Wow we are similar. I am pursuing a degree in Mass Communications (Journalism focus) starting in the fall and would absolutely love working at LA28.

 

I am more interested in the broadcasting side but also do work with newspaper (online and print) reporting.

Awesome! Good luck! I'm two years into my degree (halfway done). I've had a blast so far. I've been able to cover some cool events like the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament (sat front row). My tip: don't say no to anything. If any opportunity comes up, pounce on it. You never know what's going to happen.

I graduate with a bachelor’s degree next week 

 

You give the same exact advice I’d give to anyone else in communications, entertainment, or management.

We should have a Discord mixer at some point. I think that would be fun.

I was just discussing with my friends about trying to go to the Olympics in Paris since I'll be moving there for a bit this fall to study abroad. (probably still won't be there for Olympics though) but I was saying I honestly have very little desire to go to the olympics because I'd rather sit at home with 5 different screens so I can watch as many as events as possible (from the comfort of my own home) maybe I just don't like big crowds... but going to see 100m finals would be a dream.

Does anyone here plan on attending the LA 2028 games?

If time permits and I can get extended vacation time, I will be attending the LA games. I want to watch the track and field, swimming, soccer and badminton events.

That's a fair point. I think it's something I would love to do once or twice, but after that, I'll sit on the couch for 16 straight days and watch all the events, so I don't miss anything.

It's a long ways off, but I'd love to be there.  I've only been to 1 other Olympics (Salt Lake 2002) and that was to work, so it would be nice to be there strictly as a spectator.

Any guesses as to how much tickets will be? Also, any ideas on lodging? I think an Air BNB would be the best option, either near the Long Beach venues or near the shooting/equestrian venues.
