Good afternoon!

I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce myself to those that frequent these forums. I'm excited to start being a part of this site because I can tell people really do interact and respond to others. A little about myself...

I am 21 years old and attend UW-Madison where I am pursuing a degree in Journalism & Mass Communication. Nothing else quite beats the game day football atmosphere here! My member name is supposed to be ironic because I am not a very tall person.

During the school year I help run UW-Madison's Sports Business Club. Right now I work as an intern at RotoWire and this summer I was fortunate to have worked on their annual fantasy football magazine. My future plans tentatively involve grad school in sports business at Ohio University. I hope to do sports broadcasting for football someday but I enjoy sports journalism just as much.

I know I am a little young for these boards, so I would love to know what kind of advice YOU have to share with myself and others who may be younger as well. Also, I always enjoy hearing how adults got their first start in the sports industry if you want to share that too.
I enjoy all input!

Spotted Cow is easier to ship.

They keep that on the top shelf, though. We can't reach that high.

She said she was short. She didn't say she was legally a midget in 37 states.
 
A 21-year-old admits he or she doesn't already know everything about the business from a stint at the college paper.
What a delight.
