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.

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!

I was using Psychology as a safety net...

Hi everyone,

Ok, so basically the reason why I wanted to discuss this topic is because for many of us college students choosing ONE major is HARD. I am in this crazy situation of changing my major and this is coming from a person that doesn't like change too much. Well something I've noticed at school is that we as students use certain majors as a safety net. For example, I can use myself I am a rising junior and I chose psychology as a major just because I took a class on it in high school. As I have grown older I still really do LIKE psychology and I am very good at reading people but....I have been passionate about blogging and writing since freshman year  in high school. I am now having a change of heart. My school is expensive yes, and the economy sucks like hell but my recent experiences have led me away from using my safety net and taking a risk for what I actually want to do for the rest of my life. I love to plan my life and If I can plan it well enough to stay in the areas where I know I have a better opportunity of a job thats a risk i am willing to take. But I am selling myself short PLAYING IT SAFE.

I quit T.G.I Fridays

Its summer vacation and I am back in Largo, Maryland , others refer to as the "DMV". As I've mentioned in my previous post I am currently attending Clark Atlanta University located in Atlanta, Georgia. For some who are not aware Atlanta is in its prime right now an upcoming city attracting plenty of tourist and businesses especially in the media.

Anyway, I am back at home in my parents house and one of my goals for this summer was to hopefully land a summer job.Well, that is exactly what I did early June of 2012 but unfortunately with lack of communication I ultimately end up quitting literally a month later. I think I've come to far in my life, being in college and getting more experience from some what of a real world I could not let myself go back to a job that treated their employees with little to no respect. I dont know what it was about T.G.I fridays but it was an eye opener of what not to do. Don't drop out of school and truly find your passion.I think thats why I am here now.

I go to a very expensive university (34,000$ per year) and I need to advantage of the opportunities that I am ever so fortunate to land. That is what has brought me here. I have a tumblr that I am addicted to and a twitter that reminds me to tweet my heart out till my fingers are numb. I'm not sure if it is cause of the generation I am in but I could spend hours on the computer for free ...so why not get paid to do so?

Today I made the decision to change my major...

Since High school I have always been passionate about writing,journalism, social media, and overall, communication. I am going into my junior year at Clark Atlanta University and my major is Psychology. Well today I decided to go with my gut feeling to follow my dreams,instead of playing it safe. I'm changing my major to mass communications with a concentration in public relations. After listing the pros and cons of my decision, as all viewers can see I started blogging again. Good Luck to me right!

As of now I am working to get my blogger profile set up so at this point it is under construction but I am working on some great ideas and I am so far dedicated to gaining viewers and taking in submissions that you would like to be featured on my page. Thank you for reading.
