Talking, thinking, writing, wishing. This semester has had me on my toes. Before the spring semester began I had an interview in Dallas for a position I was really interested in. Timing circumstances got in the way and I was unable to accept the position, but boy did it make me feel good that I had … Continue reading
A Work in Progress
I’ve been thinking what it means to be a work in progress. Applying for “big girl” jobs, I’ve tried thinking realistically about who I want to be now that my options are the most limitless they’ve ever been. I could jet-set off to a foreign land and start afresh with no claims, join the Peace … Continue reading
#RecruitmentPlague2013
If you’re in college or have friends who’ve recently been apart of sorority recruitment, you’ve probably seen this hashtag more times than not over the past week. When squeely young women treked back to school early last week they brought back with them illness, and gained lower immune defenses. Sleepless nights spent in chapter rooms … Continue reading
Easy Guac
I can’t claim to be the best cook around, but when I do choose to put my hands into something it’s usually pretty easy and of course, tasty. Today’s concoction is Mom’s easy guacamole. It takes three-to-four ingredients to put together this Tex-Mex snack and the two minutes it takes to whip it together is … Continue reading
For the Love of Horses
When Dr. Heidi Marcum and her sister Mary began taking care of horses in 1999 they planned on keeping up with two for leisurely rides on their family’s property north of Waco, Texas. Two horses quickly became four, and then seven, and eventually turned their collection of horses into well-over 40. Each animal on their … Continue reading
Image Repair: Literature Review
So this literature review is both easier and harder than I first realized. It’s one thing to brainstorm awesome extramarital affairs that are somehow tied into politics, it’s another to find peer-reviewed articles about their image repair strategies post-crisis. Thusfar, Katie Burns and I have discovered the Clinton and Weiner affairs should be fairly easy … Continue reading
John Edwards Affair: Image Repair Tactics
John Edwards’ affair and campaign funds scandal was not tactfully dealt with using image repair strategies. It is abundantly evident that Edwards, although consistently in the public eye, has not apologized for his affair or taken responsibility for his actions. Broken by the National Enquirer, the Edwards affair was dealt with as a public spectacle … Continue reading
Foundation Dinner and Thanks Giving
I love my Student Foundation friends. They’ve introduced me to parts of Baylor and college life that I didn’t realize I was missing out on until I was apart of it. When I stepped into the Ed Crenshaw building junior year I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into. I expected to network … Continue reading
Always a bridesmaid, never the bride…
Okay, I promise I’m not nearly as whiney about my friends getting engaged as the headline suggests. My beautiful big got engaged to her perfect guy yesterday evening. I was privileged to help Breck find flowers, the perfect spot on their bridges to propose and to be there for the proposal. I can’t explain how … Continue reading
My Dreams for Yo Dreams
We came into the Yo Dreams Yogurt project when the store was first opening its doors. For this reason, I think our whole public relations team has taken on the company as our baby. The overall goal of our PR plan is creating a substantial market for Yo Dreams on the Baylor Universitycampus. Every time I’ve visited Yo Dreams … Continue reading
