<\/p>\nHey, y’all!<\/p>\n
This semester has flown by, and I am now two weeks out from graduation – crazy! I’m definitely feeling all the emotions right now.<\/p>\n
This is my last week of class, and I’ve been soaking it up. I just have two more assignments, and then I am done with coursework! I have to film a video presentation for my Italian Food Culture class, I present my group’s mock company in Business of Media, and then I need to write a paper on the impact of the male characters on the heroines across four books I read in British Fiction.<\/p>\n
Even though my chapter here at Iowa is coming to an end, I am thrilled about what is happening next! I have a full-time job lined up after graduating, working in sales insurance at a Fortune 500 back home in Arizona! I intend to continue pursuing publishing, writing, and traveling as well, with lots of fun trips with friends planned.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Three years ago, I came to the University of Iowa with nerves, excitement, and what I thought would be my path. I could have never even dreamed what Iowa would give me. I’ve met my for-lifers, worked and been published in 5+ lit mags, secured 5 internships, added on a minor in Media Management, studied abroad in Ireland, and discovered my passion for marketing\/PR, not editorial. I also became a tour guide and an RA and ran a half-marathon.<\/p>\n
I’m going to miss living in my beloved college town, seeing all the people walking and living their little lives each day, and seeing my friends daily.<\/p>\n
Coming to Iowa is one of the best choices I have ever made, and I am so grateful for everything my experience has taught me and for the memories that will last a lifetime.<\/p>\n
I also want to thank all of you who have followed along through the years, and I may have played a small part in your decision to attend Iowa.<\/p>\n
Go Hawks!<\/p>\n
