St. Valentine’s Day

Oh Valentines Day….it usually begins with a battle between singles and those in a relationship.  The singles call it “Single Awareness Day” while other people post pictures on facebook of their new “bling” given to them by their significant other.  The other posts consists of I love my boyfriend statuses.  I think Valentine’s Day is more than just the “hallmark holiday” most people hate, I think it is a time to remember to tell the people in your life that you care and love them.  Presents are also a main focal point in Valentine’s Day, which I hate, but I must confess I love receiving them.  I think my favorite present has been a coach purse.  I do not think I have ever had a present on Valentine’s Day that I have not loved.  If I got a present I did not like it would depend on who gave it to me, but I would probably pretend to like it because they put a lot of effort into it. 

If I were a public relations professional I would set my brand apart from all the other flowers, chocolate, and card businesses by having a quality product for cheaper.  Most of these types of presents are given in high school or college settings.  This means that the people buying these presents do not have much money to spend.  Also, couples spend most of their money for Valentine’s Day on dinner and the “big present” therefore it is important to have chocolates, flowers, and cards prices be much cheaper.  Also my company could create a mutual relationship with a few restaurants in the area and give 10 percent off to the restaurant to people who buy all three of my products (flowers, cards, and chocolate).

BUCKET LIST

I have always wanted to write a bucket list, and this blog may have just inspired me to do so. The first on my bucket list is to see the world.  I have never left the country. I want to go to Spain, France, England, and Italy.  I would love to live in a foreign country sometime after college before I start a family.  I want to learn to surf and play the guitar.  I want to live in California and wake up to the sounds of the ocean every morning.  I want to take time in life to volunteer, I have always wanted to join the peace corps.  I want to get married and be a mom. I want to have a job I am proud of, no matter what it is or isn’t.  I want to live on a farm for awhile.

Honestly, I have no idea what I would want to be remembered for.  I think I would want to be remembered as helping make the world a better place.  I think I work hard to help others and learn from others.  One of my favorite songs is Imagine by the Beatles/ John Lennon. The lyrics “you may say I am a dreamer, but Im not the only one. I hope someday you will join us and the world will live as one.”  I want to be remembered as someone to bring others together no matter their ethnicity or background.  I want their to be a sense of connection between all people on earth. It seems far stretched but my motto is a smile means the same thing anywhere you are.

Texting and Walking

Texting and walking is a terrible offense, but not near as important as texting and driving. Texting and driving can cause life changing accidents and can even lead to a fatal car crash.  Walking and texting is not really a serious problem in the long run.  If people texting run into you its embarrassing for the texted but it doesn’t end a life or change their life.  I think the more serious issue, and I think Oprah agrees with me, is texting and driving.  Teens continue to text and drive all the time because they are unable to see the repercussions of such an action.  They are unable to understand the intensity of their decision to text and drive.  Most of my friends continue to text and drive even after they watch the million episodes with Oprah urging people not to text and drive.  This is a very serious issue that should not be taken lightly.  This is much more laws and legislation to go through before the law can protect us when it comes to texting and driving.  Even if it becomes illegal in more states how do policemen detect such acts.  IT is not like the person is clearly speeding or swerving.  Most driving texters get out scotch free every time they enter their vehicle until their luck has run out and they hurt someone or end a life. This is why I think everyone must take a stand against texting and driving because it is important that each person do their job with their friends to make them stop texting and driving.  I think before we end the walking and texting epidemic we must tackle the texting and driving problem. and thats how sue C’s it

SOCIAL MEDIA

Social media has taken over each and every one of our lives.  I personally check my facebook and twitter throughout the day numerous times.  It has created an entire industry of jobs and created a new and different social culture.  Fast communication has become high on demand and I do not think it will ever slow down.  But if that day comes where the url to facebook and twitter stop coming, people would have to go back to other forms of public relations. Television and radio would become the most important aspect of a campaign.  I think it would be very difficult to go back to the old ways of “getting the word out there.”  There is no denying the necesity of social media.  People with smart phones can easily access the internet.  In this day and age, it would be almost impossible to go back to the old ways of advertising.  Of course, it could be done because we use to not have the luxury of social media.

I think it is important that people continue to support these social medias as much as possible!
