May your college memories last as long as your student loan payments

It seems like just yesterday I was walking to parties on Brickle road with my One Card around my neck, wondering how everyone knew I was a Freshman. If the permanent look of confusion on my face didn’t give it away, the lanyard definitely did. Although I have long since done away with my lanyard, my confusion remains. How did four years go by so fast? Why am I so old? What am I doing with my life?

I am happy to announce that I have found the answer to one of these questions! (Not the meaning of life.) Throughout my time in the Communication studies department I have become especially fond of advertising. My favorite projects were those that included client work and the creation of advertising campaigns. After looking for a job in  advertising for the past few months, I have accepted a position doing marketing and advertising work for Reliant Marine, here in Wilmington. So the answer to the question of what am I doing with my life is… ADVERTISING! Shout out to Dr. Persuit for making her advertising classes so engaging! #appliedlearning #eteal4life

Here’s a short video I made about my time here at UNCW:
