Welcome to my world of PR!

I tried not to be too misleading with the name of this blog, so what you see is what you get. This blog is about me and my functionings as a public relations major. This is my first blogging experience ever! I am an undergraduate college student working under Dr. Karen Russell while finishing up my last semester at the University of Georgia. One of our assignments this semester is to create a blog pertaining to the world of PR.

Now I'll be honest, I've successfully avoided blogging for quite a while now, but I guess it's about time for me to go ahead and throw myself out there. At first, this assignment scared the living daylights out of me. Blogging about PR? It's hard enough explaining the relevance of it to people, like my family and friends, who have no clue about what PR is in general.

Some of the most common questions I receive are: "S0, what exactly is PR?" and "What do you do with a public relations degree?"

I'll admit, before entering the program, I had the same questions. However, now that I plan on graduating with this degree in just a few short months (that's the plan anyway), I've been proud of my new-found abilities to answer these overwhelmingly redundant questions. I'm also pretty excited about blogging on PR, because what I've realized is that it's EVERYWHERE!!!
