HC: So you interned in NYC this summer?
BO: I had so much fun; I worked for a media company called The Blaze in the editorial department. I focused on researching headlines and current stories in the news. I also helped proofread some of the website articles and organize documents. The program was fantastic because it gave me real experience and responsibilities. I love the city life. It was so exciting. I want to go back as soon as I can. I actually am planning to go back this winter. I made a group of really good friends, all the parks and shopping was great. I really loved Central and Washington Square Park. I just love New York.
HC: What do you think you learned from your experience in New York?
BO: Really just how to be on your own. You’re in a completely different place from where you grew up and dealing with the fast paced life of New York. Also going into your internship and just working hard and learning.
HC: Tell us about your life as a dancer.
BO: This is my 12th year dancing. I dance ballet, contemporary and jazz. I currently dance at Dance Fusion Studios and this is my 2nd year on their collegiate team. My favorite performance was dancing in the FSU homecoming parade last year! There was so much energy and it was one of our first performances together, so it was a great bonding experience.
