Back in the Game!

Hi all! It has been awhile since I've last blogged, reason being is that it was summer and I was working a ton. School is back on which means I'm ready to brush up on my PR skills and get these classes rolling again.  I'll reintroduce myself for those who have not visited my blog before. My name is Nicole Thalacker and I'm starting my junior year at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. I am majoring in public relations and minoring in marketing/advertising and journalism. I hope after I graduate here I can go on to grad school, but I haven't quite figured out for what yet. My dream job is to be a publicist for a big brand name or a celebrity. I know I'll get there one day and I'm definitely not giving up. I’m happy that I finally feel like I’m doing the right thing for my life and feel like I’m on the right track to getting where I want to be in my professional career. When I first came to college I was frustrated with myself for feeling like I had no sense of direction, but that has all changed for the better! My newest task I've taken on is being copy editor for the Royal Purple which is the campus newspaper. So far, I love it and the people I'm working with. I'm ready to start this semester off right and I have a good feeling about it. I love meeting new people and taking on new projects. I can't wait to see how everything turns out!
