Name: Samantha Morgan Curry, but please, do call me Sam.Hometown: Lodi, New JerseyMajor: Communication Arts, Creative Media ConcentrationTell us something that people don’t know about you: I once had a dream that Conan O’Brien died, and I woke up crying.

– What made you choose MMC?I chose Marymount because it’s in the heart of Manhattan, and if you want to work in late night television like I do, there’s really no better place. Okay LA would’ve been good for that too, but I don’t like warm weather.

– Any advice for new MMC students?I would tell them to take advantage of this city while they’re here! There’s always something to do, and most of the time you can do it for little or no money at all. My favorite thing to do is to head on a downtown 6 train on a Wednesday night and see free improv comedy at The People’s Improv Theater. It’s always a good time.

-Fave spot on campus?My favorite spot on campus is the bench in front of the intern board on the fifth floor of Nugent. You can typically find me and my squad posted up there on the daily.

– Have you had any jobs and/or internships during your time at MMC?I’ve had four internships since I started at Marymount. Sleep No More NYC, Second Stage Theater, The Upright Citizens Brigade, and The Rachael Ray Show. And I’m working on getting a fifth one! Fingers crossed!! Exclamation points!!!

What’s been your favorite memory while at MMC?My favorite memory is from like three weeks ago at a Creative Media Concentration meeting when I got free pizza and I spilt Diet Sierra Mist all over the floor.

– Favorite class at MMC?Web Workshop with Edrex Fontanilla because I met some of the greatest people in that class and I loved going to it every week. Also because making websites is totally cool man!!!

Favorites:NYC Spot: Rockefeller Center is not only my favorite NYC spot, but my favorite spot in the entire world. I want to work there one day, so I often go there to sit and contemplate human existence.  Musician/Band: Drake, forever and always. We’re getting married one day, and you’re all invited.Restaurant/Food: Probably Blockheads. I mean, who doesn’t love burritos the size of a small child and 4 dollar margaritas?TV Show: Currently, it’s a tie between Louie and Broad City. Don’t make me choose between them. Don’t you dare.Movie: My favorite movie is Ghostbusters 2, and I’ve seen it approximately 4,356 times.
