Best thing about interning at PAPER: Meeting and working with cool and interesting people in the magazine, fashion and music industries. Also not having to be at work until 11 a.m.

The worst: The Stairs Initiation… thanks Blaire!

Fave PAPER cover: Joy Bryant and Zac Posen (December/January 2005)

Fave PAPER person and why: I don’t have a favorite because everyone here at PAPER is extremely nice/welcoming and they treat you as one of their equals.

Where do you see yourself in five years: Hopefully living in NYC and working in the magazine/fashion industry.

Fave free things you do in NYC: Window shopping on Fifth Avenue and wandering (aka getting lost) around the city.

Fave boutique: Seven New York on Mercer Street.

Fave restaurant: P.F. Chang’s. Yum.

Fave bar: Sip on the Upper West Side. The atmosphere is very chill and you feel like you’re hanging out in a jewel box.

First five songs to play when you set your iPod to shuffle:

1. The Killers – "All These Things That I’ve Done"
2. Keane – "Untitled 1"
3. No Doubt – "Tragic Kingdom"
4. Clipse – "Gangsta Lean"
5. John Legend – "Save Room"

This is your first time to New York – EVER. What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen so far? While doing some shopping on 72nd street, I saw a woman “pop-a-squat” and piss in plain sight. CRAZY!
