LA’s been cool so far! The classes are insightful and allows us to get an in-depth, and close and personal (okay maybe not close and personal, but 6 feet) look into the entertainment industry as a whole. I’ve gotten to know so many new people here, and I’m sure I’ll get to know more as […]
Coming from the East Coast, I didn’t know what to expect when it came to living in California. First and foremost, I surely can say I’ve learned that gas over four dollars per gallon is normal here, that “freeway” is the only word used in place of “expressway” or “highway,” and that the 90 degrees […]
I arrived in LA a little over a month ago to embark on my SULA semester journey. One overwhelmingly common theme I have noticed during my first month here in LA is appreciation. The more time I have spent here, the more I feel I have adopted this quality many Californians seem to have, appreciation. […]
This obviously wasn’t exactly the experience I had planned when I signed up for the SULA Program, but that doesn’t mean I’m not getting most of the same experience. While I still get some heavy FOMO, especially in Professor Ellman’s Capstone class, where we would’ve been taking trips around Los Angeles to different offices to […]
To be completely honest with you — I have no idea. I’m still trying to figure it out. I don’t think anyone really knows because if anyone knew, everyone would know because everyone would want to know. Does that make sense? I don’t know. I’ve spent this semester trying to figure out how to manage a demanding workload […]
At the start of my semester and internships, I was anxious to see how I would connect to others through Zoom. I wished I could be in Los Angeles, not only to experience the city but to personally meet my professors and supervisors. Now that I am nearing the end of this incredible experience, I […]
When I thought about the idea of a remote internship, at the top of the semester, I was worried that I wouldn’t be getting the experience I had always wanted out of senior year. What was there to learn through a screen? Would this help my future at all? After a few months at Doomsday […]
When I first found out that the Los Angeles semester was going to be online, I was totally bummed out. I worried that I would not get a good experience virtually as opposed to actually being in Los Angeles. However, what I found was an experience unlike any other. My internship is at Beyond Productions, […]
Being at home in Puerto Rico for the semester, I was a few 5,522 kilometers away from Los Angeles but a zoom call away. At first I, like many others, were sad to miss out on experiencing Los Angeles with our own eyes, exploring the city and going to events with classmates. However, while we […]
I am now about two months into my virtual internship at The Late Show and I have already been able to absorb so much information. However, if I’m being honest, it was a let-down to not be able to complete this internship in person. During the second week of my internship my supervisor gave us […]
