Thank you for visiting my new blog. I created this blog as an online portfolio for my work. Here you’ll find posts from all the organizations I worked and currently work for, including the University of Connecticut Daily Campus, the UConn School of Business and the online magazine College Lifestyles. I’ll blog about my life and post pictures, links and passages that I find interesting. As a UConn undergraduate journalism and communication student, I will also post assignments I completed.
Please take a look around and leave feedback!

The show followed the main character, Don Draper, and the other self-titled “Mad Men,” and their work in an advertising agency in New York City on Madison Avenue. College Lifestyles™ will never forget this show, and here’s five reasons why you won’t either.
