How to get published in an academic journal
It made me
feel delighted 
"It's a wonderful feeling to see an essay you've worked so hard on published in an academic journal. "
How I did it: I submitted my best essays every year to the undergraduate history journal and this year, I also submitted other essays to other academic journals. As of now, I have 2 essays published in two academic journals (1 in history, 1 in political science)
Lessons & tips: Keep on submitting to journal publications! Keeping in mind that I wanted to potentially submit an essay for consideration, I also worked extra hard on my essays. Before submitting essays to journal publications, I also re-edited my essays, incorporating comments from my TAs/professors and making changes where I can.
People doing this are also doing these things:

But it’s a big ego boost. You will, however, spend the rest of your life looking to see if anybody has cited you and what they say about your paper!

I think this counts. I was also in the UIST proceedings that year.

Here’s my top journals to publish in, mostly implausible:
New Media & Society
Theory, Culture, Society
Games and Culture (new Sage journal)
Critical Studies in Media Communication (a big deal)
Gamestudies.org (I may actually submit my Xbox/gamertag paper here; online journals seem “easier” to submit to than paper journals. Not sure if I would count this goal as “reached” if I did this).
