Career Paths?
I just found one of the coolest tools! It is something that helps you plan out how to achieve your dream career. It is a tool that has so many different careers on it. First, you pick either a starting point, or what you would like your ultimate goal to be. Then, it shows you where people typically go from there, or what are the most common steps taken to get to that dream career. It basically maps out different ways that you can get to your ultimate goal. It is super simple, only takes a few seconds to figure it out, and it is one of the most nifty things I have ever seen. If you are unsure how to get to your ultimate goal, or just want to browse, I definitely recommend looking at it!!

I highly encourage you to take a look!

Where to look for an internship
Internships are a huge part of the college process. They enable us to get real life experience in order to advance our career, but where do we begin? I know that was a question that seemed like many people tended to ask. I am going to give you a few places in which I think you should begin your search for the perfect internship.
1) Go directly to the source. If you know the place you would like to intern at, go to their website. Most companies have a link to different careers on their homepage. This is typically found at the bottom of the website. Many of the ones that I looked at were Disney.com, CBS, Universal, NBC, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and the like. I found it on all of them. With just a few clicks, I'm sure you can find it too.
2) Career networks! The college that I attend has one of these. You can usually specify that you are looking for an internship in the search box, and many internships may come up that you never realized even existed. From smaller companies that you haven't really heard of to ones that you may have just forgot about. Career networks are a great place to look.
3) Monster.com - This can be a very helpful source and many people use it for internships as well as a job search tool. You can put in key words and for the most part this website is self explanatory. If you are having trouble finding the right internship for you, I would recommend going here as well.
4) Finally, Internqueen.com is one that I have used. This one is nice because you can look through all the internships you would like, upload your resume and then have it sent to all of them. You don't have to go through and do each one individually, but you can cut out hours of typing in tedious information, and just do it all at once.
I have used every one of these for internships that I have applied for and I have gotten call backs and internships from them. I highly recommend applying so that you can start getting the training necessary for your future career. Good luck!

We're all in this together. What are we here for?
This video is something that really made me think.
What are we here for? Pause for a second and thing about it.
Are we supposed to chase after the American dream and be successful in the world's eyes?
We all have a purpose, a reason why we are here.
I'm starting to realize that for me, it is not about having the American dream. I think it is time for me to start thinking about what I can do to make others lives better. I get so wrapped up in myself, in what I want. I couldn't tell you a day where my main focus wasn't on me. We have a God that loves us so much. He gave up His own son for us. This is something I can't even fathom. The older I get, the harder it hits me. I don't deserve anything that He has given, his grace, mercy, and love. I don't deserve any of it. Yet He still loves us. In the midst of myself being so selfish, He still loves me. He deserves so much praise. From this day forward, I want to live my whole life as a form of worship. Where I constantly serve others and show the love that He has shown me, to others. Where the money that he has blessed me with, is given to others. I think it is time for me as well as all of us to live our lives in a way where what we are doing is truly loving others.
