Well, I recently made the transition from student to an entry-level professional, traveling over 700 miles to do so. In result to this big change, my blog has been unintentionally neglected. No excuses though, I am getting back on track immediately.
I am currently interning at Peppercom, a Public Relations Strategic Communications agency located in New York City. This opportunity is more than I could have ever asked for. NYC is where the industry I love lives, breathes and will never sleep. I have discovered this place is definitely the fast-paced capitol of the world in many ways. I have never walked down a street so fast in my life. I find myself wondering why I am walking so fast? It isn’t like I am running late, but because everyone else is racing to get somewhere first, I try to keep up. No complaints though, my legs will be in shape in no time.
When I first arrived, I went and experienced the sights in Times Square and Central Park, which did it for me. I was overjoyed while visiting the places I have seen in so many of my favorite television shows and movies. I was over stimulated with advertisements in Times Square and calmed in beautiful Central Park.
NYC is the mecca of all things I find appealing. This is why I am still in shock as I ride the train into Grand Central station every morning, walking the streets amongst big wigs, tourists, celebrities and aspiring interns alike. I am delighted to continue my career at an agency, and even more excited to be living one of my dreams so early on in life. I do not know what my future holds, but for now I am appeased knowing I did it. I made it to the Big Apple and I am thrilled to the core.
