A Name, a Paper, and an Open Road

First glimpse of this life and you think it’s long.

Three years later you’re looking into your final year. 
Exciting?

Somewhat, but not as exciting as it was on the first day.

It’s a relief, as well as, intimidation.

4 years of work put on a paper,

That’s it?

No guarantee of success?

Maybe I’m just being pessimistic

Or maybe I’m being truthful.

Let the Drummer Kick that

I really like the beat of this song for some reason.

Professor Neal Burns

Today was pretty neat.  I had lunch with one of my advertising professors, Neal Burns,  and some of my colleagues.  It was nice to talk to people about what's to become of our futures and how we are all feeling the same way, nervous.  It was also cool to hear about Professor Burn's history and how he ended up working in an advertising agency.  The story was very surprising and an eye opener for sure.  He came from a family who wanted him to become a doctor, but he wanted to be a surgeon.  He goes to college, tries drugs, loses his scholarship, fails out of school, does research for the blind, his research becomes famous for awhile, gets a job with NASA, becomes head of the marketing department for NASA, goes to work at some advertising agency, is asked to become the main guy of the agency, he quits, goes back to school, and now has a PhD., teaches, and is still working with clients of his own.  How amazing is that?

A Dream Come True

3 years into school and I’m doing what I’ve always wanted to, starting what will be my future, my company.  It’s nothing huge yet, but it’s a big step for me.  I started and now there’s only one way to go, forward.  I’m going to be the advertising consultant and the creator for locally owned restaurants and small businesses.  As of now, I’m working with one restaurant by creating a new bar menu, a Facebook Page, a blog, new shirts, effective promotions, and events for community involvement.  I am so excited to see where all of this will end up at.  I hope to become very successful and to become very involved with many charities.  All I can say is that ideas won’t lead you anywhere unless you get out of the lazy state and act on it.  I’m ready to work hard and I’m definitely ready to continue this new journey.  I remember when I was younger I was always coming up with ideas to start a company.  It started with a leaf raking group, a twig seller for fireplaces, and a Mother’s Day Card seller.  The funny thing is that I actually made money and was successful until my parents found out what I was doing.  Anyway, I guess I’m trying to say that this is something I’ve always wanted to do and now I’m doing it. 

He is Perfection

I am officially hooked on Pretty Little Liars because of this handsome man.  Meli if you are reading this, you can have your Keegan Allen and I'll keep Ian Harding haha.  This man is perfection.  I now think it's time for me to go to a pub and order a cheeseburger while Happiness by the Fray is playing.  Oh and did I mention, the hottie is sitting 3 feet away from me?
