Public Relations Writing Class

This class has definitely been one of the most helpful classes I have taken, that I can actually apply what I have learned into my field.  Being a Communication major, we have to take ridiculous amounts of classes that consist of theory and culture and communicating, and although a few things might be interesting, they real seem to me like a waste of my time in school.  Like I don't care about theory as much as I do about how to write a press release or take a conference call.  PR writing has taught me a lot about things I actually will be doing for the rest of my career.  I think now that I have a little more of a hands on approach of how PR works and the inner workings of a campaign, I have learned what my strengths and weaknesses are.  I think the more work I do in this field the sooner I will get an idea of where I want to take my interests in this field.  I enjoy the writing aspects the best, but I feel like when I do assignments, or work on the projects, it is much more enjoyable to be working on a topic that you actually care about, because that is when you want to make an impact, and you get creative.  If I could get an internship working for a company that interests me, I would be very lucky and excited to get started.  I really would like to do more writing maybe for magazines like glamour or something that involves a lot of PR, I think that would be really cool.  Anyway, yea PR writing was a tonnn of work but in the long run I am glad I took the class, because for once it was a class that I really did need to take.  It is almost over though...... finally!!!!! I am sooo done with school this semester!!!
