FutureCamp: From a 2C's perspective!



First and foremost, thanks and congratulations to Zack and Jenna for doing a wonderful job. Futurecamp showed how insanely close everyone's become after only a couple of months. Public relations has proven to be just what we were told from the beginning, "work hard-play hard environment", but of course 2C isn't perfect (yes I know, hard to imagine) so we "work hard and play even HARDER" instead!!!!!!
We were asked to sit in our areas of choice, non-profit, corporate, social media, media relations, agency etc. After only four months it was interesting to see that people were starting to find their niches.

We began to plan a party 5 years from now, and I think that if we were truly sick of eachother then we would have settled for the PR.O.M. We discussed how we could make this happen, how would we keep in contact and inform eachother of what's really out there! Let's face it guys, it's a crazy world out there (most of us already had the honours of being introduced, right?)

There were concepts that Michael had introduced to us that we could now use to stay connected. Michael showed us the various outlets available and during classes we learned and practiced as much as we could. So now, we can use social media to stay connected, for example twitter: #YnotW...if you dont't know what that is well I guess you're outside of the loop, but as an emerging PR professional I will gladly explain. It is WHY NOT WEDNESDAY, a day that we have dedicated to true socializing! It is a night where as friends we all go out and just have fun!

First semester was amazing, I find myself very fortunate to have met some really great people that I can actually call my friends :) (don't start crying)
I hope that next semester we can focus on eachother and in augmenting these relationships because truly we made it this far because of eachother.

So.... with one more semester to go I say we join forces with 1C, polish up our gloves, fix our caps, pull up our socks and play some SOFTBALLLL!!!!!!!!! Oh yes, of course...and dedicate ALL other waking hours (as usual) to PR.
