Ok, so as a junior in the Center for Business Preparation here at Hanover, I'm required to do an internship between my junior and senior years.
I'm searching for a film/video production internship.
I've applied to these unlikely places:
Pixar
DreamWorks
Disney
CNN
FOX
ESPN
Universal Studios
Paramount
I have personal contacts, either through HC or my high school to these companies:
Blakehouse Media
Women in Film
The Green Building essentially the guy who did the documentary "FLOW"
Outdoors for All
Firebelly Design
Madison TV15
Still hoping for one out west! More details soon!

Stressed Out
It's getting to be that time of the semester again:
Each semester there are two weeks in which everyone hates each other here on Hanover campus.
Week 1: Midterms, also right before Winter break
Why? Because everyone has too much to do for people who have too much to do as well. Students are overloaded with assignments and professors are overloaded with grading those assignments. Yet, we push forward! If only to make it to the winter break so we can breathe and actually get some sleep.
Week 2: 2 weeks before Finals week, aka Dying week
Why? The oh-so-dreaded Dead week is nothing compared to the stress of Dying week. Professors and students both assume, out of respect for each other, that Dead week will be the more stressful and difficult week. And it is stressful, but it's a relief compared to the prior week: Dying week. Every assignment, presentation, and project is due during Dying week, so it can be done with and out of the way for Dead week.
I love Hanover.

Hardly anybody reads this anyway... haha
Lately, I have been working on me. I've had some bad experiences in the past and I'm learning to move forward.
Among my goals include:
- improving my self esteem
- moving forward from my abuse
- improving my physical health
- expanding my mind and being able to see different perspectives of situations
Wish me luck!

You are Not Alone
There have been many people in my life who have helped me by loving me, hating me, complimenting me, criticizing me, and picking me up when they've pushed me down. These experiences may not have been pleasant, but they are all a part of me and will always be with me, for better or for worse.
No matter how much we want to change the past, we can't. We have to deal with that. Think in the present and plan for the future! The future is in our control and we can change it if we want to. If you want to feel happier, take steps to being happier. If you want to be smarter, faster, stronger, kinder, thinner, braver, better, take steps now! What are you waiting for?
If you don't like a trait, take steps to change in so you don't have to deal with it in the future, which will quickly be the past again! If you are struggling in a relationship, figure out how to fix it. That might be getting help from family and friends, seeing someone professionally, or leaving the relationship altogether. Successfully completing any of the former options makes a person stronger and is something to be proud of.
Once you accomplish it, you'll have to maintain it. This won't require as much help. However, you don't want to fall over backwards. If you are motivated and willing and able to become a certain way, you certainly have the ability to maintain it.
"Work It Harder Make It Better
Do It Faster, Makes Us Stronger
More Than Ever Hour After
Our Work Is Never Over"
- Daft Punk
Everyone needs help. Everyone.
"No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helps you."
- Althea Gibson
Again, e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e needs help.
Those who get help are the successful ones. Some may need more help than others, but everyone needs it. Do not be ashamed, embarrassed, or frustrated by the fact that you need help. You are not alone. Again, you are not alone. You aren't the first and you won't be the last.
You are able. You do matter. People love you and want to help you. I promise you that.

I hope this is true
I just adore this song. But right now the lyrics are telling me about my life. I hope these words are true and I know I've heard most of them.
The Reason lyrics
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You [x4]
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

58% are male, 42% are female.
110 are single, 145 are dating or married.
If I contracted a deadly variant of flu, I would likely infect 12 people, 2 of whom would die.
When I share something on Facebook, it is typically viewed by 25 people.
If I died today, an estimated 486 people would try to attend my funeral.
Based on my Facebook profile, I have a 92% probability of getting married.
I am likely to earn US$3.6 million and have 2.4 children over my lifetime.
Yay. :)

I am a Fantastic Person, Really
Challenge #3: Improving My Self-Esteem
No matter how many times Nathan tells me I'm beautiful, how often professors say I'm smart, or my friends say I'm strong, I don't always believe it. I try so hard to, but I tend to forget when I need it the most.
So, here's to arrogance for a few sentences:
I am smart, attractive, accomplished, and able. Very little can stand in my way. I change for me, and for nobody else. I care for myself just as I care for others. I am important, worth while, and I deserve good things. I have a driving force that is carrying me through my college years. There are people in my life who love me and care for me, even if I can't see them through the fog. I feel better after venting, and most outlets for stress are acceptable, including sharing that stress with friends. I don't need to apologize for the way I am.
There we go. I feel better now. While this paragraph is tailored to me, each person out there has a list of amazing accomplishments that they may or may not be aware of. I encourage you to write yours, or ask me and I can write it.

Could this double as a personals ad? Maybe not.
