All of The Lights

This year has been quite the whirlwind in terms of figuring out where I fit in, not only among my peers, but in the ad program in general. One thing that this year has taught me, is that in order to constantly progress you must push yourself out of your comfort zone. That is something that I have personally struggled with, and looks different for everyone.

With that being said, I couldn’t be any more excited for this trip. As someone who has never been on the east coast, I have no idea what to expect from the city, agencies and people that I will meet. *My stomach is turning as we speak*. That’s okay though, embrace it and power through.

My final thoughts to anyone else who is nervous, anxious or what have you: Don’t worry. You are not alone. We’ll tackle this together, and remember you are on this trip for a reason, so let your personality shine! Finally, I encourage everyone to step out of their comfort zone in some way on this trip… obviously within reason.
