Internship Drawing to an End

I’m just a few weeks away from the end of my 90-day internship with The Daily Buzz. I cannot believe how quickly the last ten weeks have gone, and how sad I am to be in the final stretch of what has been a whirlwind of learning, growth, and professional development. While I attribute much…

Personal Growth… overrated?

Anyone that knows me has seen a lot of evolution in me, especially in the last twelve months or so. Going back to school (in March 2011) had a lot to do with that change. It reawakened pieces of my soul that had long been dormant: my thirst for knowledge, for challenge, for discussion–all of…
