The End of the Beginning.

And so the end is near, of my internship that is. The other day I was able to sit in on an interview with a prospective intern.  Little did I know, she was here to replace me.  It was this…

Growing Pains

There are less than two weeks left in my internship with the March of Dimes. I think that means that this post, my final one, is supposed to be bittersweet and reflexive. I need to express my appreciation for the…

Welcome To Showbiz

Although I’d like to be at an agency some day, interning at CBS3 has been very rewarding so far. Apart from the fun of going out on shoots to places like Hershey Park, the atmosphere and coworker interaction has been…

Bucks County Visitors Center

Now that my internship is coming to an end I am feeling very satisfied with my experience.  Contrary to my belief it was so much more than being the office coffee and food runner.  I had the opportunity to work…

NBC – Halfway

The summer is flying by and I am already five weeks into my NBC internship. The initial few weeks was all a learning process, mainly a way for me to figure out my own style of marketing. I was given…

DogFace

I recently read today that 1 in 10 pets have some type of social networking profile.  On Facebook, 14% of dog owners have made a profile for their pet.  So here at Philly2Night, I wonder how many dogs I have…
