I am the graphic/art editor of my school newspaper.
I was the art editor of my high school literary magazine.

<p>I also have a question about student life at Columbia. How is the social scene? Is it fun? (Im not talking about parties, im not much of a partier) What are some of the things people do for fun, are a lot of people involved in intramural sports . . . ? Thanks!</p>
