When I started this semester, I had a vision. I imagined that I was PR professional that knew everything there was to know about about public relations. It all seemed so simple, have a goal, know who your public's are, and communicate to them in the most effective way possible. How could one go wrong?!Here's what could go wrong:
1) AP Style
2) AP Style
3) Did I mention AP Style?
I thought I knew AP Style....but I guess what I actually know is that I need to constantly study the AP Style book. This semester was very informative on how many different things PR professionals do. It's more writing than I thought it would be. It's never ending planning and reviewing.
I am excited for the future of the PR Club and what the Communication Department has in store for their public relation students. Best of luck to all of you!! It was really fun to have class with you!

I love the quote and I know how you feel. Like the blog post! The one thing I would like to add is, don't forget that this is the learning time of your life where you can dedicate all of your time to study. If we all work hard and get this AP Style down while we are here then it frees up that little bit of time to learn more important things in the future. At least that is the kind of things that I think about.
