Expect the Unexpected

Today, I had to interview someone at UF for my Pricipals of PR class. I went into this interview thinking it would take about 30 mins and would just be very matter of fact. I was given 10 questions and all I had to do was ask my interviewee the questions, take some notes, and leave. Well... an hour and a half later I was leaving my interview... needless to say it was NOT what I expected. Some may say unfortunately, but in this case fortunately for me, my interviewee was very talkative, in a good way. This made me so excited and I found myself asking questions that were not assigned to me. Not only did I find so much out about this person I just met, but she helped me, a lot. It is kinda crazy actually, I just created this blog, yesterday and what happens today. This woman says "Start a blog", I was surprised. My next question to her, "what do I blog about?"

Well in the past year I have done a total 180 with my career plan. I was a junior (yes JUNIOR) in college and starting my first year in my graduate program of Occupational Therapy (many don't know what this is so lets just classify it as a health science major) I started classes and absolutely HATED them!! Once I discovered how unhappy I was I could not imagine making a career of this. Yes, I would/could have made good money, but is that worth hating your career over? NO! Anyways, I changed my major to Sport and Event Management which is... different... in the best way possible. From the first day of class I loved it, was much happier, and excited with where my life was headed. Honestly, I dont know exactly or even relatively where my life is headed, but I know I made the right choice this time.

So... expect the unexpected, and another great tip I got from my interview "Don't be afraid to put yourself out there!"

Whats next to come? ...Homework.
