So, I thought I would keep you guys posted with my current professional situation! Right before Christmas I applied at several magazines for editorial internships, and I got one at Factio Magazine here in Chicago. Factio is a magazine that is updated all the time online and then comes out with print issues every now and then, most recently at the end of last month. Basically it's fairly simple...I get about 2 stories a day with deadlines, I do everything from home and just send it in, and then whatever they need...they post on the website! I've really enjoyed it so far. I've gotten to cover a few events, like a store opening and a fashion exhibit. The internship lasts until April, which is when I'm going to get a real paying job somewhere like a restaurant or a gym, cuz I need $$$! (If you would like to send me some you can go ahead and do that...haha...but seriously)

You can read my stuff at

There are a lot of articles to sift through, so I'll give you some titles of my favorites.

There are a lot more too. You can also go to http://factio-magazine.com/pastmagazines/index04.cfm to view the current Winter 2010 issue. My work is on many of the pages! I'll keep you posted!
