Song obsession of the week: Skinny Love- Bon Iver


Turn up this song and roll down the windows.

Working that 9 to 5.

I recently got a summer internship with RAPP (formly known as Rapp Collins Worldwid) Marketing. I had an internship last summer for an advertising agency in my home town Glass McClure, it was a great company, but my days were not nearly exciting as my time here at RAPP has been. I feel so blessed to have gotten this position and to have met the people I have met. The environment they have created in this agency is one of a kind. The people are REAL and able to be themselves. There is no strict dress code and it is a relaxed environment but the people are brilliant and get their shit done. Having this internship has opened my eyes to what kind of job I want to get when i'm finished at TCU. I never want to work in a stuffy environment where you feel like you can't be yourself. I've gotten so used to college and being able to sleep into 11 and having my father pay  my bills that this really was an eye opener for me in so many ways. I don't ever want to have to rely on anyone in my life to be financially stable except myself. I'm not goign to lie, i'm scared as hell as to what i'm going to do when end of my senior year of college rolls around and not getting my "monthly allowance" from my Dad. Not to sound pompous, but that is why i've already had 2 internships and I still have 2 years left of college. I don't want to just be "on the grind" after college. I want to get an amazing job I love and still maintain the lifestyle i'm accustomed to. I'm so thankful for all the blessings God has put in my life. I look around at other kids who are doing drugs and still living off their parents pay checks and really just feel proud of myself for how strong i've become and my accomplishments, which is a really great feeling. I learn more and more about myself everyday and i've met some amazing people at this internship that only furthers my point of surrounding yourself with good people goes a long way.
