Social media, how I love you. Let me count the ways...

In addition to my internship at Imagewest this semester, I am also a Campus Ambassador for ReadyU, a nationwide college campus initiative started by Proctor & Gamble.  The premise of the campaign is that ReadyU will teach you the things about college you really need to know, stuff that you can't learn from a professor or lecture.  College is the most exciting (and possibly scariest) 4 years of a person's life; ReadyU hopes to make that experience just a little easier, and a whole lot more rewarding.  I'm partnered up with another WKU senior and together we host events on campus, passing out free samples of P & G products like Cheer, Old Spice, Venus & Charmin.  We also upload videos and post blogs on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.  On ReadyU's website you can find and share college life success tips and tricks with other college kids from all over the nation.  If you're not already, "like" ReadyU on Facebook and follow them on Twitter!

You would think that with maintaining this blog, having two social media-related internships, taking a social media marketing class, as well as spending extra free-time on my personal Facebook and Twitter, I would hate social media by the end of the day.  Truth?  It never gets old for me.  There's always more to learn, a new blog to discover, a new connection to be made.  I guess that's the beauty of social media; it's always going to keep me on my toes.  It's impossible to be a social media expert...I laugh at anyone that claims to be one.  Don't believe me?  Check out this article.  It's the nature of the beast that this industry changes so much.  That's what keeps it interesting.  And me addicted.
