About

My name is Tom Ranocchia, and I am a fall 2017 graduate of the City University of New York, Hunter College with a B.A. in Media Studies. I previously attended American University in Washington, D.C.

I developed my love of writing as a staff writer, and subsequently sports editor for The Standard, the student newspaper at King School in Stamford, Connecticut.

While a high school junior in 2008, a light-hearted essay I wrote was published in the book Chicken Soup for the Soul: Teens Talk Getting In…to College. In it, I discussed my experience of high school stress, participation in extracurricular activities, and making a good impression when visiting universities to which I was seeking admission.

This blog was created during my time at Hunter College, both as requirement and to showcase some samples of my writing.
