People will do things if it's required.

Every day at work I drink my refreshing beverage out of a pink double-wall cup, complete with lid and straw. I am new here so not many people know my name yet. However the few that do know my name refer to me as the girl with the pink cup when they are telling other people who work here who I am. I like my pink cup. It keeps me from wasting the Styrofoam cups provided in the building’s cafeteria.

This blogging thing is completely new to me. For the longest time I never saw the point in just typing away my thoughts online for other people to possibly read. Maybe that’s because I had strict, conservative, catholic parents who closely monitored what I did on the internet growing up. Or maybe it is because when I finally was exposed to blogs, I was intimidated by some of the really bloggers who could put a creative twist on words. Whatever my reason may have been, I am over it now. Mostly because I am taking three classes at UNT that all require me to blog.

This will be interesting. I am a public relations major at the University of North Texas. I honestly don’t really know how I got into the whole PR thing. I started off my education pursuing a degree in agriculture...then business...then radio/TV. Which I suppose led me to the communications department. But when I found out that a career in radio would require me to live off of my parents for the rest of my life I started to seek new degree paths. The rest is a blur after that realization. I transferred out of my JuCo and into UNT. I think public relations must have looked good on the list of majors offered because somehow I ended up spending the last two years along with $20k at this school.

I can’t complain though. I have a solid 3.0 that would probably be higher if I would put more effort into my studies. However, I worked full time to pay that pretty penny that universities charge. On the plus side, I will graduate with a bachelor’s degree debt free.

So now here I am, typing away the thoughts that I am reciting in my brain. I need to play around with this bloggy-ness to figure out what it is that I am doing. I will be blogging quite a bit this semester. Mostly about issues related to PR. I can’t say that I will be the best at it but I will at least try to make it entertaining…you be the judge.
