Happy Internship Season

 October is early to be on the hunt for internships for summer 2022 but I have begun looking. Recently I added a Marketing major, and for that major, I need a Marketing internship credit so this summer I am looking for a Marketing internship specifically. Starting early will give me the opportunity to get my name out there and in many different pools and see what sticks. This is my second time looking for internships. I began my search for summer 2021 in January 2021 and accepted my internship in February so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to get an even earlier start on the search process.

            One of my goals when doing internships is to try out all the areas I can and see what I like and what sparks my interest. My first internship was with Fahlgren Mortine an integrated communications company. This internship was with a firm, and I had the opportunity to work on over 23 clients in my short three months. Through my internship, I realized I love the travel and tourism industry as well as the food and beverage industry. As I look for internships this time around, I am keeping that in mind but be open to any possibilities.

            Applying for internships can be tedious from the first step of researching to the last step of submitting that final application. It helps to have advice and other opinions to hear from. When looking for advice I lean on my public relations professor Dr. Aggie, my mentor Ashley and the internet! I found this article and wanted to share it so if you too are looking for information to find an internship. This article written by Jamie Johnson, she suggests the following,

            “Start planning early. Many college students miss out on an internship because they simply wait too long. So, if you’re hoping to get an internship, the best thing you can do is start preparing early. Get your materials ready. If you were applying for a new job, you’d spend some time making sure that your resume is up-to-date and appears professional. You should put this same type of effort into looking for an internship. Look over your resume and see if there are any opportunities for you to improve it. You should also have a cover letter and list of references to go along with it. You’ll likely need to tweak these materials slightly for each internship you apply for. “

Can I be Klondike?

Being Klondike, the mascot here at Ohio Northern, is a big deal! It is a huge reveal when the persons who are Klondike graduate or end their Klondike careers. I have heard and have seen many pictures of the head reveal, and it is an exciting event for everyone. I happen to have a background as a mascot, and the hope to be Klondike one day is there. In my senior year of high school, no one was able to be our high school's mascot, Sparty the Spartan. There was one basketball game, and the opposing school had brought their mascot the Colt. I turned to my sister and our best friend Grace and said where's Sparty? I then ran over to my principal, who is a dear family friend to ask where Sparty was and that I wanted to be Sparty for the game. He laughed, and we went to get the outfit. This was a spur of the moment, but knowing how fun I am, this wasn't surprising to many. Let me preface that the costume had just been dry cleaned, and I am 5'3. The outfit was a little bit b...

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

  For my final blog post, I had this big thank you letter written to Aggie but accidentally deleted it. So now I am going to write something a little bit more exciting! The holidays!!! December has a lot of fun days coming up!!   For starters it is Christmastime so listening to Christmas music is one of my favorite things to do in the car and studying for exams. During December there are a few other celebrations. My twin, Andrea and I are celebrating our 21 st birthday on Dec.20 and my mom’s birthday is Dec.26! Those will be great celebrations with a lot of adult beverages.   I am a huge fan of traditions or yearly events especially during the holiday season.One of the things my family does is drive around the neighborhood or a light display and see all the pretty lights and set ups. I went with Zach and a couple of friends this past weekend to the Upper Sandusky lights! They did not disappoint. I am looking forward to seeing new light displays in our new neighborhoo...

So Long Spooky Season

    So Long Spooky Season             This past weekend was Halloween!! Friday night was a girls night! A group of friends and I went to two events on campus. The first was called A Haunted Walk sponsored by the student planning committee (SPC). This occurred out by the sand volleyball courts and we walked along the green monsters with spooky stores shared along the way. It was a good event, I would have loved to see it even more interactive but happy it was short as it was cold and rainy. The second event was Haunted Hill Sponsored by a Fraternity and History group on campus. It was a little spooky if I’m being honest. Friday night was a great time!             On Saturday My boyfriend Zach and I had a great time! We worked Admissions in the morning, then I went to the ONU volleyball game (which ONU won) and then I took a nap. Zach was on call so he stayed in his ...
