About :
I am a 2011 Penn State College of Communications graduate. I am an aspiring public relations professional and currently a Junior Account Executive at Rose Communications. After dedicating four years to helping cure pediatric cancer, philanthropy has worked its way into a large part of my heart. I have a serious weakness for the Nordstrom's shoe department, frozen yogurt and people who use proper grammar. I may be a born and raised New Yorker but don't you dare ask me to say coffee or water. This is my first time blogging since I had a Xanga so my skills are a little rusty. All opinions and thoughts are my own.

March Madness: Sometimes Sixteen Isn’t So Sweet

What You Need to Know About March Madness

March Madness has nothing to do with the preparations for spring break, daylong drinking holidays like Mardi Gras and St. Patrick’s Day, or studying for midterms. It is about the best three weeks of any sport — the NCAA Tournament. The best of college basketball. Even if you’ve never watched a single minute of any game all season, you can still enjoy the Big Dance. It may be the only thing your friends are talking about the next few weeks so it may be a good idea to learn some important terms.

CollegeCandy’s Guide to On-Campus Jobs

Going to college is so much more than hauling your butt out of bed before noon on a Friday to sit in the back of a lecture hall and attempt the daily Sudoku. In order to even be considered for a job in this economy, students are expected to pull great grades, take on multiple leadership roles on campus and still manage to avoid going completely broke (not to mention swing awesome summer internships).

Celebrating the High Holidays Away From Home

For many Jewish college freshmen, this will probably be the first time you are celebrating the High Holidays away from home. Many schools, mine included, still have classes during Rosh Hashannah and Yom Kippur. It is definitely a big change from observing these big days at home. You can bet your laundry money that your dining hall won’t be providing lox and a shmear to break the fast, but that shouldn’t stop you from experiencing these days in a way that makes your feel comfortable.

One Month Challenge: Facebook Diet, Week 3

Week 3 has been extremely rough. I was preparing to move back into my apartment and start my senior year of college, avoiding the dreaded g-word that happens at the end of the best four years of a person’s life.
