, but to also get your article and name out!


The big city is truly a place that will blow your mind. Being able to watch T.V. shows and films being made, see celebrities in person, and have one of the world's entertainment hub neighboring your college is truly remarkable!

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.

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.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
