Hi again! It's been a little while since I have made a post, but it's also been a little while since I have had a free moment to sit down and really gather what all has happened in the past three to four months. Between my internship at Burson-Marsteller coming to an end and senior year at Penn State beginning, things have been non-stop for me. To quickly summarize how my internship went, it was incredible! I learned so much about myself and the industry of public relations, and I am so grateful to have had that opportunity. I had a final intern project that involved creating an integrated campaign based off of a true RFP, which was by far my favorite part of the internship. I was able to learn so much by giving this a go with two other interns and our coaches (B-M colleagues), who taught us so much about what all goes into these campaigns. The best part? We presented to the client and workers from Burson-Marsteller who judged our campaign against other intern's campaigns, and ours won! A great way to end an exceptional summer. As for the beginning of senior year, it's been juggling class, practice, Ad/PR Club, Fit For Fritz, SAAB, the National Millennial Community, my internship with Brand Demon, career fairs, job applications, networking, oh... and trying to have social life at the same time! The funny part? I love the craziness of this! It is so natural for me to be constantly multi-tasking and for my brain to be running a million miles a minute. Sometimes I feel like I have so much going on that I barely have the chance to ground myself, but that brings me to the main point that I want to make in this post... Focus on building yourself and knowing your purpose first. Something that I have found throughout my college career and internship experiences is that it is so important to have a foundation that is exclusive to you. This foundation should always be looked back on in everything you do. It should include things like:
Now, you may be thinking about what makes up your foundation, but I find that thinking about it isn't enough. At the end of my junior year, one of my teammates introduced me to bullet journaling. Bullet journals are whatever you want them to be, but I have taken the opportunity to use my bullet journal as my foundation. I write down all things that make up my foundation, and I try to keep them consistent throughout my journal. I do this by reflecting each week, logging my exercise and food consumption, doodling, taking notes on things I find important like faith, writing down my schedule, and by simply adding anything else to it that I deem important or impactful to my life. I am finding that it really is the little things in life that make a difference and help us find our purpose, and it is our purpose that will take us down the path that leads us to where we want to be.
