On the Search

Still on a search for the right job I have been typing away, emailing away, and going on numerous interviews. Walking the mean streets of New York I have had zero success thus far beyond learning what jobs I DO NOT like. After all my training at Syracuse University specifically S.I Newhouse School of Communication I have realized I love Public Relations. No other job will satisfy my desire to maintain occupied and active.

The one thing I have enjoyed about these numerous interview has been the ability to dress up. I love my job at Starbucks however, I would love a change in scenery and an opportunity to wear something that wasn't black and drenched in the smell of coffee. After five years of a job, I'd like to start working towards my career; getting sucked up into the mundane acceptance of having a job just will not satisfy me, not at all. So as I continue to search for a place of employment besides Starbucks feel free to email me if you hear of any opportunities at lstorres01@gmail.com.

While you are at it you should check out my fellow communications graduate and friend Katie at http://katiegarton.wordpress.com.

Now What?

As four years flew by faster than I would've thought I cannot believe that all that hard work, the sweat and tear and it's already over. Yes I am officially a S.I Newhouse, Syracuse University Alumni!!! As part of the class of 2010, I could not be more proud of all the people I walked across the stage with this past weekend May 15-16, 2010 was the ending of the BEST four years of my life and the beginning of the unknown.
As exciting and accomplished as I felt right after graduation, it dawned upon me as I drove away from my what I began to call my "home," it was over. What I had feared my freshmen year, had now become a place of comfort I had made it my home. My family was now there, yes we may not be the same skin color, like the same food or even have the same opinion about things; but we became a family against all odds.

Unlike the family we are born into we choose this family, they are the ones we seek in rough times, when we need to cry and they are the ones we jump on their couch at 2am because life just came crumbling down on us. Yes they are my family my girlies and they will no longer be 5 minitues away. I will miss my girlies and even some guys. The ones who I called at the most random hours just to be comforted. The ones who let me sleep on their couch because I didn't want to be alone those are the things I will miss the most. Although great friendships NEVER end, the idea of no longer being able to walk five minutes down the road has finally hit me. It only took two days to realize that this would never be the same, and i must now learn to live without this comfort. Thank God for technology because I will be attached to my Blackberry as though it's my only life line and connection to my friends.

Many warn that college is the best times of your life, but never do they warn how hard saying goodbye will be. They don't warn that the saying farewell and locking your door will feel like locking away the BEST years of your life. Now that I've said my goodbyes it is time to figure out the rest of my life. As i figure out life I'll keep you posted as now there not much taking up my time. After 16 years of school, after school activities, friends and work, my life activities have shrunken considerably and now I seem to have all the time in the world. For now I shall be residing in Syracuse once again until I figure it out.
