Are you DTF?

            D.T.F is a slang acronym which literally means “Down to Fun” or “Are you ready to have fun?” or simply put, “Are you dtf?” And the DTF magazine and corporation is about fun and having no matter what age you are. Though technically the magazine targets young adults (more specifically male, but we do try to reach out to the female demographic) who are still in college (ranging from 17 to 21 years old), the group firmly believes that everyone, no matter how old or young, loves to have fun and is always “dtf”. We put the label of the age and gender range on the magazine for practical reasons, we are all males who are part of that age range, and however we try to make the magazine and its contents for everyone.  This goes in line with our group’s name: Verstehen, which is German for putting one’s self in another’s shoes, which is the mission of the group. We try to put ourselves in people who do not fit the demographic when we write articles so that people outside our target audience, can have fun and relate to the magazine. So, in all honesty, dtf? has no target audience. We try to make it for everyone so that everyone can feel welcome here.

            As mentioned, this magazine is run by young male college students so most of the content you get here are what we think is cool, hip and popular nowadays but at the same time paying homage to the past. Weekly, we will be uploading articles about sports, gadgets, hangout places, upcoming movies/music, our peers/ schoolmates whom we have deemed worthy of being a good representation of our generation.
            Let’s face it, we’re in college, and aside from studies and academics, all we want to do is have fun. College students, quite frankly, work so hard 5 days a week (sometimes 6) that they do not have time to just kick-it and relax. And this magazine is our medium of spreading the fun and joy, helping out our fellow college students (and others who are dtf) know what’s hip, fun and exciting nowadays. We cater to those who are so busy in the weekdays and have no time to plan what to do on the weekends. All they have to do is go here, look at our latest articles and features about what’s trending right now and make a schedule based on it.
            We ask our readers, “Are you dtf?” and we show them just what to do to have fun. It does not matter if you are alone or with a special someone or with a group of friends, as long as you are dtf but don’t know what to do, just checkout our magazine for the latest and hippest happenings in the metro!
