Adulthood

Graduating college, driving across the country, moving to a new place, and I am finally starting on my professional endeavors.  Today begins my first full week as an intern at Ballantines Public Relations. I battled through dreaded Los Angeles traffic this morning to my internship in a boutique PR firm. 

Everyone that I work under seems to be very friendly and helpful; I can already tell I am going to be getting valid and professional experience to assist me in my future career. Today I get to talk to a client about their social-media initiatives. I am so excited to begin my professional life and see where these experiences are going to take me. 

After visiting St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Lisl and I stopped by a restaurant called, Alcinia’s. We heard about it from Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives on the food network. We were welcomed at the door with a giant kiss on each of our foreheads by BJ the chef, who has a big southern personality. I can’t wait to see what is in store for our stomachs as we venture from Dallas to Colorado in the morning.

We stopped for gas. Look at what the meter had to say. Its a good sign?

Today marks the beginning of my post-college life. Today, my friend, Lisl and i have embarked on a road trip to Southern California from our JMU lives in Virginia.

So far, we have fought traffic, rain, and gross bathrooms to reach Nashville, TN. Adventures await as we continue on our trek in the mini cooper.

Be sure to check back and read more about our experiences.

For a low-calorie drink, take some plain club soda (no calories) and add some frozen cubes of your favorite juice. Add some vodka and you have a delicious and low-calorie beverage, not to mention cute to boot.
