Reflection

This class opened my mind to a new form of writing. I enjoyed blogging and I will continue writing my personal view on the journey to adulthood. I will also try to inform my readers on Arnett's Emerging Adulthood study.  “I can put a personal touch on journal entries.” But I need to make it a habit, it was difficult for class. "A new post was an assignment and not something fun." If you have a story to tell, blogging is great. It's nice to get feedback, it can create in depth discussions. I recommend this class to all journalism majors, it may be the future of journalism. This class was more self directed. I really enjoyed the discussions, it brought up more information on a topic. More direction in each blog post other than what's the latest news on your beat would have been more beneficial. 

Personal Entry 2

I had a lot of really great feedback on the last post. Today, I want to address futures. I spent the day looking at my options after college. I have been chewing over Miami Ad School, a advertising school that focuses on your portfolio. They are considered "the most awarded Ad School in the US or abroad." They have many locations including Miami, San Francisco, London and more. After looking at their web site and hearing from Kaitlyn Winkler, a representative of the admissions office I thought that this is the best choice for many reasons. 

I began to think of our economy and the lack of entry level positions and also my small portfolio.  I also thought to myself; "do I really want to graduate just to enroll in more classes?" 

But, if I am serious about my goal to be a creative in a top agency like Crispin Porter and Bogusky or Saatchi & Saatchi. Then going to a school that will give me many great opportunity with agencies like these is a must. Top priority for me as a 20 something: start and finish the 12 step application process to the Miami Ad School.
