Three things I love: public relations. social media. cupcakes.
Three things I question: blogging. graduation. oatmeal.
It’s easy to do what you love. I eat up the chance to write a good press release. I tweet like it’s my job. And I’m known as the girl who always manages to find the cupcake store when traveling across the county. You should see the list of cupcake menus I’ve collected within the last year…
But the real challenge comes when you’re asked to do something you’re not quite sure about. I ran into this challenge this week during the first meeting of my spring social media class: maintain a blog for 10 weeks. While I love reading blogs, it’s not my personal social media outlet of choice. But the deal has been made: maintain a blog for 10 weeks, ace social media class, and move on to graduation…another thing I’m not so sure about…
So pull up a seat, grab a cupcake (I recommend hot fudge lava from DC Cupcakes) and get to know a little about my opinion about the PR practice, pop culture, and everything in between as I begin my 10 week blogging challenge. And I’ll promise to be a little more open minded, giving blogging a true effort. Maybe I’ll even start to slightly entertain the idea of graduation. But I refuse to give oatmeal a chance. Who WILLINGLY eats soggy cereal?
I also recommend a red velvet cupcake, from anywhere, but ESPECIALLY DC Cupcakes. But I am definitely with you there, my mom and my dad are already on me about what we're doing for graduation and I'm like okay, pause. Can I make it through this quarter first before you start shoving that at me too.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention, my sister just sent me an e-mail of job listings from...get this, the PRSA website ;) SCARY but you have to start sometime, right?
I think that it's going to be tough, but very good for us to give blogging a try! And you are right - the easiest things to do are always the things we're most interested in. Luckily, I think the topics involved in the blogging assignments will be very interesting - I saw you already made a post about the mayhem that is Charlie Sheen right now!
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't want to be ridiculed, but I highly recommend oatmeal. It's way better for your heart than a cupcake. ;)
