the google search that started this blog...

As my first post to this brand new blog, I feel it's necessary to explain the reason I have come to the decision to create this. I already spend enough time tweeting, facebook snooping and myspace music searching. Why, you may wonder, would I want to get myself sucked into another online obsession?



As some of you may know, at 22 years old, I have been recently asking myself the question "What am I going to do when I grow up?!" When I thought about this same question five years ago, I thought I knew the answer. It seems safe to admit I was wrong. Although I have enjoyed the past few years meeting some amazing people and making them look beautiful, I think God has something else in mind for me besides working in the beauty industry. I love doing hair and I don't regret one thing I have done thus far, but it's time for a fresh start.



I have started brainstorming all the things in my every day life that I love to do more than anything. The list includes: communicating with people, writing, laughing, picking out fun outfits to wear, listening to music, talking on my phone, and googling. I want a career that involves all of my favorite things. How else can you find yourself truly enjoying your life? As many of you may know, I have been thinking a lot about becoming a Journalist, although I have heard it's not the most booming field in this economy. Now I think I want to aim for something a little more specific. While sitting home on this Sunday night, I randomly decided to Google "how to become a publicist". Thanks to the information from ehow.com, I have learned some quick facts about that career:

1. To become a publicist, it's best to get a bachelor's degree in: English, Communications, or Journalism (My top 3 majors of choice!)

2.Obviously, you would eventually be working with an author, musician, or actor. (looove it.)

3.To become a publicist, you should work on developing your writing skills. A good way to do that is to create a blog.



So here you go, folks! I welcome you to become part of the first step to my journey as a publicist. It's going to be a long one, but I plan on having many exciting adventures along the way; all of which will be accurately recorded here. After a few posts, you will begin to truly believe the fact that I am not your ordinary blonde. Oh, and I have big dreams. :)
