Hell Week April 21, 2008

So it’s come to that time again, and the last time for me.  Hell Week; the week where you are responsible for about 6 projects, 6 presentations and along with that, an internship paper that hasn’t even been started.  It will be such a relief once the week is over but there’s so much standing in the way of me and the finish line right now.  It’s almost here though and I’m so excited to get out of school and move on with my life.  I think it’s about time me being in my 5th year of college.  I think anyone would agree.  Call me crazy, but the idea of getting a job and moving onto a new chapter in my life is actually pretty exciting.  No projects to worry about, you have most of your nights open to relax and best of all, you’re making money!  Being a poor college kid for 5 years, this can make anyone happy.  I understand I’ll have bills to pay, but now I can actually have the option of splurging on that gorgeous pair of stillettos i always have to pass up in the mall because I have no money.  Things may change for the better. Nice

Gotta Love the Movies April 14, 2008

  So this past weekend I saw the movie “Prom Night” which everyone has been so hyped up to see, me being one of them.  As you know, it was a remake of the original which starred Jamie Lee Curtis years before.  It was your typical teenage slasher movie and I had my doubts about whether it would be a good movie or not.  Before going I knew it could be one of two things;  It was going to be really pathetic and watered down to the point where it wasn’t scary, or it was going to be a stupid teenage horror film.  Believe it or not, after seeing the movie, I was mistaken.  I loved it!  I think it’s one of my favorite horror movies which I will definitely purchase when it’s out on DVD.  Usually I’m not the kind of person to buy a movie when it’s released unless I though it was worth it.  Well I’d like to tell all you movie-goers out there that are having second thoughts;  Go and see this one!  Brittany Snow was amazing in lead role and everyone was really great as far as acting goes.  Usually in these kinds of tenneage movies you expect the acting to be really fake and horrible but this one was different.  The movie was a little predicitable but there were some things that even got by me.  So overall, the movie was great and I’ll definitely be waiting to buy that one when it comes out on DVD.

Change of Mind April 7, 2008

    So I may have mentioned it before but I’ve had a change of mind on where I’d like my job path to begin.  I was always into the idea that I would get into Entertainment PR when I graduated from Rider but I have to say, in the past month I’ve gotten very turned off to the idea of PR.  Maybe it’s just some classes that have disinterested me, I don’t know what the reason is but I have no desire to go into that field anymore.  I would like to get into promotions/marketing as of now in either the Fashion or Entertainment industry.  The idea of promotions just seems to satisfy me a lot more than the idea of writing press releases and communicating with editors all day.  Obviously there’s a lot more to PR than just what I listed but the desire has just gone elsewhere.  The industries that I would like to get into fascinate me but I do realize they are very competitive which makes me a little nervous when trying to land a job.  Hopefully I’ll b able to land something that will make me happy.  I know everyone has to start low on the ladder but maybe there is such thing as that “great first job.”
