WOW what a whirlwind! I have been crazy crazy crazy busy for the past couple weeks and I am really sick of it!
Just a FEW things I have been up to:
I am involved in NSAC (national student advertising competition) which is a big competition where we get a national sponsor (JCPenney) and create a full marketing campaign for them, create a 32 page campaign book, advertisements, and present it to a panel of judges. It is very time consuming and has pretty much taken over my life this year. I was an art director in charge of the 32-page campaign book, which was a huge task. I finished that last week. I have NEVER spent so much time on campus! It was A LOT of work but I had so much fun with my classmates and am really glad I got to work with these awesome people! Next weekend is the big competition. We all go down to Minneapolis and compete against 8 other schools and see how we rank! If we win 1st place we go onto the national competition (we wont). Then we all party together and it is just going to be a BLAST and I can’t wait!
I also had a portfolio review for my art degree. This is basically supposed to weed out the people in the art program who are not working hard enough. Depending on what people you get judging your work, you can really get ripped to shreds at these things. It went pretty well, my people were really nice and said I was on track. It I a WHOLE lot of work for a half hour session that basically told me what I already knew...oh well.
I also have been applying to internships. Internships are really hard to find it seems. I have applied to a couple and have a couple more to apply to...but it is such a hard thing to get a hold of a decent internship. I don’t understand why it is so hard to let someone hire me to work for free! cripe. So it is stressing me out a bunch.
The other night at the bar, I was talking to a friend of a friend about her job at a privately owned verizon wireless store and how she makes a decent amount of money. I have always kind of liked the idea of selling phones and so I told her that I want that job...well she got me an interview with a different store in town. I am nervous to start this job if I get it. It would be a lot to learn and change is scary! PLUS if I actually get an internship, I will be starting two new jobs at once. ugh
Yesterday two of my cash wise buds had a birthday party bus! It was super fun, but everyone was talking about leaving! I basically came to the conclusion that all of my closest friends are moving away this summer and I feel really sad and uneasy about it today!
All of my friends are spreading across the country and leaving me behind with nothing. Another sign of change. Change is really hard sometimes but it usually just ends with me growing and becoming smarter. I just feel like I am going to be really lonely the next couple years. Then I was thinking about how it won’t be any easier once I DO graduate and move to a new job wherever it may be. When will I ever have a foundation of great friends that will stay in the same place ever again? I don’t know. I obviously know that I will make new friends and bla bla bla, but it takes a long time to surround yourself with great people, and then when they all move away at the same time, it is really hard to swallow. SO needless to say I am very nervous about my future, although I think I am making good decisions for myself, and I am happy for my friends who are moving on. I almost wish that I was making a huge change as well so I didn’t feel left behind.
Fantasy Factory is on again! Yay!
Hopefully I will finally have some time to blog more frequently now, and hopefully the next time I will be more up beat about my life.
This kind of turned into a journal entry to help me work through my fears haha, sorry for spelling and grammatical errors!
