The Da'Shira Issue

Life sometimes has the funniest ways of getting through to you. As you know I am searching for a summer internship and currently I am 0- 3. Though I have had many pep talks,  I still feel personally rejected each time I receive a no. Tonight I had a movie night with some people from school and we watched, The September Issue, though I have seen the movie dozens of times each time I get the same rush. I am always  intrigued to see all the various people it takes to put together the biggest magazine issue in fashion, and long to be apart of something so epic. After watching the movie it was like a fire was lit
inside of me, one which has been dimming for the past few months. I came home and thought about all the emails, interviews and applications that I have sent out without getting the results that I wanted, and realized that this isn't the end of my world. If life were perfect then everything would just fall into place;I'd never learn any type of lesson, or try to reach beyond what I thought was possible. Basically what I got from tonight was to dream big. I already have done so much in my life, that I never thought in my wildest dreams I would be able to do. As I near graduation, it is time for me to start a new chapter in my life and do even more than I've done in the past. As always I have a cliche closing that is very true, it is time for me to prepare for the biggest part of my life which I will affectionately call the Da'Shira issue. I have no idea what the pages will be filled with but I know that it will be the greatest  time of my life.

    Hey girl! Looked at your blog. I like the idea of your post, but remember, as a PR major, you have to emphasize your writing and make it worthy of reading. Be sure to use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. :) Use bold and different fonts when necessary to add a little spice and emphasize what's important!

    Also, I would recommend a new template. The transparency is a little hard to read.

    When I applied, I applied like crazy and applied everywhere. Even if places weren't looking for Summer interns, I sent them my stuff anyways. Be sure your cover letter is looking good and you're being honest. Make sure your resume is of the correct format as well. Most of all, don't get discouraged; everybody gets their big break eventually. I applied to 30 or so internships and only heard 1 reply. It takes a lot to get a PR internship in a big city such a New York City, where the best of the best want to go.

    Good luck with your search ♥
    By the way, I found a lot of internships for fashion at FreeFashionInternships.com (@fashionintern on Twitter) and InternQueen.com (@InternQueen on Twitter).
