Final Throughts on Internship

   Before I am able to show off my skills I must make a great first impression. I have a fun and bubbly personality and I believe my boss and colleagues will love that about me. I’m excited about presenting myself to the company. Although I’m excited about presenting myself, that’s my biggest fear, acceptance. I won’t be surrounded by a bunch of my peers anymore, which means I must conduct myself in a different manner. One question that has been beating my brain is what an average day looks like in my internship. Will I be piled with a lot of work? Will work be slow for me? Is there any such thing as “fun” in the office? I like a fast paced yet fun work environment. I also would like to have a flexible boss who doesn’t mind laughing. I am a very independent person so I would like to have a boss that will allow me to take the initiative to handle business. While in my internship I wish to blend in with the office culture and brush up on my grammar skills. I have no problem speaking to any, it’s just I don’t want to leave any room for judgment through my speech.

What's a Resolution to a Life Change?

  New year new me, blah blah blah! Having a New Year’s resolution is the lamest way to start off your new year. Keep it real with yourself, what was your resolution last year? Did you follow through with it? Do you even remember it? Instead of unrealistic resolutions, I challenge everyone to have a lifestyle change. Instead of changing who you are, I challenge everyone to stay themselves but just enhance themselves. Resolutions are forgotten just as fast as they are thought of. If you have a lifestyle change and enhance yourself, your results will stick through until next year.

Friendship Worth Mending

    This past year was the year of learning lessons. I cut a lot of people out of my life because their piece in my puzzle didn’t seem to fit anymore. One friend in particular showed her colors over time. She talked about me behind my back as if I was one of her enemies, yet I still considered her one of my closest friends. Over time I learned she envied me and felt we were in some type of competition. She turned fake on me right before my eyes, but I never befriended her. I loved her too much. After a while the animosity grew thick, and our relationship couldn’t breathe; so I dropped her. I told her she was fake and we were cut from a different cloth. I guess I was too blunt, because she started rumors about me and fired up drama on social networks.  After our incident I didn’t speak to her for a year. Life felt better without her. She just so happen to call me the day before New Year’s Eve explaining to me how she missed our friendship. The feelings were mutual but I would never admit it. Now I came into this new year debating if this friendship is worth mending.

God's Gifts

  My Christmas was an amazing and humbling experience this year. As the years go by it seems like Christmas is less and less exciting. Christmas slowly starts to not be all about you and gifts, but more about the younger generation and family. Money was tight just like any other year for me and my family, yet we were blessed for Christmas. It always seemed like the women in my family had a way of making something out of nothing. I was also proud of myself this Christmas. In the previous years, I stole every single gift I have ever given. I made a promise to myself to keep my past ways in the past and I stuck true to that this year. To someone else this may not be an accomplishment; instead, one might feel it is just something you’re supposed to do. I got comfortable breaking the rules because I was good at it, so once I did “right” it was a personal proud moment.

  Christmas morning I stumbled in the house from a party and I couldn’t help but stop and marvel at our decorated tree and presents. I noticed the cookie that my little cousins left out for Santa had been eaten. I wanted to do the honors and eat the cookie but someone beat me to it. At that moment, I was hit with a reality check. Christmas is all about showing love to the ones who love you back. Today as Americans, we are always on the go and moving too fast. On Christmas, you humble your heart and spend that time that you have missed with your family.
