No. Seven - Career Research
Considering that I plan on working in the field of Public Relations, my career research on advertising hasn't shed much light or altered my opinion in anyway. However, the more I come across about advertising, I find myself comparing it to PR and finding ways that they are able to work together. In a sense, they could very well go hand in hand; the public's interaction and response works as the basis and foundation of both of these fields. In a nutshell, I have learned that it serves as a way to indirectly work with people, yet influence them at the same time. The research I have done has definitely made me a bit more interested in advertising and I may even decide to declare it as my minor.

No. Six
Considering that I've had a fair amount of time to adjust to college life, I have been cornered with a few things that completely stress me out. Of course I've put my school work above all but that has definitely gotten me stuck socially. I haven't been able to find a balance between the two. I am sure there is some sort of medium in which they can both fit but I have yet to stretch myself to find out. I don't mind just sticking with my work but after a while, its gets boring! So far, I've tried to mix my social life with my academics and it appears to be working; instead of just going out, my friends and I study together. The only problem there is that I don't seem to be meeting anyone new. I've weighed a few options to fixing my problem and the only reasonable one would be to complete all of my work during the week and dedicating my weekends to trying new things, meeting new people, creating memories and experiences. I am sure that is generally how it should work but everything has been up in the air lately. Balance is my goal and clearly the one thing that may make my load of stress a bit lighter.

No. Five - Quotes
My favorite quote/saying would simply be that "silence is golden." It is my favorite because I generally view myself as being quiet and it's so easy to relate to many other things. Through silence, actions have a chance to speak. It is far more easier to appreciate seeing something being done than just merely hearing and speaking of it.
I apply this quote daily through observing. I learn so much about things and people through the manner in which they do things, how they carry themselves, their body language, and their reactions without even saying a word. It allows me to take in my environment and reach a level of comfort before I feel the need to speak.
