The Beginning of College

So here i am standing in my student union, bored with life and wondering what to do. Probably something an average freshman does occasionally, but its times like this i wish i was living in the student dorms. (Don't let mom know i admitted to wanting to live in the dorms or ill have to admit that she was right) Look at me just rambling about nothing; i suppose i should introduce myself.

My name is Liz and i go to school at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. This is my first semester here and i am (technically) double majoring in Communication and Music Performance. I started this blog for a couple reasons. 1) To document my college life, after all, im sure it will be funny to look back and read what i was thinking as a freshman, right? 2) To improve my writing skills. 3) For times like this when i should really be doing homework, but could never bring myself to focus.

So back to where i am; standing in my student union. Right now it is approximately 5:45. A whole hour before i need to be where i need to be, which is at the Zelazo Center for a concert that i will be playing in later tonight. So far i have called approximately ten people to see what they are doing in hopest that maybe SOMEONE could help me kill time...and approximately ten people turned me down/ didn't answer their phone. Poop.

So here i am blogging my boredom which i am sure your very interested in but i did find out something really awesome today. Apparently, this PR Agency called BVK is right next to my house. Sweet? I think so...i am probably going to volunteer there in their SERVE program. I found out about this agency from PRSSA (Public Relations Student Society of America), this club i joined the first week of school. I am not entirely sure what SERVE actually does...but it is somewhere along the lines of volunteering to do ad campaigns for causes that don't have enough funding...like teen pregnancies, aids, and good stuff like that. I am pretty psyched about it, not only because i am going to be immersing myself in a pretty competitave firm right away in freshman year, but because i get to work with one of the head guys in the firm...i think his name is Gary. Anyways...i am stoked and i am sure i will definitely write about what goes on with that later..

Speaking of Public Relations, i suppose i should mention that i am so in LOVE with PR and everything that has to do with it. That is exactly what i want to do with my life right now and i can't wait to start taking all PR classes...if anyone who reads this knows anything about PR please let me know so that i can have all the advice i can get...I suppose this leaves the field pretty wide open for whatever. lol.

Since i am doing PR as a career, i suppose you're wondering why i am also majoring in Music Performance. Well the reason for the music thing is because i got a scholarship, but i have realized in the past couple of weeks that my heart is just not as into music as it needs to be for me to major in it. Does that make sense?? I can't really explain it...but to sum it all up: I have never practiced 3 hours a day...i don't practice 3 hours a day now, and i never want to/will practice 3 hours a day no matter how big of a guilt trip you give me.

Well folks...thats all for now..i kind of want to read this handout thing i got at BVK today. And i am sick of stading up...so thats all for now...See Yahh:)
