Well here it is, my final blog post EVER (in this position
at least). It’s been a crazy fast three
years. It’s weird to think I finished
undergrad and graduate school in the same amount of time. I’ve learned a lot, and I do mean a lot,
being in the MPA program. The program
has certainly prepared me for a wide variety of careers and I know I can go
just about anywhere I want in the future with this degree (and some work
experience of course). I’ve also been
fortunate enough to work with a lot of great professors here in the Department
of Political Science, Criminal Justice, and Organizational Leadership. Many of the professors and staff members have
been so kind to me and really cared about my well-being and my future. It’s going to be sad to say good-bye to
everyone.
I have finished my last two courses and hopefully passed
with flying colors. I knew it was going
to be tough writing a research paper and doing my capstone, but I only died of
stress for just a few days. Overall I’m
pretty happy with the results of my two projects and hope my professors
agree. As sad as I am to leave NKU, I’m
really, really, really glad I’ll never have to write a paper again.
On the job front I’ve had mixed success. I interview at an arts organization on May 1st
for a part-time position as administrative support for the development
office. The position would provide a lot
of great experience in development and fund-raising. Fingers crossed that I can get it. I will also be staying on part-time at the
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra as a patron services representative. Now I’ll finally get paid for working there! I will be able to gain even more experience
in marketing and customer service in arts organization. (Kind of obvious I’m hoping to find a career
in arts nonprofits no?). Don’t worry
though, no matter what I’ll be at Skyline for a few more months!
Graduation is in just a few days and I couldn’t be more
excited. I think I’m in a good place to
find a full-time job and move on with the rest of my life. I’ve been in college
for six straight years and it’s finally time for that to come to an end. I’m sure one day I’ll wish I wasn’t working
full-time and get an itch to get another degree, but for now I’m ready to take
more than a few years off. Peace out
NKU, it’s been a great journey.
