First week of the Last Semester of Undergrad!

It is finally happening! The last semester of undergrad has begun--five years later! =) But here I am through trials and tribulations (mainly transferring what a terrible thing!) so many changes I can point out and many that I can't even recall ever happened to me. I am so very excited to get an opportunity to enjoy the last semester of college with 2 internships, 1 job and 2 classes. I'll find time for a life in there somewhere. Right?

It's hard to fathom that I am almost done with school and soon I will "be on my own." My mom keeps talking about things that I'll have to do on my own, somedays I'd rather just say can I focus on graduating right now? But I know I have to grow up a bit more too. Bummer right? I guess that's one things I always wanted and the last thing anyone ever wants to do. It's okay though, I think I'm ready to be a "big kid" now.

Started my internship at United Way today. I am totally excited to be there and ready to get to work! I can't wait to see what I will experience and get under my belt in the next few months.

I must cut this short though, With all this stuff going on I better get some sleep under my belt as well.

Till next time, I'll hopefully have more stories or entertainment or news. Who knows!

A Big Week and Semester ahead

I really should be reading and "studying" for my internships/ some of the new books I bought this break about Social Media, etc. But I'm not concentrating 100% on this, my mind is sort of wandering today. I'm just really excited for this semester and the opportunities that have been presented to myself. I'm very very excited.

Tuesday I start my internship with United Way in Topeka. I'm so excited to be working in the communications side of non-profits and being able to get some hands on experience and use what I've been learning for the past 5, I know 5, years. It's pretty exciting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and to know I'm not even a full time student this semester! Woohoo! My hard work is starting to show and I cannot be more pleased.

Wednesday I start at Squawk Box Marketing, I'm super excited to learn the ins and outs of SMS marketing and be able to help out businesses around the Kansas area use SMS to increase their business! It's going to be fun, and I'm totally ready for the challenges and learning all this new information. I'm excited and I can see this going very well!

My mind is wandering today... I just can't help it. So much has happened these past couple weeks the whirlwind of the holidays on top of everything else. Every change in my life has been positive and I am looking forward to what this year has in store. I'm so very excited and hope to keep you all updated on the success and trails that lie ahead.

Till next time, I'm off to spend my night reading!

Slacker, I know! I'm working on it!

Okay, so I have totally slacked lately and I apologize. But to be honest, the past months have been nothing but crazy. I've moved twice (out of my apartment and back home with mom and then we moved into a smaller house) I'm almost done with school, I have a great internship starting this month at United Way and I am sending out resumes and cover letters as if that's my job. So hopefully soon, I'll be even busier trying to figure out where I'll be going after graduation.

Believe me, it makes my head hurt too! But slowly, each day, I feel that I am coming closer to all my goals in life. Little by little, I know I will get there. I've already dealt with issues and hardships, I mean who hasn't? But I know that there is very little that can truly hold me back.

I have an interview/meeting this afternoon with a marketing firm. It's up and coming and it sounds like a great opportunity. I want to see what they have to offer and what it holds for me in the future. I want to make sure where I start is a good fit and will help me reach my career goals. Because lets face it, not many people stay in one job/company/position their entire life, I know I don't want to stay with just one thing for the rest of my life. And luckily public relations allows me to use a whole gamut of skills. I am so excited to take on the challenges after graduation and explore all the skills I have acquired over the years in school and working in Restaurants and at The Buckle.

That's all the update I have for now, I'm feeling pretty good about this new year. Which is definitely a first and it's great!
