hello

I have wanted to start a blog for a long time, but never found the time or opportunity to start one. This summer I am interning for Us Weekly in New York, and soon after I heard the news I decided I was going to take a picture of something interesting everyday I was in the city--sort of like a photo journal. A blog seemed like the perfect way to share these pictures and my experiences, so here we are. A few days ago, my mom and I were brainstorming what I should title my blog. She was thumbing through a few old books and flipped to a page with the heading "everything is copy." For those of you who aren't familiar with publishing terminology, copy is the text, the story of a publication. So my New York adventures (and beyond) will comprise the copy of this publication. I liked the phrase because there are so many moments in life that would make great stories, but never get shared. I am doing this to ensure my stories are shared, remembered and hopefully make you laugh from time to time. 

Here are some of the facts surrounding my time in New York:

1) I am living in the NYU dorms

2) Roommate TBD (we will find out on move-in day)

3) I am doing an editorial internship so don't think Lauren Conrad (even though I love the girl)

4) My little sis in Gamma Phi Katy is going to be living in the city with her aunt and uncle only a few blocks from my dorm doing a film internship 

5) My best friend Katie (I am only friends with girls named Katie) is doing a political internship in DC so I plan on visiting her a few times

6) A few other girls from my sorority and family will be in the city or visiting 

7) I work at Us three days a week unpaid 

8) I am attempting to get a part-time job to support my J. Crew, Nordstrom and fine dining habits

9) I am leaving for New York May 28th and return to Seattle August 6th before flying back down to LA on the 11th for rush school
