Where's The Pause Button?

It's finally hit me. This is the last week of classes then ill be graduating and going into the real world. It's a bit surreal and several emotions are stirred up when I think about this next phase of my life. I would probably be more excited if I had a job and if every person I talked to didn't say "oh you're going to miss college so much; soak it up."

I'm not done soaking it up. School work got in the way. Can't I have a couple more weeks? I hope time creeps by these next two weeks. I want to soak in my youth a little longer. Before I know it ill have grey hair and wrinkles. Life is moving too fast. I need a pause button.

"Let's Jump In The Fountain"

Today was the day. After expressing my desire to jump in the fountain before I graduate, the girls of the communications team of the OSU Library jumped in the fountain. Garrett, of course, captured the moment. It was everything I dreamed of...cold, shallow and oh so fun! If only it was warmer and I had my swim suit, I would have swam or sat in the fountain bowl.

Finally

After four years of living in Stillwater, I finally own an Eskimo Joe's shirt! I know it's pathetic. Even the woman selling me the shirt told me so. Well, not really but you should have seen the look on her face when I told her I was a senior at OSU and didn't own an Eskimo Joe's shirt. It was on bucket list and now I can proudly check it off.

Thunder Game Off the List

Thanks to my co-worker and friend Caitlin, I was invited to attend the Thunder game last night with OSU's Sports Media Club and Association for Women In Sports Media. Fun night and another item on my list can get scratched off!

Another Off the List

Went to Bagel Cafe for lunch today, thanks to Garrett.

Dallas Friends

This weekend, I came back to Dallas and got the chance to catch up with some of my high school friends. I really loved catching up with them. It was amazing how easily we were able to get right back in the swing of things even though I haven't seen them in a while.

I love having friends like that who remind me who I am and where I came from. My high school friends helped shape the person I am today and when I get together with them I feel 16 all over again. We laugh about the silly things in life, spill the drama that's in our life and get advice from one another. I feel blessed to have true friends that have my back and know the type of person I truly am. I hope you all are just as lucky as I am.

Meeting my friends tonight was a great ending to my awesome day.

Interview Season

As my job hunt is in full swing, so is "interview season." I'm beginning to prepare for future interviews and recently had a rehearsal with my boss Bonnie on a couple possible interview questions I could be asked. Some were quite a stumper like, “Describe the last time you put you ‘foot in your mouth’" or "what areas of professional development are you most interested in pursuing."

I would love to get your input on possible interview questions. What’s the hardest question you have come across? What were really good questions you’ve been asked? How can I really impress the interviewer? What are good techniques to prepare for an interview? Also, do you think suits are a requirement, specifically, is it necessary if you know the place of employment is laid back?

I've had a few interviews in my day, but any and all advice and tips I can get are really appreciated. You can never over-prepare!

Opening Positions for Guest Bloggers

As the thirty day blogging challenge is beginning to get more difficult due to a lack of content ideas mixed with an increase in school projects and a busy schedule, I came up with a fantastic idea. After begging my boyfriend to blog for me I knew what I should do... have guest bloggers!

I'm officially opening applications for guest bloggers. You can blog about anything you want; just send me your name and email address and we will work out the day for you to blog. You see, everyone can get something out of this. My blog will still have 30 blog posts in 30 days and you will get the chance to show off your blogging skills. Feel free to use this opportunity to showcase your blog or to use it as practice. Whatever floats your boat. Let the applications pour in!

Front Porch View

I'm too tired to post about my exhausting and fun weekend. Hope you enjoy this view from the front porch of our cabin. You don't see trees like this in Stillwater or Dallas. Surprisingly, these are from SE Oklahoma.

Cabin By The River

I've Arrived

...In SE Oklahoma! I'm spending my weekend in Broken Bow, Oklahoma for my roommate's wedding shower and bachelorette party. This should be a fun time. Let the good times roll.
