What should I major in, and what college?

I'm a junior in high school from NYC, and I'd really like to do something along the lines of Magazine Journalism, specifically for Fashion. I also like photography, and digital design.

I'd like to stay nearby, but I'm up for anything. Just not too far away... I like the idea of liberal arts schools because I'll be able to have a closer connection with the teachers, and that'll help me study better. I also like meeting new people, and universities sound pretty cool too.
Overall, I'm pretty undecided. I was thinking NYU with some fashion classes and a major of journalism or english, but I'm not quite sure.

Any ideas? Thanks!
I do not want to go to FIT, mainly because I feel it is too generalized in Fashion. Is there a good perhaps, liberal arts school with a nice small neighborhood where I can major in Magazine Journalism/English?
(Do you think English would be a good idea as a major?)

While it is in LA, it does have some info on what you want to do. What you should look for is finding a journalist in the Field of work you would like to do and then see if they have a work email. So if you like the Fashion journalist from 17 you can email them asking about their job. It can help you decide and get a better view about each job.

Seeing as how you want to stay local, try private colleges or colleges that are big on your course like if New York has a fashion university apply there.

What specs should I look for in my new laptop?

Hi

My laptop (the only computer I use) is five years old and I need a new one. Since buying my last laptop I have started doing digital photography, and have not kept current with hardware improvements. I travel a lot, so I would like something light, and I do a lot of Adobe Photoshop, so the screen and graphics ability are important (I'm also doing more and more video). I also write a blog that features a lot of photographs, and video, and I am often in places where internet connections are slow. I'm using XP but would like to go with Windows 7. I currently use a 250 GB hard drive for my photo files.

If I had an high budget, What specs should I look for in

Processor make and speed?
Size of RAM
Video Card
Screen

Any other specs I should be checking?
Any specific make and model you would recommend?

Thanks

You should look at these:

Processor-->
Any Intel or AMD processor with more than 2.2GHz

RAM--->
3Gb to 4GB RAM in essential to run Windows 7 perfectly.

Video Card---->
A dedicated Video card is essential. A dedicated video card is made by ATi or NVIDIA. Go for ATi ones are they tend to be cheaper and give more performance than NVIDIA ones.
Presently the best ones are ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 and HD 4650 with dedicated memory.
Simply dont go for those useless Intel Graphics Media Accelerator. Intel GMA is integrated and the worst video chip in the world, even ATi Integrated chip like HD 3200 is a lot cheaper and beats Intel GMA easily.

Screen---->
Normally anything around size 15.6" is good for all purposes. Lower than 15" is not good for gaming, and above 15.6" is good but will make your laptop bulky(But good for keeping at home).

Hard Disk---->
Anything above 250GB. Nowadays most are providing 320GB.

Brand---->
Dont look at brands, get the specs correct.
