Hello everyone! My name is Lindsay, I am a junior Advertising and Public Relations major and this is my first blog post of this year. I have been blogging for the Global Ambassadors for a few years now and I love seeing the transformation I have made since Freshman year.
Before school started I had a feeling that this year was going to be a big and busy year for me. My average day starts at 8am and often times does not end till past 5pm. Between going downtown for class, student teaching for Peer Advising, and going to my internship I have learned that time is precious and every minute counts. With everything on my plate it is important that I find some kind of balance for school, work, my friends and myself. Sounds like a big task right? Here is what I have learned along the way:
1) Be 5 Steps Ahead. Often times I do not have time to go home throughout the day so this means I have to bring everything with me, including my food (the most important!). I pack the night before and make sure that I plan out my meals so I can always have something yummy to eat at work or before class.
2) Always Have a Go To Outfit. My internship has a business casual dress code but for the first few days of work I wasn’t sure what that really meant. To make things easier on myself I planned three outfits that I knew would work. This can be helpful for future interviews as well.
3) Sleep Is Glorious. I have always valued sleep but now that I have full days of work and class I can see what a few hours more or less of sleep feels like. Get those 8 hours, it is makes the next day so much better.
