It's an experience only an elite group of creatives get to experience. If you're lucky enough to relate, you are a 10 in my book. Keep the spirit of journalism alive and apply for a position at your locally run magazine (OR, reach for the stars and apply to Hearst or Conde Nast.) Either way, it's worth it. There are many reasons I love working on staff at a magazine.

1. Seeing your hard work published and printed is the best feeling in the world.

Seriously, you'd think I just gave birth to a child made of paper that's filled with striking talent and raw content. It's called a magazine.

2. There's always someone to send funny or inspirational photos to in your group chat

We all need a break from the stress. Funny pun? Sent.

3. The stress... it's addicting

Planning shoots, writing on deadline, interviewing for quotes, booking models and locations.... It's all hard work, but the natural high I get when it all goes well is amazing

4. Tangible products are scarce in today's world

In a world where the word tangible is no longer really a concept because the digital era and social media have taken over, it's extremely special to have a tangible product at the end of the day. Long live paper me

5. You have a plethora of hard working talented contacts right at your fingertips.
