Learning from my internship

This semester I have a great internship that gives me insight into the profession I would love to be in when I am older. They have entrusted in me a lot of responsibility which is great but I never really knew about real deadlines until this internship.

For school the deadline is the due date and thats it. For internships and the real world projects have to be done before the due date and work is not getting graded to be fixed. The deadline means there are no second chances. I found this out the hard way when I was trying to get the mailing list in order for the due date. I did finish it but I did not double check for issues because in my head the work was done. Thankfully, my supervisor understands that I am a intern and helped me learn from my mistake and also fix the mistakes.

This taught me a great life lesson that I will remember as I am getting my first job and trying to do my best work. One thing I am glad about is that while I am working I wont have a part time job and taking 16 credits. Also, I will have 40 hours a week to get my work done. Even though making mistakes sometimes makes me feel embarrassed I just remember that everything is a learning experience and I can prevent it from happening again by learning from my mistakes!

Spring Break After Math

Hello WordPress World!

I made it back from Cancun, Mexico safely and it was a blast! Surprisingly enough I learned a little bit about myself and Mexico during this trip.The first thing that I learned about myself is that for a 21-year-old I am very lucky to be such an experienced international traveler. I know Mexico is not totally international but my past experiences going to Australia and Europe have trained me to be a good traveler!

Now about Mexico! If you ever choose to go to Cancun I have some wonderful ideas for you! First if you are not looking for a college spring break kind of time then do not go to Cancun during the month of march. I saw a couple of families during my time at the hotel and it is not a family place to be during this time. Plus all the prices are crazy expensive. This leads me to my next point if you go on spring break in Cancun expect to pay a lot even if you paid for an all-inclusive hotel! There are still opportunities to go out and do a lot of fun things but it will cost you! During my time there I swam with dolphins, relaxed, saw some Cancun historical sites, and took a ton of pictures! Below are some of the pictures I took!

Lastly,One thing that I found interesting is while I was in Mexico and I was on my social media I actually saw some businesses on twitter. They are not as developed at social media marketing as in the US but it is fun to see the different ways different countries advertise to their consumers.

Till Next Time!

Spring Break Baby!

As midterms come to a close it only means one thing! Spring Break!!! This year for Spring Break my friends and I decided to go to cancun. At first I was hesitant because of the bad rap that Mexico has gotten, but I have done my research and Cancun is a very safe place for tourists.

I wanted to talk about common issues when traveling and hopefully give some insight on how to solve them!

Issue #1: Packing. Packing has always been an issue for me. I love to pack my whole wardrobe because why not? What if I need something I forgot? Lets all be real only about 1/8th of our suitcase is used while we are away! Make sure to pack just some of your favorite clothes to be sure you will wear them and to be sure room is not wasted. Also you will be able to bring souvenirs back!

Issue #2: Saving Money. Having a budget while going somewhere fun is difficult, but being on spring break is also about relaxing. Don’t focus on how many things you want to fit in, plan one or two really exciting things to make sure you remember to also relax! By focusing on relaxing you will spend less money and you will still be happy! I promise!

Issue #3: Trying to get a big group to do all the same thing. Going with a group could be an issue because of multiple different personalities.Try making the group smaller to about three or four people. Insuring you have a big enough group will keep you safe while not worrying about trying to please everyone in the group.

Where are you going for spring break and what are your tips? Where ever you go for spring break, I wish you safe travels and that you have a great time!
