Hey Terriers! I can\u2019t believe how fast the summer is flying by! Don\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019m enjoying the time off, but I\u2019m definitely counting down the days until Scarlet Squad begins (you can find me running around Warren Towers during both move-in days!)<\/p>\n

This summer I\u2019ve been interning at the local ABC station, WCVB (that\u2019s channel 5 for all of you locals) working on a show called Chronicle<\/em>, a nightly news-magazine program. Before I started, I thought having an internship would mean making copies, getting mail and running for coffee. Boy, was I wrong\u2026 on my third day at the station, I went out on two different shoots with one of the producers! From staying late to sit in-studio for live broadcasts of the show, to helping brainstorm ideas for show content, my internship has been hands-on from the get-go.<\/p>\n

The last two weeks have been particularly exciting for me. I had gone out on a shoot a while back for a show about Food Trucks in Boston, and while on set the producer had me take a bite of a sandwich on camera. Turns out, they used that shot in the final show! So there I was, in my on-camera debut for a major network, taking a huge bite of a pita. Even though I was just an extra, it was so cool to see myself on TV! (You can follow this link to see my shining moment\u2014It\u2019s at about 3:00 in: http:\/\/www.thebostonchannel.com\/video\/28480458\/detail.html<\/a> )<\/p>\n

The highlight of my internship came one morning last week, as I was watching the show from the night before. As the credits rolled, I noticed that my name was on the screen! They ran a longer form of credits than they normally do, and all three Chronicle interns had our names included. Even though it was only a few seconds, Chronicle is an Emmy-award winning show\u2014seeing my name broadcast as a part of that was surreal.<\/p>\n

Internships are about exploring the field you\u2019re interested in and getting some real-life experience in a professional job setting. Although I\u2019m not looking forward to my days at Chronicle being over, I\u2019m looking ahead to future internships, where I know other doors are waiting to be opened.\u00a0 Next up, I\u2019m looking for a sports journalism-related internship to try something new! But who knows, maybe someday my name will reappear in Chronicle\u2019s credits as a more permanent fixture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
