Michael Swan
University of Texas, Austin
I'm currently a sophomore at The University of Texas at Austin studying Journalism and Radio Television Film. I also work for a show on the campus television station, TSTV. I have a strong passion for TV, and I hope to work in the industry someday or write for a major entertainment publication as a television critc. My favorite shows are 30 Rock, Lost, and Pushing Daisies. In my free time, I can be found catching up on my TiVo or popping in a DVD of the latest TV show I just bought.
