Click here to start from the beginning. I found myself waiting inside of a fancy waiting room with plush brown couches and leather armchairs for one of the first of many interviews that I would have this summer. I held on to my resume and pulled my skirt down a little to look a little [...]

The Hollywood Intern: Part 9- Glendale
Click here to start from the beginning. I was standing in a long line at Starbucks, and sort of staring at the strange hippie who was grabbing a hot cup of Tazo Tea, when I began to think about my next move. I watched her leave as the ribbons that were tied to the halo [...]
Go Ahead and Exaggerate A Little
Teen Brain After watching this video the other day I’ve realized something about the readers of this blog and me. For some reason we all love it when I exaggerate (for the most part). I literally do nothing during the day except for going to work, or school and then I go home and hang [...]
The Hollywood Intern: Part 3- The Gas Bill
Click here to start from the beginning. One the second day of my second internship I left the office early to go to my job at the department store that I had way across town. I had to leave about an hour and half or so before my shift began to get there on time [...]
The Hollywood Intern: Part 1: Into the Oblivion of Space
Click here to start from the beginning. I was sitting at my very uncomfortable chair inside my nice freezing refrigerator-of-an-office at one of my two internships when I thought to myself, ‘what am I doing here?’ It just hit me like a ton of bricks.

The Department Store Diaries: Day 37
For the commercial part of America, and every department store circling the globe, the holiday season starts in September. During this time the store is stocked with ridiculous sweaters, fugly fur coats, and more overly-priced jeans. This also means that it’s the time for Christmas themed gift cards and charity. “Okay teams, we needs to [...]
The Department Store Diaries: Day 31
Things change when the sun goes down. Serial killers break into homes, vampires wake up from their naps and department stores close while locking some of their employees inside. No joke. When the last customer finally decides to leave the messy store, department store employees, like me, are locked inside of an empty store so [...]
The Department Store Diaries: Day 25
There’s something about a good sale that drives people crazy. The store at the time was offering 10 dollars off of every purchase totaling 25 dollars or more and we were instructed to only give the discount to people who actually brought the coupon in. People were lining up around the corner to use their [...]
The Department Store Diaries: Day 20
Try describing the color blue to someone who has never seen the color before in their life—go ahead—I dare you. Tough isn’t it? Well, at least I thought so. It had to have been a coupon day with the amount of people storming into the store that morning. Children were screaming bloody murder, and impatient [...]
