dreams

I’ve worked hard. I want to be here, in this industry No one can take
that away from me. No one can influence me differently. Communicating
with the world for causes that I truly believe in is what I love in my
life. Sometimes I question if I’m doing what is right. I struggle with
the fact the that if the world was to collapse the only viable skill I
would have is to write. I’m not going to save lives or teach children
how to read. I will write. I have been given a gift and I will use it.
I have the responsibility to do good with the mind that I’ve been
given. I can effect what is inside the box for good. I can change
cultures and beliefs with my words. I’ve squeezed every last bit of
knowledge out my experiences. The past years at school have taught me
more than any other event in my life. It has left me soul searching
for the true me. I’ve been put me in situations that I never thought
that I would have to deal with. It has made me aware of the
imperfections in the world. It has proven to me that I’m stronger than
all of that. I can accomplish my dreams. Sometimes dreams are unknown.
Sometimes dreams change. But the only way to get them is to work hard
and make the most of what opportunities put in front of me. And
advertising world, I hope I’ve worked hard enough to have the opportunity to
learn from you.

fruit day

Tomorrow is fruit day at work. So what did the interns do? Schedule a meeting in the cafeteria so we get first dibs. Brillant.

disapproval

As I was walking out the door to work, my dear sweat Grandma told me that I looked beautiful. Followed by this "Do yourself a favor and go to Nordstroms and get yourself a good pair of shoes." 

Apparently the older generation hasn't picked up on the beauty of Tom's yet.

Men in advertising are either tall and super skinny. Or dress like lumberjacks.

broken

I broke a wine glass at work the other day. Along with the glass, my ego is shattered.

But I'm inspired by Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber.


Brilliant.

news flash

I navigated the streets of Chicago in heels with no problems. Take that subway grates. And if you are a homeless guy, complement me on my outfit and I will most likely give you money.

pants

My Dad made my little brothers stand in front of me in this picture because I was wearing leggings as pants. Dad refuses to see the value in spandex. In my defense, I hadn't done laundry in a long while.

Just spectacular really." Sent at 10:17 PM on a Tuesday from Ryan, ACD.

Thank you Ryan. I think we should pack our bags for Canne.
