One of my short term goals was to unpack from college, and I'm happy to report that that finally happened (a month after getting home...but it happened!) I still haven't created the freshman year scrapbook page, but I've pushed that to a long term goal.
And as for my long term goals, I'm doing pretty well! My internship is going incredibly well, and although I didn't know much about the internet world going into it, I'm really lucky to be learning so much and be delegated so much responsibility.
My first big project within the company was to help my mentor plan our first rooftop party, (which went fabulously!) and I had so much fun doing it. Event planning is the best. I've also been creating a contact outreach list for potential bloggers to pitch to, which is helping me learn about the prominent blogs in the digital industry.
One fun part of my job is getting to know the other interns. There are 10 of us in total, scattered in different departments, though I'm the sole PR intern. We were just given a huge project - we get to handle all of the branding, marketing, and PR for an app that was just released - and I am so excited to take it on! We get to pitch our brief to one of the heads of the company, and it'll also be an unbelievable addition to my résumé.
So, that's the internship. Other goals I've gotten to cross off my list include visiting my roommate, Amanda, in Massachusetts this past week, and starting to exercise frequently. We went shopping on Newbury Street in Boston, and I got some awesome deals and gorgeous clothes at Urban Outfitters and H&M (including 2 blazers (black/beige lace), 2 tops, tan sandals, a cream-colored flowy skirt). We also went to the gym, where I updated my now-awesome workout playlist, and I cleaned off my treadmill when I got home, which is now ready for use!
I started eating healthy, fell off the wagon, but am now slowly hopping back onboard. The workouts are making me feel guilty for carbs and fried foods though, which is a good thing.
My summer reading list is going really well. I finished If You Have to Cry Go Outside by Kelly Cutrone (and LOVED it!) and I also finished Bossypants by Tina Fey (which I highly recommend). I started reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett, and I'm really enjoying it so far, although I'm still at the beginning.
In terms of learning to cook (AKA watching a lot of Barefoot Contessa), and I'm doing both. Well, mostly watching Barefoot Contessa, although yesterday I made chocolate-covered strawberries as per Ina Garten's recipe (one of the easiest things I've ever made, and delicious. Highly recommend!)
I served them for dessert at Father's Day brunch this morning, and they were a big hit! I also made a fruit platter:
Goals I still need to complete include visiting DC (trip booked for July Fourth weekend!), working a fashion show (if anyone has any suggestions for how to accomplish this, please let me know!), and continue wearing heels often (though I'm on my way).
Happy Father's Day!
