Well, I just finished spring semester at Kent State University. This fall is my last semester. In December, I will graduate college with a bachelor’s degree in advertising. So, this officially makes me a senior… well, I’ll be damned. That was quick.
Kent State has held up is reputation of “Kent Read, Kent Write,†but not for me in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. I’m up to my neck in schoolwork on weekends—ask my friends. I’m doing really well in my classes and I absolutely love my major. It’s amazing; I never thought I would be so into something that wasn’t a hobby.
Kent has also held up to the “Kent Read, Kent Write, Kent Remember What I Did Last Night†motto. This semester I joined the classy KSU chapter of Delta Gamma. They are SO fun to hang out with and go out with! It has been a lot of fun so far and the more I get to know the girls, the more I love them. Next semester, I’m living in the Delta Gamma house. It’s sure to be an adventure.
I also snagged myself a new boyfriend. His name is JB and he is the biggest goofball ever. I absolutely adore him. When we are together, I feel like we never stop laughing. We have our serious moments but they are far and few between. I never thought I could find a match like this. His fraternity and my sorority were paired up for Songfest this semester and I randomly grabbed him to be my dance partner. When we first started hanging out, neither one of us had ever dreamed that we would be how we are today: absolutely, ridiculously, irrationally crazy about each other.
So now it’s summer and I have landed the perfect advertising copywriting internship in Virginia Beach and BCF Marketing Communications. They have the Virginia is for Lovers account and many more, so they are a pretty successful and well-known agency. I have no idea what I’m going to be doing, but I know that there’s another intern so I’ll have someone to pal around with, I hope. I can’t wait to be in the city that I love. Personal Paradise.
I’m also very excited for friends to come visit. Unfortunately, my internship is unpaid so I will also be working at Atkinson Realty doing some lifeguarding and giving people the keys to their vacation houses. It should be entertaining… we’ll see. I have no idea how much time I will have off because I will probably have 40 hours at the internship and then be working all day Saturday at Atkinson Realty. Sunday is beach day. We’ll see how long I can run on that.
I’m hoping that this summer I’ll sort of have a feeling of what real life would be like—I’m ecstatic. After the summer internship, I have one more semester and then graduation. What’s next? I’d love to conquer London. Or NYC. Or anywhere fun, really. A big city would be perfect. I’ll need a job and a roommate, and I’m going to start looking very soon. Let me know if you’re headed anywhere I might be going.
As for personality, I’m still the same—silly, friendly, imaginative, polite, outgoing. If you’re looking to say hey, give me a call. Send me a silly text. Leave me a stupid comment on MySpace or FaceBook. Have a great summer – because I’m going to make sure I will.
