The week before Thanksgiving break I visited the STARR Career Development Center to discuss possible internships, discuss my major, and work on my resume. The first step was requesting an appointment. When I met with my advisor we discussed my intended major of marketing. We looked at the different marketing tracks such as international marketing, digital marketing, and so on. I was confused on which track I wanted to go on to, as we looked into each track we discussed which classes for those requirements seemed the most appealing to me. We also discussed the pros and cons of pursuing a specific track and also pursuing the general one. A lot of misinformation was cleared up for me and got me more excited about my future major. Furthermore, we discussed the benefits of finding an internship for the summer even if I was a bit unsure about my major. I was stubborn about the idea before, but she made the important points of getting real experience for a possible major, adding to my resume, and interning for a company that would possibly hire me in the future or refer me to someone else. These points and clarity made me motivated to find opportunities to gain these experiences. Then we also talked about resumes. All of my jobs that I’ve worked were applied to with their own application and interview, I never had to hand in my own resume, therefore I never made one. I had some idea how to write a resume, but absolutely no clue on how to write a good one. I didn’t know how much to include, what was important and what wasn’t, etc. She outlined the basic format of a resume, the standard amount of bullet points, and with the job experiences I shared with her we figured out what was important to say about each one.

Monologue
Curves
the curve of a liquid shaping a cup the first few seconds of pouring it in
there is nothing more satisfying than curves I thought
as I watched it slide down the cup
so perfectly
there is nothing more satisfying than curves she thought
the curve of each letter of each word
so perfectly
filling up pages and pages of love letters, post cards, margins of notebooks
Trying to find myself in other people
the curve of each letter of each word
the curve of my nose ring, I have to be constantly changing
Ill change my skin with my tattoos, ill dye my hair over 20 times
My friends pierce my ears when we’re bored
The curve of my nose ring, I have to be constantly changing
having a heavy belief in universal forces observing the curves of the rings around saturn
trying to embrace it for the first time
Because I used to blame everything and everyone but myself
Trying to embrace it for the first time
Embrace the curves of leaves on trees when I walk down my block
Take a breath let air fill up my lungs
Appreciate the curve of my cats ears, how to love the little things
as I watched it slide down the cup
following the curve of the vicious cycle of bad habits and self destruction
Thinking of my 16 year old self, losing herself in substance like everyone else did
Just to forget a little bit, I watch her pick up a bottle
the curve of a liquid shaping a cup the first few seconds of pouring it in
