Hi blog world!
I know I’m writing my first post late in the semester, but trust me, I have been super busy this fall. Anyway, excuses are irrelevant and I’m here now (jamming to Whitney Houston as I try to figure out what exactly I’m going to type).
Last week I went to an internship panel discussion at Career Services sponsored by the Liberal Arts Undergraduate Council (LAUC) and the College of the Liberal Arts. I found it very informative. I knew I wanted to do another internship in addition to the one I did at Rep. DePasquale’s office in York/Harrisuburg PA, but I wasn’t sure what to do or how to do it. I spoke to some people after the meeting and believe it or not, it was my first time in the career and advising center! I learned I need to visit Career Services a lot more often, because they have a million (not to exaggerate) resources. Hopefully I will find a great paid summer internship here in State College related to my major, Political Science!
Also, this weekend was CCSG (Council of Commonwealth Student Governments) council weekend. This is when the SGAs of all 19 commonwealth campuses come up to University Park for a series of meetings aimed at bettering the Pennsylvania State University as a whole. It went amazingly well! I never realized how much more intimidating it is to run a meeting in front of a room full of people, instead of just being a member of the audience. But all went well. I have so much follow-up work to do that I should really be doing right now, but I would rather blog because I feel like I’m writing in my diary right now. (Not that I can keep a diary, trust me, I’ve tried, but it gets too demanding).
Tomorrow is my Students Engaging Students meeting! I am so excited to go! I love when we do the Happy Quarters! Getting involved is such a breath of fresh air! Especially on a campus so big where almost everything is overwhelming! It’s like a bowl of vanilla ice cream on warm fresh cookies after a good meal. (Yes I just said that.I was at Red Lobster and the dessert was amazing).
Anyway, this is just my first post, more like a “testing”. I’ll try to blog every other Sunday night so you can grab a cup of hot chocolate, a Penn State snuggie, get cozy and read all the fantabulous things I have to say! As of now, I need to get my internship search going and head to bed early tonight. I have a long week ahead of me!
I hope from my little blurb here you got to know a little something about me! You will hopefully be hearing a lot more from me in the weeks to come.
PEACE & LOVE ALWAYS!
STAY POSITIVE. STAY MOTIVATED
