Define Yourself

A little bit of inspiration on this Friday-

I found this and it really resonated with me. Of course I've heard it before but it's really more applicable than ever at this point right now. I can honestly say that this semester has been full of learning experiences both in and out of the classroom. 

And I have to remind myself that mistakes are an inevitable fact of life. They do not define me as a person. What defines me is how I learn from my mistakes- what I take away from the experiences.

That's what's important.

Net(Working) Girl

I've officially grown up: I just made a LinkedIn profile

I knew that I'd be making a profile sooner or later, with job fairs and connections becoming a huge part of these next years at school. I didn't think I'd be making one this early on, though; a sequence of events pushed me to just go for it! I don't quite have it all figured out yet, but I'm excited to network with companies and people that I meet. 

And who knows the connections I'll make? One girl, who is also a freshman at Purdue, shared a story of meeting two Disney Imagineers who offered her a job/ internship next summer based on her maturity. They connected on LinkedIn and now she already has a job set up before her first college class. LinkedIn is really the largest form of networking and is so beneficial in the world of work as well as college.

So, now that I feel like an old, working woman, I'm also excited for this growing up!

Here's to college, life on my own, learning, loving, and experiencing everything I possibly can..

connect with me!
