Communication Arts Showcase

Good Evening, Ladies!

Tonight I had my Communication Arts Showcase!! All of the COM seniors had the opportunity to talk about their internship sites to the campus community. We had poster presentations set up outside of Knott auditorium and faculty, staff, and other students walked around and got to hear the stories about what we've been doing this past semester!

I've mentioned it before on here but I will say it again, I am a promotions and events intern with 98 Rock. Here is a picture of me next to my poster presentation table:

Many majors have similar showcases for their seniors, so it's definitely something to look forward to as a Notre Dame student! After the poster board presentations, the members of AWC (The Association of Women in Communications) were given certificates and the seniors were awarded their cords they will be able to wear at Commencement! I can't wait!

Have a good night!

Class Projects

It's time again for another look into what's happening in my life! These past few weeks have been filled with working on class projects! My Media Literacy class is filming an Oral History on the introduction of media (radio, film, and television specifically). I have found our interviewees and the next step is to film! I will hopefully have the link for you when it is all said and done.

For my Digital & Social Media Skills course we are working on a social media campaign for the rest of the semester! My friend Shy and I are in the same group and came up with "Signature Cause." Our campaign is highlighting fashion brands (clothing, jewelry, and cosmetics) that give back to a cause in some way! Our first few weeks have been pretty successful! This week we are highlighting Under Armour! We made a fun video with a current NDMU athlete talking about the brand! I'm sure you've all seen the "Things _____ People say" videos. We had some fun with that theme! Check it out:

Then for my practicum class we will be having our Communication Arts Showcase next Thursday, April 26th!! This event if for the Com Arts seniors to showcase what they have done at their internship sites as well as different projects they've completed over their Notre Dame careers! I have to complete a tri-fold poster for that as well!

I only have 16 more days of classes left! It's hard to believe because I've been so busy with different class assignments (as you can see!). I'm doing my best to savor these last few days walking around campus in the warmer weather! Hope you all are doing well! :)

Easter Break

Time for another update!! Today's the last day of Easter break and I wanted to recap some of the fun things I did. I went to a concert at the Baltimore Soundstage, a great venue downtown,  and before hand I got to spend some time walking around the harbor with my boyfriend. Here's a picture of us, in our matching sunglasses haha!

  

Then on Friday I worked Orioles Opening Day for my internship. Here's a picture of what the stadium looked like before the sold out game!! 

Of course I had to dye Easter eggs as well!! I love all the bright colors of spring!

And obviously there was Easter yesterday!! Here is a picture of my oldest sister and myself before our yummy family dinner!

And in case you were wondering the Easter bunny DID visit my house! I got some tasty chocolate in my basket! Lucky me! I hope you all are doing well and enjoyed the holiday.

Weekend Update

This weekend and beginning of next week is going to be very busy for me! Tonight I am DJing a dance on campus, with my co-manager of WNDM, that is benefiting My Sister's Place (an organization that NDM has a strong volunteer relationship with). Tomorrow afternoon I will be working my first ever wedding!! I am helping out the Conference Services department on campus and can't wait, I love weddings! On Sunday it's ACCEPTED STUDENT OVERNIGHT!! I'm so looking forward to going downtown again with my fellow student workers and the accepted students which will hopefully become the future Notre Dame class of 2016!! If you are coming you'll have a blast, I promise!

Then when the week kicks into gear I have my internship, work, OPA meeting and Big/Little dinner. For Tuesday I was asked my Stephanie Cavill to be the student presenter at Crab Crawl, an annual event where guidance counselors all over the country come and visit colleges in the Baltimore Collegetown area. I made a video for my slide show and wanted to share it with you all! :) Have a good weekend!

The greatest show on earth!

Hi all!

I'm wrapping up my spring break and just wanted to let you that the circus is in town!! I went on opening night this past Wednesday! It was a blast. I also went to the free pre-show an hour before it began and got to see an elephant up close! (barely 5 feet in front of me!)

Then I got these awesome clown glasses! I'm a pirate clown.. it's a new breed!

I hope everyone is enjoying the official start to spring!! Ttys!

Spring Time!

It sure feels like Spring in Baltimore! This past week has been beautiful, especially around campus. I've been studying outside on the benches by the fountain every chance I have in between classes. I also bought a bike off of my friend this week. I rode on a bike trail up by my house today and enjoyed the weather some more! Here is a picture of it:

Spring Break also started for me on Thursday night. Friday morning I got up bright and early (at 2:30 A.M. to be exact) to work the live broadcast for the 98 Rock morning show. Life of an intern.. They were gearing up for St. Patrick's day at Looney's Pub in Canton (a neighborhood in Baltimore). The mayor of Baltimore, Stephanie-Rawlings Blake even stopped by! She normally calls in monthly to the morning show but this time she did an in person interview! It was pretty cool.

There she is with her radio headset on and some green for St. Patty's Day! I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday! TTYS. :)

New Presidante!

As you may have heard NDMU's current president is retiring this June. It was announced last week that Dr. Connelly would be the newest president! After the announcement, I enjoyed some lunch with my friends before my class and he and his family ate in the dining hall as well. He walked around to each table of students and introduced himself. He was very friendly and approachable, I'm excited for the future of NDMU knowing it is in his hands. I was interviewed with a few of my fellow students by the Catholic Review, check out the article here: http://www.catholicreview.org/article/home/it-s-a-boy-2

Scholarship Dinner was the following evening, after the announcement. It was so great to get to talk with the prospective students and their families!! Since then, I DJ-ed Winterfest, Notre Dame's annual indoor carnival, with my co-manager for WNDM, caught up on some homework, saw Godspell, the musical the school is currently putting on, and was in a music video for my friends local pop punk band! 


PHEW!! 


I also received a packet from school about the details for graduation! It feels so real!! I hope everyone has been doing well.
