I am starting this blog with the intent to share with you what I find interesting in the world of public relations. Now, how exactly do I define this world? I believe my experiences are about to define it for me. The world is big, so this is going to be an interesting ride. So hold on with me! I'll share my experiences and I hope to hear yours. I welcome any and all feedback/advice.


I'm not sure if you're a fan or not, but I'm a big fan of MTV's reality show Run's House. I'm especially a fan of Reverend Run's "Daily Words of Wisdom" that he writes from his bubble-filled bathtub every morning. In fact, I'm such a fan, I get them sent to me every morning through a subscription. Out of the small collection that I have, two pieces of wisdom have stuck with me (and I think these two pieces of wisdom epitomizes why I find myself starting a blog) as I prepare myself to leave college:

Excellence takes time- Words of Wisdom- 4/17/07:
Good morning. People forget how fast you did a job-but they remember how well you did it. Excellence means doing your very best in everything, in every way. (Remember) That kind of commitment will take you where half hearted people will never go!! Take your time do it right :) God is Love Rev Run

Busy is better than bored- Words of Wisdom- 4/19/07:
Good morning. Find something to do, because the feeling that we have too much to do is much more pleasing than the feeling that we have nothing to do. I've found that giving my team more to do in less time make them more efficient, energetic, and enthusiastic and it allows more free time outside of the work place. In studies of college students, those with more demanding schedules were 15% more satisfied with life. Despite the more demanding schedules, the individuals studied did not experience any more stress than those with less to do. Get busy! :) God is Love Rev Run
