Hello bloggers! Guess what, I'm one of you now!
I've always wanted to start a blog, but didn't feel like I had much to write about. That is, until I graduated TCU and started my career journey. You know, it's a lot harder than anyone every let on. Actually, it sucks.
All of the internships I had, all of the hopes that part time jobs would turn full time, all of the hours I put in my first real job, and still here I am, sitting in my new grownup apartment with my new grownup diploma not happy and still not knowing what to do. You should know, being unhappy is a new feeling for me. I'm that girl who never has a bad day. I try very hard to always see the glass as half full and constantly look for the silver lining because I always believed it was there. I'm the eternal optimist, but unfortunately, I blame that outlook for some of the unhappiness I'm feeling. I've learned in these past couple of months that finding my niche in life isn't as easy as putting a smile on, wearing my cute new "young and professional yet still trendy" wardrobe and thinking happy thoughts. It's tiring, it's emotional, and it's just plain hard sometimes.
I picked my first major (English) because it made me happy. I picked my second major (Advertising/Public Relations) because I'm not disillusioned enough to think I can get through with my lifestyle on a restricted income (hellooo, I happen to be Burberry's BIGGEST fan, in case you didn't know). Turns out, I'm rather good at being creative. Turns out, it made me happy, too. Now, if only the advertising agencies could see that. All they see is a bad economy, my lack of real world experience and a multitude of recent college grads looking for the same thing I am. Now, not to toot my own horn, but I happen to think I have the ability and talent to stand above the rest (okay: toot toot)...or at least add some sort of competition for the rest. But even with all things considered, here I am stuck in a marketing job (which, by the way, really isn't as similar to advertising as I had initially thought) and looking for something else - something better, more fit to me and my skills/passions.
So, in conclusion, dear blogger, this is my outlet. Get ready for the ride of your life because through all of my job interviews, resume updates and internet searches, I'll be including you all in for the stories, good and bad, as I try to find my place in this crazy world.
