A current event in my life is trying to make the best out of the information and the opportunities that college present sme. I'm slightly struggling with figuring out what to do next. Granted Im not a senior so Im not completely panicked, however I want to make sure that I get the best possible start towards being successful.
I want to to an intership, yet I want to study abroad, yet I dont wanna miss whats goin on here, however Im gonna need a break period for myself! There is so much that Im trying to do and accomplish, so my current event is making sure to efficiently utilize my resources. LOL....Career Center, my Major Department, Networking Skills.
I know that this isnt exactly what people think about when seeing current events, but its just as current as the McCain v.p. scandals, elections, hip hop news, or national politics and drama but hey, its current and close to home. I know everybody is struggling with this, sometimes there are so few people giving you information on the next thing thats best for you to accomplish. And sometimes by the time we figure it out its too late. So hopefully I dont reach that too late point!!! .....and heed my warning those reading this now..lol (hit the library, talk to professors, look up interships..) Hope I follow my own advice.....we'll see..

Cover Letters.....
When I was first directed to the website I honestly hated the layout.No offense, and I know its's off subject, but it was so boring. The regular white background and default font, made the information little hard for me to read.
On another note, once I did get the information read I felt that the information was to the point and easy to read and understand. It also helped me to clear up any ambiguities that I might have had about cover letters. Like when to use them, how, the correct way to format them, etc. I liked the fact that they had the best ad worst ways to use a cover letter, and also the sample. Its not much that i can disagree with in this best I feel that I don't know enough to understand how prospective employers view cover letters, and what suites them best. Therefore I just take into consideration everything told, and do the things I'm best comfortable with.
All-in-All, its pretty good and useful information that I would possibly take into consideration when doing my letter.

Ten Years From Now....
Ten years.....when I was younger ten years sounded like an eternity, but now ten years sounds a little closer and a lot less extreme. However, Im still not exactly sure how to answer the question. The fact that its so close, yet still equally far makes it difficult. I've always been a planning person. Yet I find myself planning just enough for the next week, or the next year, but the next few years escape me. I like to go with the flow and see where I end up. lol To a certain extent, but I still have general goals that Im trying to get to.
So...Once I graduate from grad school, thats 4 years down. (lol)...I would like to work in a consulting firm, being contracted out to different companies as and I/O pysch consultant. Then once I am good on my feet with-in mmy company, I would like to branch off into having my own consulting firm. I feel that this is a very important step in my life and career because success always comes through ownership. Whether you own your business, idea, or home owership is a legacy you can pass down through generations to ensure their success as well.
By then I also would like to have done even more traveling by then. I would like to live some places like Spain, Italy, or even Bahamas or Greece, just to have some experience living and enjoying life somewhere else.
Hopefully, in that time I will have found a wonderful balence between my family and work life. Although I would really like to be successful in my job I want a wonderful family and I would love to enjoy life as a mother, wife, aunt, grandmother, all of the above one day! Its important for me to watch my family grow mentally, physically, spirtually and emotionally. But what's most important to me is that we do it together. I love the family I already have and I just waiting for the chance to start my own. So hopefully in ten years I can definately have all that and more!!! :)
