PR Real World

I absolutely LOVED PR Real World this past Friday.  Getting up at 4:30 and driving two hours was NOT fun, but they had a nice breakfast for us once we got there.  It also makes it better when you like all the people you are with (PR Admin :)) 

I also really like that we got to choose which sessions we wanted to attend every time.  The first one I went to was about internships and it offered me tons of useful information and interview techniques to remember.  This was great since my internship is coming up this summer!

At lunch, we sat with two ladies from UPS.  They were telling us all about what they did and introducing us to new people.  They were so nice and it was refreshing to sit with such outgoing and real people!

I got a lot more out of Real World than I really expected to and I am so glad I went!  I am already looking forward to next year, since I will be looking for a job then!

So, I'm trying to get an internship at Cuscowilla for this coming summer and I am very excited! I have worked at Reynods Plantation for two years and just love the setting out at Lake Oconee and would love to live out there.

Jamie Murray, a former PR student here at GCSU is who I would be working with and I also previously worked with her at Reynolds, in the same golf shop before she graduated.  Event planning is something I know I would really enjoy, the only downside being that it involves working most weekends.

I'm still keeping my options open, but I am really hoping that this will work out.   I'm excited to have a grown-up job this summer :).

This week, I found an article on a new website that MSN is starting.  The website is called Wonderwall and it is all about celebrity entertainment and news.  I know we all love hearing the latest celeb. gossip, but do we raelly need another entertainment news source? We already have the 24/7 tv channel, E!, and all the shows like Entertainment Tonight, TMZ, Access Hollywood, I could go on and on.  And all of these shows have their own websites too.

I think that our society has become addicted to celebrities and cannot get enough.  What some people forget, is that they are people too and do NOT want to be bothered every second of their day.  Granted, celebrities are public figures, but give them a break sometimes.

The paparazzi are everywhere these days, following the stars and many times, putting them in dangerous situations.  If I were to have people with camera's following my every move, I know I would go crazy!!

I just think it is ridiculous that a website that is often known for its news, feels the need to have celebrity gossip website.

There are several celebrities that I do not care for, but I still think they deserve their right to privacy and this website is  just one more way to exploit their lives.
