38 days till it all gets really real

Little Person, Big Aspirations

  If I got to name the weeks of my life like I name my pin-boards on Pinterest, last week would have been called "Interview till you drop." To quote my mom, it was "stupid exciting!!!" The next weeks are going to be full of final projects, presentations, a half marathon, and craziness but it will also be full of exciting job announcements from tons of friends who are entering the real world right along with me. And because we are the online generation, I would say a good 99% of these announcements will come via social media. Just last night two of my sorority sisters shared their good news, one on Twitter and one through Facebook. Immediately the congratulations started pouring in through wall posts, status comments, replies, and DMs; Mark Zuckerberg would have been proud. 
  I have a huge passion for social media, not just personally but professionally as well. Being Social Media Rep for Rent the Runway University of Tennessee along with being enrolled in Advertising 490: Social Media has really opened my eyes to everything social media can do. But at the same time respecting traditional media and learning how to connect the two to take a campaign to a level it could have never reached before. I like to view media as a puzzle. Every aspect of the campaign has to be taken into consideration and then like a 1,000 piece puzzle carefully analyzed. For an uber-organized girl like me this department of the industry is heaven. So now it's the waiting game, waiting to hear back and then time to make a pretty huge life decision. You're first job offer only happens once, right? But don't worry everyone will know when the call comes because I too will share my good news on the media platform that has gotten me this far, social media.
