Hey, Whats up, Hello

Hi everybody! First let me start off by saying thank you for reading my blog. This is my first ever blog so bear with me. Anyway, My name is Nina Deachilla and I am a senior Public Relations and Digital Media Productions major at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania. I am an active member of Phi Sigma Sigma sorority. I have held leadership positions in the sorority as well as the Panhellenic National Council on my campus.

I am graduating from SRU in December and I have to say I am extremely nervous to leave this great little town and experience the real world. When I'm not in Slippery Rock you can find me in Baltimore City. Over the summer I did an internship there and experienced a little bit of the "real world". Having the opportunity to do an internship was great because it gave me an idea of what I wanted to do come December. It also calmed my fears of being afraid to graduate.

Its weird to think my time is almost up. It seems like just a few days ago I was packing up all of my things and leaving for freshman move in. In a few months I am going to be packing up all of my things to leave. Everyday I ask myself where did the time go.

The next question that I asked myself is what am I going to when I leave here. Sure I will have a degree, but what do I want to do with it. I am hoping that this class will help me figure things out a bit. Sure I have worked with a lot of social media site, including Facebook and Twitter, but I have never written a blog before. I have wanted to but I have never take the steps to actually do one.

I don't typically read the news often, but if I do its CNN. I typically read and listen to CNN because growing up my mother was always watching that channel. Sure they have different opinions than other networks but they are just what i prefer.

If I would have to chose a non-traditional news outlet I think that I would have to chose Buzzfeed. I think some people don't associate the actual news with Buzzfeed all the time, but in recent years they have gotten better with reporting the news. I am constantly visiting the site to see what i can read. I think I like them because they break up the articles in a way that its better and its more pleasing to read.

Overall, I am really excited to be enrolled in this class and to experience the world of blogging. I can't wait to see where this class takes me.
