Media: Magazines

Magazines influence people around the world as it's their to be read, kept, and saved. In my earlier teenage years, I grew up reading many magazines such as: Seventeen and Cosmogirl. As I have matured through my teenage years my taste for magazines altered. My passion for fashion was born with a flip of the first page of Harper's Bazaar fashion magazine. Reading magazines have always brought my mind to another level among creativity and inspiration. However, my experience with magazines have been a love and hate relationship. Through the years of buying countless magazines made me turn into a severe shopaholic. Every new issue of high end fashion magazines displayed designer bags that would cost more than a college tuition. My shopping wish list became a superficial one as I wanted a designer bag solely because the pages of these fashion magazines were featuring one. The love in fashion that I once had before became a disaster, as I only wanted to spend my money on clothes that would cost a fortune. As years passed by, I became more conscious of my spending and started buying magazines such as: Nylon and Tokion to embrace not only fashion - but music, culture and art as well. Today, I read magazines for my leisure as it's also an inspiration for my career. The pages that are published in the magazines that I read not only inspire me but other women around the world. As magazines influence my life, It's my dream to be a publisher for one. My major is communications with an emphasis on advertisement. The university that I desire to transfer to are: UCLA, NYU, and San Diego state. All three universities offer my major, thus getting accepted to at least one would help me gain the best knowledge for my years to come.
