Media Relations Summer Internship with Busch Gardens!

I'm really supposed to be packing for Chicago right now, but I just HAD to blog before I left.

It is just CRAZY how things fall into place. This week I was offered a media relations summer internship with Busch Gardens! Considering that I thought the interview was the worst one of my life (due to a button that popped open in "that" area"), I was shocked when I got the phone call. I literally gave a high-pitched, "Really?" And as per usual, Kristine was right next to me when I got the phone call. Seriously, every milestone happens around her - gotta keep her around ;)

Nevertheless, I am excited. Nadim interned with Busch Gardens previously and loved it. HUGE shout-out to him for recommending me! Anyway, I'll be working closely with the PR team on concert series like Viva La Musica, writing blogs, escorting/briefing media, and assisting with media lists and pitches. A summer in Tampa - hmm, who would have thought!

This past week was a fun one. I was an avid supporter of intramural soccer and softball, and I went to the Strawberry Festival with some friends. Sadly, I bought strawberries for my parents, then left them in my fridge this afternoon. Typical Stephanie, I know. 

Oh! And I also worked this event called Grad Stampede - an event where graduating seniors order their cap and gowns, announcements, and tassels. There was a company there to take complimentary pictures of students in their cap and gowns. Naturally, I took some pictures along with friends. I wasn't expecting to take photos, but I just gotta say - I loved that my red tassel matched my red lips that day! Haha! I'll be sharing those as soon as I get them via email. Seeing my friends in their cap and gowns, and even myself in it, gave me chills. 

This is happening. And it's happening  really fast!
