As a 24-year-old California native, I am an-ex business magazine writer, metaphysical poetry enthusiast, and a certified boss in the making.\u00a0I was an English literature\/classics major at the University of California Santa Cruz and wrote for my on campus satire humor publication during my senior year of college. I was also a competitive student athlete for 19 years, which meant I pretty much had no life all. Eventually, I competed for my alma mater\u2019s NCAA Division III Women\u2019s Swimming and Diving team.\u00a0Originally, I was planning on getting my Masters in English Literature straight from undergrad, but realized I didn\u2019t want to stay in academia forever. So, I put all my eggs in one basket and applied to BU&#8217;s College of Communication. Now I&#8217;m here. In my free time I enjoy reading, watching Bob\u2019s Burgers, RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race, listening to metal, and blogging arbitrary complaints about crappy corporate coffee shops, social justice, the patriarchal society, and monogamous relationships.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Check out my posts from the Fall 2014 semester:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\" dir=\"ltr\"><em><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comgrad\/2014\/11\/19\/how-a-com-grad-student-made-the-2014-midterm-elections-her-professional-project\/\">How a COM grad student made the 2014 midterm elections her professional project <\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comgrad\/2014\/11\/13\/behind-the-scenes-good-morning-bu\/\">Behind the scenes: Good Morning BU <\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comgrad\/2014\/10\/08\/i-survived-my-first-month-of-grad-school-heres-how\/\">I survived my first month of grad school&#8230; here&#8217;s how <\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comgrad\/2014\/10\/17\/i-spent-my-first-two-weekends-of-grad-school-in-a-journalism-bootcamp-and-i-liked-it\/\">I spent my first two weekends of grad school in a journalism bootcamp&#8230;. and I liked it <\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comgrad\/2014\/09\/23\/bu-com-celebrates-its-100th-anniversary-with-com-talks\/\">BU COM celebrates its 100th anniversary with COM talks <\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comgrad\/2014\/09\/15\/from-a-banana-slug-to-a-boston-terrier\/\">From a banana slug to a Boston terrier <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/extension\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Gina Kim and I\u2019m a first year Journalism grad student at BU&#8217;s College of Communication.
