Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
Sry. You have to wait for high school to talk to your counselor. If you are ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE that you want to become a journalist for a magazine they'll let you know what classes you should talk. Yes of course you still have to go to college. Being a journalist or editor of a magazine is pretty tough and since a lot of people like to write you have to be the best.

Hey!
I am actually planning to work for a magazine, and maybe even having a job like Atoosa from Seventeen. Well, I am starting college soon..in like ten days...and I am double majoring in Journalism and English.
After that, I am planning to move to New York to get my master's on both areas. Plus, all major magazines are there...so hopefully to get a job as well.
Good Luck,
Teacup

Pop Star magazine isn't journalism; it's creative writing.
If you want to be a journalist, PLEASE don't be a superficial journalist who can't write about hard stories. Those people irk me.
You absolutely need to go to college for that. I'm sure if you had talent that you could land a job, but if you don't have the discipline to educate yourself, who would want you as an employee?
In college, you will probably take Journalism and English classes, among others.
My suggestion? Get a major that's a little broader. Maybe go with Communictions or English. This way, you'll have more options should your dream fall through.

In High School:
I recommend getting into journalist/ AP English classes. Maybe even get on your schools newpaper to get more expierence.
Try applying to a college with great majors in Journalism. Most colleges have small majors in journalism too. While you're there, maybe that can direct you to a journalism internship.
