I am so nervous about the future.
I’m doubting my choice of public relations so much, hopefully it was/will be the right thing for me. I’m just nervous because I don’t LOVE people, like most of the other people in the field, but I do love writing and planning, so we will see.
I’ve been obsessed with looking for internships, even though I haven’t applied to any because I still have no idea what I’m doing at all. I haven’t even really had any classes yet, so I strongly doubt I’d get any internship.
There’s an internship with the Boston Celtics that seems so amazing. They have Media Relations and Community Relations positions for every semester, so I’m going to apply for the fall. It would be so great because Community Relations for the Celtics is literally my dream job. So hopefully with the classes I’ll be taking in the fall I’ll be a better candidate for the position. If not, I’m going abroad in the spring and will do an internship then, so when I return I’ll just reapply and then hopefully with my experience I’ll be able to get at least an interview.
Apparently my resume is crap, too. That’s always great to here. I had to rework the entire thing tonight after our career class in PR today. But now I really love it. It’s great, except the part where I HAVE NO PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE. That is a tragedy. I really wish I was taking the advanced COM writing class right now so that I will at least have news releases, etc, to put in my portfolio.
I just really hope I’m making the right decision. I know that even if I graduate and don’t get a job in PR, I’ll be qualified for any other communications related job, and I can always go to grad school or something, too. I honestly think that I can be successful at this and anything I want to do. I’m a hard worker and I love working, and I’m a very quick learner, so I can DO anything. But the problem is that I want to keep loving working; I don’t want to get a job that makes me hate going to work.
I’m just nervous right now. I should start writing for real in this, not just journal-type stuff, but like reviews and news-like stories, just to stay fresh since I don’t have a COM writing class this semester.
I think I’ll get on that, but not tonight. Tonight is for sleeping…
