One Month and Counting...

Well I'm writing today to say that I've officially been here for one month. And it feels weird when you think about it. Time here seems to speed up and I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. I'm thankful that there is a new day to go and explore and do new things but it also means its one day less I have to find a job. As I'm sure everyone knows it's been extremely tough for everyone to find a job and I have been no exception. I started seriously looking for jobs back in March before graduation (because I knew how hard it would be) and I still find myself seriously looking. I try not to get discouraged, especially when I have two really great internships right now but its just so frustrating to not be getting paid for something that you got a degree in. If what I've been doing doesn't prove that I'm trying as hard as I can using every means possible-then I don't know what is! Sorry for the soapbox, but it feels better to tell other people who are going through the same thing how I feel.


With that being said, I have accepted another internship position and just started work on Fridays. Back when I was applying for internships (because jobs right now are literally impossible to find) I had received two great offers but felt I only had the time to do one. Now that I've gotten more of a schedule, I was lucky enough for the opportunity to do them both. I will also be working at MVP NY (Morris Visitor Publications). They produce Where and In New York magazines monthly as well as a Where Guestbook New York, QG: New York City's Quickguide and In New York Map. These materials serve as the travel companion for all of New York City's visitors and tourists and offers information on shopping, dining, lodging and activities. I'll be working in the editorial department creating listings and fact checking. I'm super excited about gaining more experience in this industry and hopefully being one step closer to a FULL-TIME PAYING JOB in the near future. 


On a side note, I'm still having a great time here in the city and I've even met two Delta Gamma's. I had recently joined the NYC alumni chapter and reached out to some girls who were in similar situations as me. After lots of planning and going over each other's schedules, we decided to meet up at Dos Caminos, a nice Mexican restaurant close to where we all work. It is such a small world meeting other sisters and we had a great time talking about where we were from and what we are doing in New York now. We are even planning some fun events including a trip to the movies and even a Knicks game!!
