Where I came from & Where I'm going

When thinking of myself, I think of someone who is driven to have a successful life. Hi, my name is Jenna and I am excited to be a first time blogger. I am a 20-year-old college student pursuing a bachelors degree in Marketing and a masters degree in Business Administration. I come from a family of four that consists of my mom, dad, and younger sister. I was born and raised in northern Illinois. Growing up I had a passion of competitive cheerleading, and that was all my life consisted of. I would eat, sleep, breathe cheerleading and everything about it. I went from being passionate about my cheerleading, to being passionate about having a successful future. College was never a question in my eyes. My parents always told me that I was going to college, so that was always my plan.
When I started my college experience I started at the University of Missouri (Mizzou). At Mizzou I was able to experience what college was all about, and even join a sorority. I joined the Gamma Phi Beta chapter, and it was everything I wanted and more. After being at Mizzou for a semester I then went on to Western Kentucky University and finally Columbia College of Missouri. I have a set major now, and I am ready to finish college and have a great life.

Every End is a New Beginning

"Every story has an end, but in life every end is a new beginning." I think it is important to remember that when one door closes, another one opens. Whether it is a job, relationship, friendship, or opportunities in general, it is hard when change occurs. Often we dwell on the negative, and can't see the new opportunity that has been given to us. I know personally that I don't take change well, I like when my life is consistent and has order. But, I am learning that if my life always stays the same, then there is no room for improvement. Heartbreak is one of the hardest things a person will go through. It will make you think that you're going to be alone forever. When you're used to being with someone for so long, it is hard to let go of that. These things in life are going to be hard, and there will be bumps in the road. A lot of the times we think that those bumps are going to go on forever, but that is not true. In 10 or 20 years we will look back o...

Building Professional Profiles

I have recently been trying to convert my social media pages to professional ones. I started with my LinkedIn profile. This profile was easy to make professional because I hadn't started it yet. To build my profile, I started filling in my professional information. I started with putting in where I attend college, and the major I am pursuing. Doing this allows me to connect with others who went to my school, or those who are in the same major as me. Then, I stated my professional skills and wrote a bio of myself. Professional people will benefit from LinkedIn because it will allow them to build their network and find jobs. The next thing I did to be more professional was change the mood of my Twitter account. I used to only use my Twitter account for personal use, but now I want to use it to inspire and motivate people. Now I use Twitter to write and share inspirational words. A lot of people use Twitter for negative thoughts, but I honestly th...

Inspirational Blogs for a New Blogger

Happy Sunday readers! What a perfect day to sit outside in the sun, and write a blog post. Today I am going to talk about blog posts that have been helpful to me as a new blogger. I think it's important for bloggers to read other blogs because that is the best way to learn how to become a better writer. I enjoy finding new blogs to read because it is more inspiration to me as a writer. The five blog posts I chose were Self Discovery , The Creator , Breaking to a New Light , Now Living , and Food-Travel-Fashion . Each of these blogs have something in common. Each of these blogs talks about motivation and being successful. Self Discovery is a blog about refining life, and realizing that you want to live it to the fullest. This blog was an inspiration to me, because in my life I am pushing myself as hard as I can to achieve my goals. At sometime in this last year of my life, I have changed my attitude and I strive t...
