Welcome to my blog! Here I will talk all things entertainment, whether it’d be a review of something, news of a celebrity or event, or my opinion on something and I’m just rambling on. Time to introduce myself: 

My name is Megan Behnke. I’m 22, from Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, and I am currently a Multimedia Journalism Major at the University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh. I have a mom, a dad, two older sisters, and a dog.

Why journalism, you might ask? Ever since I was little, I loved writing. I don’t know what it is about writing, I just loved being able to express myself, tell a story and be in this whole other world. I could write for hours and hours on end. Getting a writing assignment meant I could write a story and draw people to this world I just made up. I would be that kid that would stay in during recess and write. I took a summary of a book I read only a few chapters of and wrote four full pages of what happened. If the paper we were writing on had only a few lines, I would start writing all around the page in order to make room, including on the back.

When I got to middle school, it changed. I didn’t write as much as I used to. I wasn’t as motivated as I was in elementary school. However, when I got to high school, I took two creative writing classes and that’s where the passion came back. I realized, though, I never lost that passion, it just went away for a bit. 

In my junior year of high school, I struggled with what I wanted to do with my life. Most of my friends knew what they were going to do, and they all got decent scores on the ACT where they could actually get into a state university if they wanted. Me, on the otherhand, had no idea what I wanted to do, where I wanted to go, and took the ACT twice and still didn’t get a good score.

After much consideration and long and frustrating talks with my parents, I settled on going to the local community college to get my gen. eds. out of the way. My mom suggested I try music journalism. After thinking about it, I decided to try my hand at entertainment journalism. I love everything and anything pop culture and I love writing. I knew I had found my career path.

Here I am now: In my 5th and last year of college, just finishing an internship with a celebrity/gossip news site, and sending in application after application for either another internship or job.

Most of my friends have already graduated college, and even now I don’t exactly know what most of them are even doing. I don’t know where I’ll be a year from now or six months from now. Hopefully I’ll still be writing about what I love.
