Start of the blog

Well here I am.  Finally blogging again and I am going to try to keep this much more up to date and focused.  To start, I recently graduated from the University of Michigan (as you can probably note from "about me" section) and I'll be moving back in a few weeks from ann arbor to new york.  My parents live on long island (yessss LONG-GUYLAND!) and unfortunately I'll face the plight of most poor recent grads and move back in with them indefinitely until I save up enough to move out.

The situation isn't ideal, but I was able to secure an internship at a prominent pr agency that should transition into a full-time position.  I plan on writing a lot about my experiences there and everything else that comes a long with becoming part of the "real world."

On that note, I figure i'll leave a few random facts about myself:

1. I'm FREAKED out of pigeons.  Seriously, they are like flying rats.  I see them, I run.

2. I'm a twitter fanatic.  Follow me: @AlyMarks 

3. I am obsessed with all things Italian.  I'm fluent in the language.

I look forward to sharing my thoughts with anyone who is reading out there and hopefully I can provide some insight. 

Until tomorrow,

Aly
