hey bonnie, I'm so glad you posted this video because I'm a first year college student and I'm not quite sure what I'm doing but this helped me a tonnn. I was just wondering, did you have to pay for your internship? I looked on the website you said you found your internship, dream careers, and it says you have to pay tuition. is that true?

@pckrs4ever i did have to pay, but with dream careers it covered your two month stay, a complete resume do ever, they basically found all the jobs for you, but then you had to interview and then pick which fit best for you. It also included a $500 food card (so you never had to pay for food), transportation to and from your job AND fun events every weekend. We went to vegas (all paid for), baseball games, nights out in san diego, the zoo and stuff like that. I thought it was worth it!

@SushiRockStar well even as a hobby a resume can have more then job history, you can add achievements and such. I think it would help bc it shows your interest and passion of fashion and communicating about it. and when your channels successful that's a bonus. :)

@collegemakeupgirl i completely agree. However since i also vlog on this account, i just wanted to keep some things private. They now know about my youtube (and it's no problem, they actually think it's cool!) but you never know how some companies may react. Instead, i mentioned that i was active in the blogging world, that i was up to date on the latest trends and thought that some markets were being missed by ignoring the growing popularity of fashion blogs :)

I don't know what I want to do with my life and it's the worst feeling ever!

[SushiRockStar]

@everydayusage it's ok! i didn't know what i wanted to do right away. Blair (my boyfriend) got a degree and is now back in school studying something else. Nothing is wrong with that.
