Resume Torpedos

Overcoming my fear of seeming like an underqualified delinquent to potential employers, I've begun to fire resumes and cover letters in all directions. The job hunt is on-- full force. I won't deny that I'm nervous. My worst fear is graduating college with no job and a ticket back to my parents house (not that I wouldn't love to live under your roof and be spoiled, mom and dad...I like old people).

After changing my mind countless times, I've decided to enter the world of social media and marketing. It's new, creative, and exciting-- it's the future of business and it feels right. I recently did two internships in broadcast news. I truly loved those internships, especially the time I spent at WVLT in Knoxville, TN. I gained a ton of experience and confidence, and met some inspirational people. As wonderful as my experiences were, I still wasn't sure I belonged in the news business. However, if we were still in the era of Ron Burgundy and the moustache, I'd be much more inclined to work in news and live an outrageously self-centered life as a news anchor.

I'm really hoping one of my resume torpedos is going to impress someone, somewhere. I don't have a Plan B at the moment because I refuse to think about myself failing at this right now. I'll make a Plan B in time, but if I have it my way,

my resume will smack a pretty cool person in the face, and they'll want some more :-)

COME HOME MARK CONSUELOS!!

I may be a little biased, but I have good reason to believe that my boyfriend resembles Kelly Ripa's piece of meat, Mark Conseulos. Feel free to comment on the likeness (or tell me how jealous you are)...but that's not the point of this post. I really want to share how EXCITED I am that Ryan is returning from three awfully long weeks in Japan! I fell for him fast and I've been missing him like crazy. It will be sooo nice to do trade in the 14 hour time difference and occasional Skype dates for the real thing. MONKEY!

I'll be heading out to the airport tonight for a very very special welcoming. Ryan deserves it. I've been videotaping the preparation for this very special day so look for the video post in the near future!


I got an amazing FlipCam Ultra HD for Christmas. I LOVE i and I will be putting it to good use. Keep your eyes open for my YouTube channel...........

Sometimes it takes something like a new year, new relationship, tragedy, celebration, etc., for us to take a good look in the mirror and ask ourselves, "Who the hell am I???"

I found myself contemplating the answer to this question this morning as I stood in front of the mirror with smudged eyeliner and bad breath. I'm graduating college in a few months with some semblance of a plan, but is it right? Is it good enough? Am I good enough?

Who am I anyways? I mean, I think I know...but do I really? Can we ever really define our identities when we supposedly change and grow with each passing moment? Does it even matter?

Here's my theory: You don't have to know yourself inside and out. You simply need confidence and faith in the person you believe yourself to be, as well as the desire to continuously learn and grow. Success and happiness are sure to come your way.

Easier said than done, right? Yeah...well...I'm rollin' with this theory for a while. I'm bringing my inner rockstar to the forefront, living life as I choose. No definitions. No parameters. I might need a little encouragement on this journey, as we all know things don't always go our way.

So join me as I transition from college girl to BIG GIRL. I've got some big decisions to make and a few suprising secrets to reveal!!!

You ready?? 

Let's dance!
