Well hello everyone! I know it’s
been a while since I’ve posted and I apologize. Between all the traveling we’ve
been doing and the start of our internships, I haven’t had time to do much at
all. So let me catch you up on what’s been happening lately. We spent spring
break and mini break traveling to Rome, Florence, Pisa, Barcelona, Madrid,
Salzburg, and Munich. We had the spring break of a lifetime and I’ll never
forget it. Needless to say, I feel very well traveled now. If you asked me to
pick a favorite city, I would probably be between Rome, Florence, and
Barcelona. I was absolutely captivated by the blue skies of Italy and the
beautiful beaches of Spain.
Two weeks
ago, we began our internships. I’m interning at Maxus Global, one of the
world’s fastest growing media agencies. Maxus does marketing for several
high-profile clients, one of which is L’Oreal. On our first day, I was placed
on the L’Oreal Paris team. This means that I will spend my six weeks at Maxus
working with the Paris team. Since L’Oreal is a new client, I have the
opportunity to see the initial marketing strategies come to life. I’ve already
marked my calendar for July so I can look up the advertisement I’ve watched
them create for UK television. So far, I’ve been able to participate in research,
strategizing, and marketing. Working 9 to 5 has definitely given me a better
understanding of what it’s like to be an adult. I’ve learned a ridiculous
amount during these past two weeks and I know I’ll learn so much more in the
weeks to come.
Even though
our internships are incredible, I’m now painfully aware that time is passing.
We only have four weeks of our internships left to complete and one final week
in London once we’re finished. Not an hour passes when I don’t think about the
clock ticking. I find myself filled with a sense of "carpe diem"- an urgent
desire to live every moment to the fullest. We’re doing as much as we can in
the little time that we have left. I know that soon I’ll be back in the United
States and even though I can’t wait to see my family and friends, I’ll miss
London terribly. This has truly been the experience of a lifetime and I look
forward to making more memories during our last few weeks.
I’ve
realized that having a real job means going to bed before midnight or being
exhausted the next day, so I’m going to bed. Goodnight!
