Dream Job!

As the image above indicates, this week’s topic is about your dream job. What is your career dream job? How do you plan to shine among all the others wanting the same dream job? What are you doing now to achieve the end goal of your “dream job”?

I do not have a certain job in mind for a dream job. I just have qualities that I would want a dream job to posses. I would like for my dream job to include traveling. Being able to see different places and not be stuck in one building all day. I would love to be able to interact with different kinds of people as well. I would want to make a difference in the world and people’s everyday lives. I have not found a job that exactly entails all of this yet, but this is what I dream of. For me to stand out from everyone else who would want this job I would say my personality and determined attitude would help me succeed landing the job. What am I doing now to achieve this dream job? I’m keeping my eyes open for it haha.

I completely agree!! I would go back to high school in a blink of an eye! Looking back things were so much easier and laid back then. However when I was in high school I thought it was rough, boy I didnt know what I was talking about!!

Time Travel!

If time travel were possible, what would you do? Where would you go? Why did you choose to visit there? If you were to go back in time, would you worry about how one small change could affect the future?

Hmmmm If I could time travel anywhere…. I would have to say it would be back in time to meet Princess Diana. I think very highly of her. She was a very strong, interesting woman in my opinion. I really dont have an exact reason of why I would travel back to meet her, I’ve just always been very interested in her. There are many people I would like to meet that came before my time she just came to mind when I read the topic for this week. Oh, and no I would not worry anout changing the future by changing the past. God made the decision for things to be the way they are, it is not up to me to change things. That is His power and duty.

Awhhh! I think that it is really sweet that you have had the same Valentines for 3 years <3 ! I dont blame you, I would never tell anyone that I did not like their presents. That is just plan rude! I would be heartbroken if my boyfriend told me that he didnt like his presents. I hope you had a great Valentines Day!!

Love is in the air! :D

This week’s topic of the week is in honor of Valentine’s Day. This day of romance has been celebrated for years and there are many theories as to how this day of love got its start. What are some of the best and worst gifts you have received on Valentine’s Day? When you receive something you don’t particularly like, do you let the giver know? If so, how?

From a public relations standpoint, if you worked for a greeting card company, florist or chocolate manufacturer, how would you persuade the public to buy from you rather than your competition?

Let me start off by saying I am a die hard HOPELESS ROMANTIC!! I love anything thoughtful, sweet, and caring and so on. I have to say the worst present I ever got was in middle school (8^th grade). I know that is young to have a valentine but it wasn’t like it was anything serious. Anyways, I got a book of poems from a guy. The guy had written them himself. I thought it was nice that he took all that time and effort to make me that gift, but I just thought/think it was a little to much. Frankly, a little on the corny side as well. A little, freaky I might add too. On the other hand I have two gifts that rank at the top. Both of these gifts I have gotten were from my daddy <3. He had a dozen long stem yellow roses delivered to my work about two years ago. It was the sweetest thing in the world! I am a major daddy’s girl. My all time favorite gift is my stuffed clown. Again my daddy gave him to me when I was a little girl, maybe 5 or so. I still sleep with him to this day. Keep in mind he is old and is showing his age but he means the world to me.  He is yellow and purple with green  and black dots. The top of his hat is missing, and some of his hair is falling out. But, I do not go anywhere to stay the night without him!!  I have to brag a little though; my boyfriend and I exchanged Valentines last night J He really plays a large role in my life. Anyways, he bought me a HUGE monkey with a red ribbon around his neck (it even matches my bedspread!!) With this monkey I got a card, and not just any card, a card that matched the monkey. He took that extra time to pick out a card just to match my monkey <3 It really made me feed special that he took that time to do that for me J

 

I would persuade customers to buy flowers from me by offering special deals on flowers. You could receive a discount of you were a college student or educator. I think it would be a good idea to offer package deals as well, for example, free shipping with a purchase of $25 or more. You could also offer more than flowers, like teddy bears, candy, or cards.

Hahaha! Love it!! I cannot stand it when people pop their necks, gross!! It makes me hurt all over!! :/ And I totally agree with you on the music part! People will come into class and I’m trying SOOOO hard to pay attention and they are jamming out loud enough for the entire room to hear them!! I know they have to feel all the people staring them down!

I agree!! I CANNOT stand someone that does not have respect for people! If you do not have any respect for other people then you do not have respect for yourself! I try so hard to still be nice to people who are rude and hateful to me, but it really gets the best of me sometimes!

Everyone has them. Some are minor, while others seem to drive you over the edge. What are they? Pet peeves. Those things that annoy us. What annoys you and why?

Naturally, I have several pet peeves!

I would have to say the thing that just sends me over the edge is someone honking the dang horn at me!! It drives me absolutely INSANE!! I cannot stand the noise.

I feel myself get red all over when it happens.

I also cannot stand when someone cuts you off mid-sentence in a conversation, Its like ummm hello was I not talking first??? Lets have some manners and respect for others please!!

Most of my pet peeves deal with people being rude or mean. I just do not think that its necessary and no one deserves it.

I do have some normal pet peeves, like when your tag it sticking out the neck of your shirt, or when YOUR BOXERS ARE HANGING OUT OF YOUR PANTS!! OR THONG FOR THAT MATTER!! Come on now!!

Well that’s my venting for tonight

This may be completely off topic, but I want a Kindle Fire SOOOOO bad!! I am currently saving my money for one because apparently Santa didn’t get that part of my letter this year haha. I have not had the chance to read Water for Elephants nor watch the movie. It is one my “to read” list though. I am like you though, I just started to read on my own time. It’s funny though, I use to HATE to read books. I guess you change as you get older!!

I baby-sat a first grader last semester while I went to school and I have to say she came home with a different library book everyday! They were required to take a test over each book that they checked out of the library so she was actually reading the books and not looking at the pictures and what-not. The point I am making is that, I agree, it seems that we read a lot more when we are younger than when we are older. I think that it is because we are not forced and required as much when we are younger than when we are in high school and college. I remember reading a lot of books when I was younger just to see how many I could read. Our school had reading competitions, the homeroom with the most books read got like a pizza party or ice cream party. We definitely didn’t get that in high school haha I have gotten where I enjoy reading a lot on a nice summer day laying out in the sun. I find it very relaxing

Movies, Movies, Movies!

This week’s topic of the week is for both the PR writing and PR & Social Media classes.

Having just returned from the Sundance Film Festival I wonder how many of you read the book before (or even after) seeing a movie. The questions for this week are, would you rather read the book, watch the movie, or both? Why? Which do you usually prefer? What, if anything, has been your favorite book to movie adaptation?

 

I prefer to read the book before I see the movie. I have had experience with both. I watched “The Last Song” before I read the book. I only made it half way through the book and quit reading because I knew what was going to happen. However, I read “Charlie St. Cloud” before watching the movie and I absolutely loved that experience. I also read all the Twilight books before the movies came out too. I actually re-read the books as the new parts of the movies come out. I may just be weird, I do not really have a reason of why I like reading the book before watching the movie. However, while on the subject of movies, I CANNOT wait until “The Vow” comes out!!!! I almost cried on the trailer!
