The What Ifs and Why ?

I always wonder if the major I picked is what I really want, if its the correct one, if I will become successful in this major, and if this major will make me happy. So many what ifs and questions that at the moment won't be answered. But then I ask my self why did I pick this major and their are a lot of positive responses that I have for why I choose public relations. Maybe right now I'm uncertain and a bit confused but hopefully in the future all these doubts about my major will be cleared away. But like they say you will never know if your good at something unless you try it. So maybe this is the correct career path or maybe its not but by the end of it I will discover if the decision I made was the correct one or if it wasn't. 

Fear of Public Speaking

Today I realized how much I dislike public speaking and that for my major its part of the job. I had a big fear of public speaking it got to the point I even decided I wanted to change my major because I thought that if I had this fear it would be a big obstacle in my career. I was wrong because yes maybe I have a fear in public speaking and I'm sure everyone at some point was scared of speaking in front of people you don't know but you can overcome this fear and thats exactly what I plan to do  I plan to overcome my fear in public speaking by facing it. In addition to this, I realized that if I would way the pros and cons of my major that public speaking would be the only con and trying to change my major would have been the easy way out but Im glad I changed my mind on time and decided to fight my fear.

Public Relations And Social Media

Today, social media plays a big part in the everyday life of an individual because most people are now getting connected through websites like Facebook, twitter, Instagram, and many more social media sites. What does public relations have to do with that ? well many companies or people who have PRs working for them can use social media to release certain information they want others to know or if they are promoting a specific cause they can reach out to many more people they can do it  though sites like Facebook or twitter. In addition to this public relations can work hand in hand with social media by monitoring the conversation with your brand online, sharing stories, creating a key message document, documenting interviews and putting up fun photos. Because today many people see social media as a credible source to get information from, since many people see information through social media before they even see it on the news.
