9.12.13

Today has been an exceptionally good day.
I am the type of person who thrives on productivity. If I do not accomplish all that I wanted that day then I feel bad and overwhelmed.. So today was not one of those days! Yesterday I attended a Marketing expo. It was such a great experience! I realize that there are many people out there who want to invest in my future and set me on the path for success. All college students should jump on all opportunities available to invest in their futures. Business owners and executives love young people and realize they can bring value to the company. Especially larger private firms. Stetson prepares students for success..  I absolutely love it. It's scary to think I will  no longer be here this time next year.... but then also exciting after seeing all of the options available.
Also, my group won the 1st of 4 rounds in my marketing class. We have a great vision moving forward with our brand analysis and I really hope to provide useful information to the client. (Plus I'll win $70 if our proposition gets chosen...which is nice!) My teachers are so awesome and you can tell they are as much invested in our futures as we are. The hands on assignments and challenges to the traditional way of thinking are what make this university extraordinary.
Since this is my last year to kinda be a kid and in this atmosphere I hope to make the most of it... My wishes are that my goals are met, more relationships are built, and I simply enjoying each and every day. I think the people around me will help me do this.. Sometimes I may be frustrated or feel like I am about to explode from responsibility...those are the times to take a deep breathe and dream, walk around campus to take it in, call up that friend for lunch, eat ramen noodles, veg out on the couch. Just something that makes me happy.
My main wish is to stay positive this year and to keep those around me in a positive state.. these are the best times, even though they can be trying and busy, and we have to learn to enjoy the moments.
I could chat all day but it is getting late and my day tomorrow looks like this:
9-11 --> Work to plan community events
11-12 --> help prepare for Green Friday
12-2 --> Lunch with a dear friend and mentor
2-230 --> Meeting about food day
230-7 --> make calls for fundraiser
Relax... hang out with friends.
