Hey Sharks and fellow creatures of the sea! Happy Monday! My name is Amanda Kaplan and I’m the new Multimedia Editor at The Current. I’m a junior Communication Studies major at Nova and this is my first semester here. I am a transfer student from a university in New Jersey and I am originally from Staten Island, New York. Hold the “sorrys” please, it really isn’t that bad, I promise. Coming from the Northeast, the hot weather in Fall is definitely a culture shock to me. I still can’t get over waking up to palm trees every morning and not having to put on a jacket in November.
When I’m not working at The Current, I love eating and shopping, of course. I have been a dancer for 17 years and I dance everywhere I go. You can always see me laughing or smiling and I tend to be very loud. I guess it’s the New Yorker in me. I love watching any kind of chic flicks and I watch Dance Moms more than I should. Yes I am a girly girl but I also love watching sports too, I’ll always be a New York fan at heart.
I hope to work in the entertainment industry when I graduate college but I often change my mind on what exactly I want to do. In my blog I hope to be able to share with you the lessons I learn, what I experience at my time here at Nova and adjusting to a life in a brand new state. Grab your Monday coffee and start your week with something to take your mind off work, at least for a few minutes. Please feel free to contact me at ak1030@nova.edu! I hope you enjoy my blog, talk to you soon. Happy reading!
