How It All Happened

You all thought I was going to be a teacher, right? Then bam, here's my new plan. Journalism major with a specialization in public relations. And imagine people's faces when I tell them. Everyone asks questions like: "What is PR?" or says "Aww, honey I always thought you were going to be a teacher." Well honestly, I always thought I was going to be a teacher too. Then this new idea popped into my head, and I start telling my friends "In my second life I would go to fashion school, intern in New York, then work for a designer & be in charge of their social media or communications, or in charge of their public relations section." Well surprise! My second life is hopefully to become my real one. Why sit and wonder if I could do it, instead of just jumping in?

I didn't want to look back down the road and wonder what would have happened if I followed my crazy dream to do public relations with the high goal of the fashion world.. I'm here to try and make it happen. If fashion doesn't work, hey, there's many more industries I'm interested in. 

Right now where I stand with my new major is anticipation. I am anxiously awaiting my fall classes where I will begin the intro to journalism classes, and then spring semester is when I tackle public relations. I'm also really hoping for an internship over winter break (cough cough, please New York) but I do not want to limit myself to just one city. This Nashville girl might not love the Big Apple. 

So here it is, my new major and new "firsts" and luckily for you, you're here to witness it all play out. 

Here's to a new beginning..

Well, hello! I'm just your average twenty-year-old college student sharing my thoughts on seeing things through my eyes. Some of you might know, I already have another blog. That blog is more personal, pictures and stories detailing random things. But this is here for writing, not photos of my latest weekend with my best friends and more in Oxford. Those will be included in this blog too, yes, but not as often & not as the subject matter. 

I go to the University of Mississippi and recently changed my major to Journalism. I hope to take the classes in order to be specialized in Public Relations. As most girls at Ole Miss, I'm in a sorority, Tri Delta, and love the friendships that have come out of that organization. While some say you're paying for friends, if you're on the inside you know the real side. This side is full of love, incredible friendships and opportunities. There are a lot of stereotypes about Ole Miss, especially with sorority life, and I can't wait to give you all an inside look! I'll also post my writing from classes, for fun, and fingers crossed I can get an internship & share those stories with you too. 

I like to think my ideal job would be working in fashion; public relations specifically. But as I'm discovering this new major maybe my ideas will change. I do know that I love reading fashion blogs, whether it's a social media intern's who works for a well known designer, or an average woman working in New York writing her journey. Maybe I have a future with blogging, maybe it's not even in fashion, and maybe the best has yet to be discovered and the opportunity of a lifetime will present itself. 

I'm not sure yet what this blog is going to look like or what it will include, but here we go!
