At last.. my love has come along







I finally found my "place".. or at least I hope so! I just got back from the San Francisco Bay Area and I loved it! Unlike the imbeciles in the South, the people in Cali are very relaxed and liberal. People here are afraid of people who aren't like them. They are very accepting and diverse. You could walk into a store with purple hair and green skin and no one would mind. I don't have a problem with conservatives, I have a problem with ignorance. People cannot help the way they are born, but they can choose their attitude. Not everyone is given everything on a platter, myself included, and we must work hard for everything. This gives you an advantage in life, because you know what's it like to have to work hard. Why not help these people instead of ridiculing them?

OK, so before I got off into a tangent I was declaring my love for California. The San Francisco Bay area in general was wonderful. Within one area you have:
1) The Beach! (I'm going to learn to surf!)
2) Mountains! (I went hiking :))
3) San Francisco- amazing diverse city complete with uppity areas as well as chill hippy spots :)
4) NAPA and Sonoma (amazing!)
5) Lake Tahoe for skiing
6) Silicon Valley= high tech jobs
7) Alot of startup companies based out of area= fun JOBS
8)Can drive down to LA-- takes about 6 hrs if I'm not mistaken
9) Cheap flights to Vegas :)
10 Carmel and Monterrey (Simply gorgeous) Now I understand why Steinbeck loved the area so much

Problems:

1) I don't have a degree from Stanford/USC/Berkeley while makes finding a job difficult
2) Costs of living very very high (and I'm just a poor college kid!)
3) I don't know anyone there.. As I'm finding out you basically have to know someone to get into PR/Advertising... I have sent out probably 20 resumes and have heard nothing
4) MONEY


If I want something bad enough I will work to get it. I don't have a very impressive resume.. I'm aware of this. I have little experience in PR and Advertising.. but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I look forward to going to my Promotions class and sit in the front row.. If only I put this much passion into everything I do.

All I need is for someone to give the cute little Southern girl a chance.. I'm not from Stanford, I don't have a 4.0 but I have a personality and know how to sell myself damn it! (apparently not on paper...)
