		<title>Company? Agency? Non-Profit? Grad School?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know that deciding what you want to do with your future after college can be excruciating. Everyone is looking to you to make the right choice and pick your life. Do I want to start working right away? What if I want to travel? Do I have enough competitive drive to work at an [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=amandalopez.wordpress.com&blog=2529452&post=37&subd=amandalopez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Being the Only Student of Color in PR Classes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know if this is true for other students of color in public relations, but why is it that I am the only one in class. I am always the only one and I want to  see that change. It is most difficult when my peers and sometimes my professors say ignorant remarks, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=amandalopez.wordpress.com&blog=2529452&post=35&subd=amandalopez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Student Stress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have those days where you just want to throw the covers over your head and stay in bed all day, but then you think of the paper that&#8217;s due, two readings for class, your project that you&#8217;ve been procrastinating on, your time consuming job and the internship that you wish you got paid for&#8230; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=amandalopez.wordpress.com&blog=2529452&post=29&subd=amandalopez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Student Presentations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hands clamming. Throat closing. Knees weakening. Let the presentation begin! Most students have similar sensations when we are forced in front of the class or professors. In my public relations class we are studying what makes a great presentation and oddly enough for my advertising class I will be presenting to a client in two [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=amandalopez.wordpress.com&blog=2529452&post=27&subd=amandalopez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Working on Team-PR Students and Teamwork</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know what it is but when I am put on a team I immediately want to take charge. Maybe your the type of student who immediately stays quiet and observes. Others, do a bob and weave sort of team work job, and come in and out of conversation. I am constantly bombarded with [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=amandalopez.wordpress.com&blog=2529452&post=23&subd=amandalopez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Student Competition and Survival</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I always want to compare myself to other students. Naturally, I am competitive and I wonder where that drive  comes from?
Thinking about education and how students in the United States are taught to learn helps us understand the competitive drive a little bit better. Where a &#8220;C&#8221; student, meaning average,&#8221; is considered mediocrity, and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=amandalopez.wordpress.com&blog=2529452&post=21&subd=amandalopez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>PR- What am I Doing and how am I Going to get There?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was sitting at my desk during class, and I began to daydream. I didn&#8217;t even realize that I had been typing mid-sentence when I realized I don&#8217;t actually know what PR is all about and what it will be like in the future.
In the article Your Future in Public Relations by Steve R. Van [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=amandalopez.wordpress.com&blog=2529452&post=19&subd=amandalopez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Eternal &#8220;Professional&#8221; Look of PR</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A suit? A tie? A skirt? A scarf? I really don&#8217;t understand the reasons why the look of PR practitioners is something from my nightmares. I am a student and I know for a fact that I will never wear a pantsuit. PR students are told every day to dress like a &#8220;professional&#8221; but what [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=amandalopez.wordpress.com&blog=2529452&post=17&subd=amandalopez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Envisioning a Future in Public Relations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lets all be realistic. There comes a time when a public relations student drifts in to a day dream like state and thinks about their future in PR as something from the movies. I am guilty of this myself. We subconsciously believe that the dream job will  come the day after graduation and well [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=amandalopez.wordpress.com&blog=2529452&post=13&subd=amandalopez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
