Finals Senior Year...WHY?

So it's all winding down to the end, as I previously posted in my last blog. While im sitting in Calkins Lab getting together final papers, and studying for 5 finals, it totally blows my mind on why as a senior I have 5 finals! In fact in angers me. Life is not about tests, and what you learn in the classroom, but rather what you actually do in the work world. In the PR field everything is about hands on, and worrying about problems, and exciting times as they happen. I am extremely frustrated that graduation is in 4 days, and instead of being able to enjoy my last days as a student, I am giving myself a heart attack. Anyone else on my page?

Coming to an End

As this semester is coming to an end, I'm beginning to realize how much college itself relates to PR in many ways. In the career of Public Relations, not everything you do is recognized, but when something amazing is done it makes you feel like your on top of the world....and that's how it feels graduating college. It feels like all this hard work that's been done over the past 4 years, was praised, but nothing crazy, and now all of the sudden that graduation is coming, everyone is praising the great work....just a thought! Congrats to the Hofstra University Class of 2011....WE DID IT!

Nothing more exciting than a follow-thru

Today my PR107 campaign class finally got to have a fundraiser for Operation Homefront NY/NJ. My group has been working on this non-profit company to help raise money for military families in need of help. It was hard work, and our group busted their asses, especially Amanda S, and Alex B who literally went back and forth with Miller's Ale House for weeks. All in all I have to say there is nothing more exciting than working, an event that my classmates and I have put together. We raised over $500 dollars which all goes to Operation Homefront NY/NJ, and it was great to meet such generous families. A big thanks to everyone who donated, and an even bigger thanks to our group, we pulled it off for our last hoorah!
