Goals

As a rising senior in college, my life plans are beginning to fall into place.  By the time I graduate from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I hope to have a job I love and be in the position to enjoy life for all it is worth.  My biggest fear is to embark on a journey which will lead to unhappiness or boredom.  I honestly feel that Public Relations will allow me to be happy and successful through all the days of my life.
