Famous Last Words: So Close Yet So Far


This week I realized how fast the end of the semester is approaching. This semester has seen to fly by. I'm ok and prepared for the end of the semester in a couple of my classes such as Indian Epics because I am ahead but in some of my other classes I'm terrified because I still have so much left to do! So, yes, the end of the semester is so close yet so far away. 

Something that I thought I would share this week in my "Famous Last Words" is something that one of my professors has made me realize or rather connected the dots on something I think it really important. My PR research professor has stressed to my class all semester about how it's not about the grades that you get in a class it is about the process of getting those grades. At first I was like "yeah, yeah.... ok what ever." But now I really do believe it, it just took me a while. 

In the past I have had a hard time managing my stress levels, so this semester I decided I was going to have more fun and try not to be as strict with my homework and studying times. In stead I have been trying to give all of my attention to my classes while I am physically in them during lectures and it has really paid off. I'm getting better grades, I'm less stressed and I feel great because I'm not as stressed. 

It is kind of sad it took me this long into my college career to realize this, but college really is about the experience. It's about gaining new friends, learning how to mater multitasking and doing things outside of what you are normally comfortable with. 

P.S. This weekend I am getting a baby corgi. She is nine weeks old and absolutely adorable.

    Hi there!
    First of all, that dog is adorable and that is so exciting! Like you, I feel as though as I have so much left to do in some of my classes so it is a little stressful. Also like you, I am definitely trying to be the most efficient with my time because it's my last semester and I want to take it all in while I can! Keep it up and finish up the semester strong!

    Hi! I love getting to read people's famous last words. I feel like I can get a true insight into their lives rather than just read the way they write a story. Just like you and Natalie, I feel like there is not enough time in the day to do anything! I hope that I can find time as these last few weeks approach to enjoy things aside from school.

Introduction to a PR Student

Hi, my name is Chelsea Journee and I am from The Woodlands, Texas. The Woodlands is about 30 minutes north of Houston, Texas. My family and I have lived in the same house my entire life so it was a big change for me when I decided to go to college in a different state. I am currently a first semester senior (by hours) at OU. I am studying public relations and my minor is general business. On campus I am pretty involved. I am in a social sorority, I am an account manager for Lindsey + Asp (OU's student-run PR and ad agency) and I am also the treasurer for PRSSA (Public Relations Student Society of America). (Personal Photo: My sorority family) (Personal Photo: PRSSA executive leadership outside of Gaylord Hall) I enjoy lounging around with my dogs while watching Netflix in my free-time. My dog's names are Jasper and Snickers. Jasper is a miniature dashchund that loves to lay in anyone's lap and we don't really know what Snickers is because we rescued her...

Week 3 Story: The Encounter with the Beast

On a sunny and warm Sunday morning, Brothers Harry and Henry were taking a nice walk with Harry's wife in a neighborhood next to theirs. They talked and laughed like any family members would do on a leisure filled Sunday morning. In the distance Harry's wife noticed something weird. A patch in the sky was gloomy and black, unlike the sky all above them. Curiously, Harry, Henry and Harry's wife walked towards the direction of the dark patch in the sky. The weather became chilly and gave them all goose bumps. Something was off. It was as if sadness and death has taken over the area that was just under the dark sky. But the three were still intrigued so they continued to walk towards the dark sky. Suddenly there was a loud booming noise and out from a patch of trees a creature slowly emerged and its bright red eyes stared straight at them. "Don't move..." whispered Henry. "We need to run..." Harry whispered back. From the shock of seeing the...
