Amanda Lorber: Summer Camp Today, NYU Tomorrow

Amanda Lorber, the 17-year-old star of MTV’s docu-series The Paper, rang up Just Jared last week to talk politics, plans for the summer and preparing for her upcoming semester at New York University.

Here are the many interesting things the fierce editor-in-chief of Cypress Bay High School’s The Circuit newspaper had to say:

JJ: Since you’re graduating, how will you be spending the next few weeks?

AL: I’m going to be spending as much time with friends as possible. I’m leaving for the summer! I’m going to be a camp counselor in North Carolina at a place called Blue Star.

JJ: You’ll be teaching kids there?

AL: I will. And maybe I’ll start up a newsletter.

JJ: I heard you went to the Barack Obama rally in Sunrise, Florida last week. How was that?

AL: It went well. I’m still trying to figure out what I’m gonna do, come, time to vote. I don’t know for sure who I’m going to vote for but it will be a Democratic candidate. (Editor’s note: This interview was conducted before Barack became the Democratic Presidential Nominee.)
