Making Friends


Yesterday we had class outside. My sorority was having a philanthropy event outside so I went over to talk to some of the girls that were there. I had talked with them over Snapchat and text but never met in person because of the pandemic. I went to the gym but decided to do my class outside and sit with them. I was able to get to know the girls and see some of the girls I hadn't seen in a while! It was so good being able to catch up with everyone. I planned to be there for maybe an hour or two but ended up staying out there for five hours. 

Those girls are some of the best friends and I am so excited to continue to make time to hangout with them and spend time on the quad more to catch up with people I haven't seen in a while. I know I have isolated myself a bit and been less social with people since the pandemic so I am making it a point to step out of my box a bit more before I graduate and loose the chance. It's never too late to make friends. I find that I get in the mindset of "Oh I'm graduating so whats the point in making new friend because I'm leaving." I already have plans to hangout with these girls even more! Hanging out with them yesterday was some of the most fun I have had this year and I can't wait continue to hangout more with everyone!

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 ...

New Website!

This week I have been so productive! As stressful as it has been and still is I have gotten so much done and I just finished my portfolio website! I have been working on piecing together all of my past work so that I have everything in one place and can send it out to employers! I have applied to two jobs so far this week and I want to apply to at least three more by the end of the week! This has been a project weighing over my head for a while but now that I have my reel, website, resume, and cover letter completed I am able to easily pump out those applications for after graduation! Deciding to graduate a year early was such an amazing decision! I am so ready to move on and thrive in the real world! I have copied the link below if anyone would like to take a look at my portfolio website! www.akbettag.wixsite.com/portfolio

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...
