\"Julianna<\/a>Want to know one of my favorite spot on campus? The StuViII mailroom. Random, I know. Well placed outside the StuViII mailroom (and at mailrooms across campus) is a plastic box stacked with unclaimed magazines. As an aspiring magazine journalist I lose my mind when I get my fingers on glossy pages. And so, I\u2019ve made it a habit to stop by the mailroom on a weekly basis to partake in some magazine freeganism. At\u00a0the moment the coffee table in my apartment looks as if it belongs in a doctor\u2019s office\u2013\u2013Scientific American, Entertainment Weekly <\/i>and\u00a0Teen Vogue\u00a0<\/i>\u00a0are just a few of the dog-earred magazines sprawled out in my living room.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a few of my favorite recent magazine stories:<\/p>\n

“Justin Timberlake: #Hashtag of the Year\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

GQ<\/i><\/p>\n

In mid-November I went on a New York City networking trip with BU\u2019s chapter of Ed2010 to the offices of GQ <\/i>and NYLON<\/i> magazines. I really enjoyed GQ<\/i>\u2019s \u201cMen of the Year\u201d December 2013 issue especially since JT (swoon!) was one of the cover stars. Amy Wallace\u2019s story is an honest and hilarious portrayal of Mr. Timberlake.<\/p>\n

“Succumb to Your Senses”\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The Improper Bostonian<\/i><\/p>\n

The staff at the Improper <\/i>(an awesome and free lifestyle magazine) compiled listings of Boston-area indulgences to satisfy our sense of smell, sight, taste, hearing and touch. They offer decadent recipes from a local chef and suggest luxuries like a chakras aligning session at The Inner Gym on Boylston Street.<\/p>\n

“Find the Bad Guy”<\/a><\/p>\n

The New Yorker<\/i><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a fan of novelist Jeffrey Eugenides (The Virgin Suicides <\/i>is\u00a0outstanding and Middlesex <\/i>is\u00a0\u00a0on my winter break reading list) then take a look at this piece of fiction that appeared in the November 18th issue of The New Yorker<\/i>. Sometimes a short fictional story is a nice departure from news and nonfiction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
