Spike Lee came to my school.

On Friday, Spike Lee, director of 'Crooklyn', 'School Daze' and many more, came to my school to speak to the students. He came to my school because as an undergrad student he took classes at CAU and graduated from Morehouse. If you dont know CAU, Spelman, and Morehouse represent the Auc (Atlanta University Center). I was pretty excited to be in the same room as this talented man. Since I am changing my major this year to being a mass media arts student, I want to take advantage of every opportunity possible. I must say I went there looking for inspiration and I believe I got it. He showed us previews of the Michael Jackson movie that is to premiere soon as well as answering questions from students. He is a humbling man and I really appreciate him giving us the opportunity to be in his presence. Not many students can say they met Spike Lee!

BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!

Now that I am back in Atlanta and starting my first week of school, adjusting to my new schedule is a tough one. Now that I am also looking for an internship, my schedule is going to be even more hectic, but I am still going to find a way to still write on my blogs. I promise!

Going Away Party for Me!

This weekend I wasnt able to stay on my blogs because my sister and cousin had a 'going away to school' party for me! Even though I am going into my third year of school, the gesture was really nice. Anyway, I am going back to college in Atlanta. I am very excited for the start of a new school year. I cant believe it will all be over soon. Class of 2014. I have setup an academic plan for this year and I have so much to look forward to. The biggest problem I might have is staying as dedicated to my blogs, the school year gets super busy but I just have to use my time wisely. I leave for Atlanta Sunday! yay!

I converted my blogger into an actual domain and website.

Earlier today I made the decision and spent 10$ on a year long website. I know I said I was going to wait but something told me to just get it over with. Now that I've started hazelinavani.com, I can tell my readers how busy I've been in these last couple hours!
(gasp)
ok!

First, it was purchased from godaddy.com but I did it through google, maybe its more expensive but I felt safer with Google. It was done quick and easy. I still have to figure out a few glitches but I'll get it together. So after I successfully created the page, I did two new post. One on Justin Bieber and the other on Reality spin off 'Here comes Honey Boo Boo'. I posted it on my personal twitter and personal facebook.

 I've been told its all about promoting your work! 

So yes, I created a actual Twitter page dedicated to following news, media, celebrities, pretty much anything worth talking about. And that is where I plan to build my readers, through twitter and tumblr. My biggest issue is creating a drop down menu on my website because I still want people to have access to my other blogs. But I am very happy to say that yesterday hazelinavani.com received about 250 readers! Now My biggest thing will be setting up an adsense account, I am waiting to see if it will go through.

Wish me luck!

Excuse any grammar mistakes I had to write this fast.

Promoting.

I can officially start promoting my blogs. Thank you god. I did a very successful Make-up mania feature  with Jannyna, also check out my dedication post for Whitney Houston and Kevin Hart's VMA promo video. I am accepting submissions for makeup, hair, and outfit of the day. Please email Hazelinavanipr@gmail.com for questions, concerns, and submissions.

I am actually contemplating on creating a separate twitter page.

Wish me luck!

Creating a domain and website.

Since I am in college it is very important for me to take advantage of every opportunity I can get my hands on. As a student and now changing my major I have to be able to work fast meaning that I will be working on getting internships for  television networks, radio stations, or online magazines, anything that can help me further my career once I graduate. As a public relations major I think starting a blog, number one is a great start for internships to see my dedication and starting my own website, number two will show that I am not only dedicated but it shows that I believe in myself. But my biggest problem is what domain name to use, my real name or (Hazelin Avani) catchy name I've used for myself for about four years? I have a few months before I actually create my website because I am planning to have it launched possibly for new years. Another question, which company should I buy my domain from? I worry about hackers and making sure that I am getting the best quality for my money. Also, is it easy to set up? Just some concerns I am having. Any suggestions please comment.

MTV Viacom Internship

Public relations major here and I am going to try to get an internship with MTV Viacom in New York, NY summer of 2013. I actually do have one connection to MTV Viacom, she is my sisters best friend and I am so happy I met her this summer. She has really inspired me and she has no idea. Anyway, she works for MTV in New York and she told me to look into it. Now that I am changing my major to my passion i figured i better start looking into it now. Applications to intern next summer do not go out until later on this year but I do like get an idea of what its like, so if any of my readers have done an internship with MTV in any of their locations please respond. Also I will keep you guys up to date just in case readers are interested like I am. I plan to one day live in New York so I cant imagine all the possibilities i might encounter just living there for a summer. I know not to get my hopes up to high but  i really hope i get the chance to intern for them, that would be like a dream come true. My only issue would be paying to live there, ahhh yes i know it can be rather expensive. I have to do my part first and get some internships under my belt and of course get my gpa up high this semester. This would be a great way to get my foot in the door and I am super excited to see how the process will be if i get in. Wish me luck!

Tomorrow is my sisters wedding..

I am so excited for tomorrow. My sister is getting married to her boyfriend of seven years. They met in college and now they are sealing the deal. I am a little nervous and I dont want anything to go wrong. On my other blogs I posted dresses by Vera Wang, my sister bought her dress from Vera Wang and I also put up different hairstyles to try on the big day. I am really excited because it takes place at the national harbor located in Maryland. Oh My god. the place is beautiful, knowing me, tonight after the dinner I am going to go exploring and take pictures of the scenery.
 I'll definitely upload it for you guys to see exactly what I mean for those who dont know what the national harbor is. I can tell you it has a waterfront, with many stores to shop, boats,  and the gaylord hotel. You're going to be amazed, I hope. Have a blessed day everyone, Thanks for reading.

How to get my start in Public relations.

I go to school in Atlanta and for anyone that knows about that city, it is one the very few places that is known for music. Reality tv shows such as Love and hiphop Atlanta, Single Ladies, Real Housewives of Atlanta, its the place where many celebrities buy their homes. Atlanta has so much going on and as a mass communications major I think that it is important for me to reach outside of my campus (CAU) and start getting to magazines,different networks, and such. But I think it is important to start small I cant just jump into an extremely busy industry so I need ideas. I have background with a college party promotional team that I have been with for a year, it is a great start but I need to learn the dynamics, the in's and out's, do's and dont's. I am going into my junior year and its very important that I can a couple internships under my belt as well as networking. Now that I've discovered my passion and it's something I can see myself doing till i retire I need to get out there. I dont mind working my way to the top!
