It is coming down to the last couple days of my internship and I am going to miss it. I loved working in the online video studio because the people are so nice and the work is fun. Looking back at the things I've done during my internship, makes me proud and excited for what's to come.

I've had a lot of good memories so far, but my main highlights have been being able to meet celebrities. The first celebrity I ever met was Hector Elizondo after only being at TV Guide for 12 days. When I shook his hand and met him I was awe-struck because it was like he came out of "The Princess Diaries" movies. Never in my life did I ever think that I would get a chance to meet a celebrity. So, as happy as I was to meet him, I was so nervous because it's not everyday you meet a movie star. That day I was also very mad at myself for not bringing my camera, because he would've gladly taken a picture with me. So, from that day on, I put my camera in my purse so I would have it with me everyday I went to work.

A week later, Masi Oka, who plays Hiro in "Heroes" and is also in the movie "Get Smart," came by for an interview. I have never watched the show "Heroes" before but I knew who he was, and it was still really fun to meet him. He's such a funny guy. Also, some of "The Baby Borrowers" came by for an interview from the new reality show. Another celebrity, Luke Perry, came in on July 3rd because he was promoting his new movie that's on the Hallmark channel "A Gunfighter's Pledge." I was super excited to meet him because I was a huge fan of "Beverly Hills 90210" when I was little. So when I met him and shook his hand, of course my hand was limp and I felt like an idiot. After the interview, he was getting ready to leave and I asked him if he would take a picture with me. I told him that I was a huge fan of '90210' and I had the keychains and everything when I was little, and he said that he'd be more than happy to. We carried on another conversation and then took the picture. After that he left, and I was still in awe that I met him, talked to him, and even took a picture with him.

My other huge celebrity highlight was meeting "The Bachelorette," DeAnna Pappas. I watched that show religiously this summer and was basically freaking out. The day we interviewed her was the day that the finale was on and she was going to reveal who she was going to choose. When I started scrolling down on the teleprompter during the interview, the Senior Editor started out with an intro saying "So you're officially Jesse's girl!" When I saw/heard that, I was absolutely devastated. I wanted her to pick Jason and I was so looking forward to finding out for myself on TV. Despite being devastated, it was still an honor to meet her, because I'm a huge fan of the show.

Throughout the rest of my internship, I've also met Judah Friedlander, who's in the movie "Meet Dave" and the TV show "30 Rock," Jo & Slade from "Date My Ex," and Christina Machamer, who was the winner of "Hell's Kitchen" Season 4.

Meeting celebrities was the main highlight of being here in New York and has given me so many memories that I can take back home with me and share with others. My summer internship at TV Guide, and just living and being in New York, is an experience I will never forget.

Being an intern at TV Guide so far has been amazing. I would like to say that I hit my peak at my greatest job accomplishment by working here, but I know that I have much more in store for me because of what I've been through and accomplished at TV Guide.

 In the beginning it was kind of hard to adjust to the different work style at TV Guide. I think that starting a new job is the hardest, because you have to learn new things and create new friendships and relationships. I've worked my fair share of jobs back home, but I haven't really had to start too many new ones because I work at different places for long periods of time. When I work at jobs I usually get comfortable in that work environment and tend to forget what it's like to start a new job. So, working at TV Guide in a big city that I've never been to before has been quite an experience and the ultimate challenge, so far, in my work experience.

The past nine weeks I've learned so much, but the past two weeks, I got to put my skills to the test. My boss and the Associate Producer were gone to the TCA Press Conference in L.A. the first week, and then the next week they were at Comic Con in San Diego shooting interviews. While they were gone I had to run the studio and produce three Movie Talks on my own. I was so nervous the first week I had to do it. I set up the studio on my own easily, because I've done that so many times. When I got everything set up and the talents were ready, I started shooting the first Movie Talk, which was "The Dark Knight." Everything was running smoothly until it came to the last minute before they finished talking. I noticed that the red lights on the backs of two cameras were blinking, which wasn't normal. I started to get nervous and I tried calling the Associate Producer because he was going to be available to me whenever I needed him, but this time he wouldn't pick up. I had to make the best and quickest decision I could in order to finish the next Movie Talk. What I did was stop them before we shot the next Movie Talk, "Mamma Mia," because wanted to check out the cameras to see what was wrong. The discs in the cameras were full, so I just replaced all three so I wouldn't have to worry about running out of disc space again. I could tell when I was switching the discs, that the lady was losing her patience with me and I could see out the corner of my eye that the guy was whispering to her to give me a chance. After I finished doing that, I proceeded to shoot the last Movie Talk, and the whole time I was worried that I didn't get all of the data from "The Dark Knight." After I was done shooting the last Movie Talk, I apologized to them saying that next time would go a lot smoother. I then called the Associate Producer telling him that the discs in the cameras were full, but he said it was okay and assured me that I got all the data. That made me feel so much better, but I had to put all the data from both hard drives onto the travel drive and mail it to L.A. for them to edit it, and it turned out that I didn't disconnect the first hard drive right so I had to go back and recover it. It took about an hour for to recover the data, but I got everything on the travel drive that I was supposed to. That was the most stressful day of my life because I wanted everything to turn out good and to prove to my boss that I can handle producing a show on my own. When they saw what I shot and put on the travel drive, both my boss and the Associate Producer were very impressed at what I did and told me it looked really good. Hearing my boss tell me that made all of the stress that one day completely worth it. The next week that I had to shoot "The X-Files: I Want to Believe" Movie Talk, everything went smooth and I was basically a pro at it.

So, being able to work under stressful situations and make the quickest decisions the best that I can, help me to do a good job and accomplish things on my own. And that is the best feeling in the world.

Googling internships is something that probably every student does, but googling internship programs and deciding to go through one, isn't. Well, not at my school anyways. Having to convince my parents that University of Dreams was a legitimate program took some work, but they approved of it and was very happy at what the New York program had to offer. My school, on the other hand, is still sceptical about this program and what I'll get from it since I found it online, mostly because they've never heard of it before. So, being able to prove that this is a great program is only part of the reason why I chose to attend University of Dreams. The main reason was to fulfill my dream of getting some quality work experience in the entertainment business and to also experience living in a big city.

When I applied and got accepted into the New York program, I was so excited and wishing that time would go faster. When time started to wind down and there were only a few weeks left before my internship experience began, I started to freak out. I had second thoughts about whether I wanted to go or not because doing this was a huge step for me. I've never flown by myself before and I've never been to New York in my entire life. So, I was definitely out of my comfort zone coming to New York. When I got here though, all of the staff members were nice and welcoming and my roommates and I hit it off right away, which made my experience from the beginning not bad at all. So what helped me to decide to go through with the program was how nice the staff members were on the phone. My assumption of the staff members being nice in person just as they are on the phone turned out to be true when I got here, which is a huge plus for me.

So far, being in the University of Dreams program has brought me to people that I'll know for the rest of my life. I've created friendships within the program and also created relationships with the people I work with at TV Guide, which will help further my career aspirations. Being a part of the program has also helped me to not be afraid to step outside of my comfort zone in order to do something that I really want to do or achieve in my life. It has completely boosted my confidence and strengthened my belief in myself.
