Ever wondered what goes on at the Total Girl office? I’m here to tell you – this is what I get up to each and every day!
9am: Arrive at the office, turn my computer on and talk to Mel about everything that happened on TV the night before (Mel and I sit next to each other).
10am: Have a staff meeting – they can be different kinds of meetings, sometimes it’s about what stories we want to put in the next issue, or how we want the stories to look when the art team designs them, or what videos we could make for Total Girl TV!
11:30am: I’m usually pretty hungry by this point, so I’m wandering around the office looking for potential snacks (chocolate is my fave).
11:45am: Write a story for the magazine – as most of my stories are entertainment ones, I get to use all my knowledge of books, movies, TV and music to create a hilarious page in the mag!
12:30pm: Break for lunch (which is usually some leftovers from dinner the night before, but if I’m feeling extra fancy I might go get a burger, hah!)
1:30pm: Watch video clips. After lunch, it's tough to get straight back into the swing of using my brain, so I use this time to catch up on news that's broken online, watch new movie trailers and LOL at some old Adventure Time clips (just don't tell my boss!)
3pm: I’m back on the hunt for chocolate treats, but I’m also working I swear! I might be preparing for a cool photo shoot, doing a phone interview with a celebrity, or heading out of the office to go and meet someone and interview them face to face. I’ve interviewed Meghan Trainor, The Veronicas, Ross Lynch, Laura Marano and so many more famous peeps – they’re always so cool and nice!
5pm: I'm getting ready to go home, so I start finishing up my stuff for the day. I’ll talk to the art team about how my stories are looking, chat to my editor about what else is on for the rest of the week, and reply to any important emails I haven’t had a chance to look at. And I always try to leave my desk looking neat and tidy so that I feel fresh and ready to tackle the day when I arrive to work tomorrow!
Does my day sound like you thought it would? It’s not all fun and glamour (but I do get to go to movie premieres sometimes!)
