JOJO - JOJO IS COLLEGE BOUND

JOJO IS COLLEGE BOUND

JOJO's schedule is about to get a lot more hectic - the pop star has enrolled at a U.S. university just as she prepares to release a new album.
The singer, who shot to fame at the age of 13, will soon be attending Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts.
She writes on her MySpace.com page, "After much consideration and research, I have decided that Northeastern University is the place for me! In the past week I've taken tours and met with students and professors of other Boston based schools, and now that the time to commit has come, I'm happy with the idea of being a student at Northeastern. They have a wonderful cultural anthropology program (which is what I am interested in going for) as well as a dual major option in International Affairs/ Anthropology. I'm so excited!"
But the star insists she won't let her studies keep her from singing.
She adds: "I am not going to put my career on hold, however. Progress is being made right now in (record label) Blackground's legal/contractual negotiations that have been holding up the release of any new music for months now. But I am happy to say that it looks like things are about to (finally) get rolling. Whhhhewwww.!! Since I feel the need to cover all my bases, I think it is essential and beneficial for me to eventually have a college degree. My long term goal is to gain a doctorate.... but I gotta take it ONE step at a time!"
Jojo's third album, All I Want Is Everything, is due for release later this year (09).
