The Beginning of the End

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog! With this being my first post I thought I would do a little introduction and what I hope to achieve with this throughout the semester. My name is Annie Bettag and I am a senior at Bradley University. I'm from St. Louis, Missouri and I will be graduating a year earlier than I should because of all the credit hours I had coming in to college. For those who saw that I was from St. Louis and immediately wondered what high school I went to, it was Ursuline Academy. For those who didn't wonder that, just disregard.

Anyway, this is the start of the end of my college career and I have had a blast so far, but the real work is just beginning. I plan to move back to St. Louis and work for a company where I can do some type of video production. I am a Television Arts Major and really enjoy creating and bringing visions to life. Eventually I would like to open my own production company and work to make St. Louis another hub for TV and movie making.

This semester I have many goals. First, I plan on starting a Fiverr account to gain more experience with editing and build on my portfolio. If anyone needs any editing done hit me up and I will do my best to work with you and help out! Next, I am very passionate about living a healthy lifestyle. I have been working out for about two years now and I have recently started to learn and perfecting healthy meals. I hope to build on my knowledge of exercise and food and grow in that area of my life both physically and mentally. Finally, I will be applying to jobs over this semester and I hope to write about that journey and potentially the outcome. These are a few of the things I will be talking about throughout this blog. There will be ups and down, serious and funny posts, personal and random, really anything that comes to mind that I believe is worthy to document. I look forward to writing about my adventures this semester and hope you all enjoy!

Applying for Jobs

I have been working on applying to jobs for a few weeks now. It has been a bit frustrating because there isn't much open for what I want to do now. My high school has a Facebook group called UA valuable connections. It is a network of all the women who have graduated from UA. I decided the other day to make a post in it about looking for a job and wow was that a great idea. I didn't think about it much after I hit send and three hours later I decided to check it. I was amazed! I had a DM from someone asking if I could help make a video for their organization. One of the women owns their own business and asked if I was interested in freelance work, another person mentioned a company I should look at, and there was a chain of people tagging others that eventually connected me to someone who works at a marketing company who will be a great contact to possibly get my foot in the door there! It's been a few days now and one of the people who previously commented DMed me telling ...

Job Interview

    Last week I got an email inviting me to sign up for a time for a job interview! I was super excited because the marketing is rough right now and I was starting to get a little down. I did the assessments that were required, answered a few questions in the best way I could to show my personality and signed up for a time. The job is a Community Manager job for a relatively new company and if I got it I would, as they have said, "be the face of the company on social media." That makes me a bit nervous but also very excited at the same time.     I had the interview today and I think it went pretty well. It was very quick but it was nice to get experience interviewing for jobs and makes me feel more prepared and excited for interviews to come! I am continuing to apply places and look forward to hearing back from more and more people! To all the other seniors who are looking for jobs just know we are all in the same boat. Keep that determination and you will ...

Changing My Mindset

      A lot has happened in the past year. At a glance, I might be compelled to rattle off all the terrible things that have happened in my life, in my family and friends lives, in the country, and even the world. That is all I have focused on. While some of those things might be a topic of a blog post in the future, that doesn't mean I am back tracking and going back to a negative mindset. I think writing about it is a great way to put your thoughts on paper, figure out how you truly feel, and then try and think of the good that came from it.      There have been so many great things that have happened this year like starting my senior year of college, hitting the one year mark with my amazing boyfriend, getting to spend more time with my family, learning to cook amazing food, and focusing on exercise. Those are all incredible things! While some of that may seem small, I choose to make it big in my mind. I want to relish in it and be grateful for wha...
