For the past couple of weeks, I have been looking for a summer internship. I have never been through this internship process before, so I was pretty confused about what to do at the start. The first step I did was to meet with the professor who deals with all internships. He is pretty much an expert in the field as well. I also met with my academic advisor when scheduling classes and mentioned finding an internship to him as well. It was a pretty stressful process for me. I was a double major in sport management and public relations so technically I had to do two internships to get my two internship credits. After talking to my parents and my public relations professor we decided that it would be best to drop my public relations major and make it a minor.

I just don't really see myself enjoying a job in a PR department. Now that I dropped my PR major, I only have to focus on getting a sport management internship. When thinking about getting an internship, I wanted to get an internship in Ohio and around my current location. The first option that I thought of was to apply for the Toledo Mud Hens in Toledo, OH.

I want to focus on the advantages. Some of the advantages of social media include being able to build your brand, communicating with family and friends, and capturing memories. The most important advantage from the chapter for me is being able to connect with family and friends while also collecting memories along the way. Family and friends are two of the biggest components of my life and they always will be. Being away from my family and friends during college can be very stressful. I am very guilty of relying on my mom and dad to do many things for me. Even though I am a sophomore now, I still am trying to adapt and settle in to do things on my own. Even though I struggle at times, the access to social media has given me the opportunity to connect with my family and friends so I feel like I have a little bit o...
Noah, that is big-time! Super happy for you! After having an internship last summer, it was nothing short of amazing. I learned so much about marketing and the ways to better myself. Good luck!
