The PR Student

I'm Tyler Anderson a senior at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Currently I am in my eighth of ten semesters. My emphasis of study is in Public Relations. I also have a minor in business. I originally was an Accounting major until I realized that sitting behind a desk and crunching numbers was something I could not see myself doing everyday. I like the idea in PR that nothing is ever going to be the exact same. PR gives you the opportunity to be creative and professional, because ultimately you are establishing the image the public views.
So far as a PR student I have completed PR Principles, and PR Tactics I and am currently taking PR Tactics II, PR Strategies and also PR research literacy. I really enjoyed PR Tactics I and all the hands on exercises we completed. The mock news conference was a very good experience that I enjoyed working on. The reason I enjoyed that was in my career I would love to work in sports PR. I would either love to represent a sports team as a whole or a specific athlete or maybe even celebrity. For one I love sports and stardom. That would be awesome to be the person held responsible for protecting a "stars" image. The job would come with much responsibility, which would make it so great.
As a Senior in college I am at a point in my life where I do not want to leave college but I also want to start a new chapter in my life. As hard as it is to see myself having a career and working 40+ hours a week I think a little bit of me is looking forward to the responsibility of being an adult. There also is the future of a family which is scary now but soon will be a reality that I will enjoy. So for my fourth and fifth years I am going to have the time of my life living as a kid and adult at the same time before the real world is reality.
