Studying PR Has Taught Us EVERYTHING!

By Lizzy Fillback and Robin Ezell
    There are so many definitions for the word - college.
    According to Merriam-Webster, college is defined as a  board, brotherhood, chamber, club, association, congress, consortium, council, fellowship, fraternity, guild, institute, institution, league, order, organization, society, sodality, sorority
    For us college, has been all of these things and so much more. As sorority sisters, public relations majors and dear friends, our college life has been about learning life lessons, reaching goals and discovering our true selves. 
    As young PR practitioners, the path to attaining our degree has been no different. College has been the learning experience we needed to become who we are today.
    As we reflect on the last four years, we remember long nights spent preparing for presentations and projects that we filled with our "blood, sweet and tears."
    Our dreams seemed like unreachable goals in the beginning, but we're so thankful we had then. Because of the support we have received from professors and mentors, we now know that our goal of becoming polished PR professionals is close to becoming reality.
     Upon graduation this May, our paths that were once appeared the same will become different. Our lives are now much more than simple presentations and learning experiences. Our futures appear more complex - and exciting. As we spend our time applying for jobs, waiting to hear from potential employers, searching for apartments, debating whether or not we are old enough to handle caring for a pet, waiting for that big proposal (BTW: congrats to Lizzy, who recently became engaged), we can't help but smile.
     As we prepare to graduate, we look back on college and realize it has taken on new meaning. Thank goodness for college. Without it, we would have never become who we are today.
    Hopefully, you're asking yourself now...are you ready to become what you want to be?
Love in PR,
