To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Stella. I am emailing to ask if [company name] has any internships or job opportunities available.  I have just completed my undergraduate studies at the University of California, Riverside, receiving a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration/Marketing in just three years.  I believe my qualities, skills, and work ethic along with my passion and creativity will make me a valuable asset for the [company name] team. 

and it goes on and on.. I’ve sent out nearly 15 of these already.  

3 replied: “Thank you for your interest, but we are currently not accepting any interns at this time.” 

The rest just didn’t bother to reply.

Um. Hello. I’ve just graduated with a degree! Why do I feel like my business classes have taught me relatively nothing in the past 3 years? Here I am, about to face the real world, and I’m not even sure where to start.  

But here is what I do know: I need to wake up from my college haze and get focused.  I need to explore my interests and find my passions.  So, this is where blogging comes in as a valuable life tool. I want to use this tumblr as a nice little scrapbook where I can research, collect, and exercise my rusty writing skills as I figure out a new chapter of my life.  

We’ll see how it goes.

Things I Love:
my pitbull, Hello Kitty, the herbals, correct grammar, dark beer, MMA, scary movies, bass, the bed, creativity, good food & good friends.

I used to believe in fairy tales.
But now I believe in optimism with a healthy dose of reality.

As far as life goes, I'm still figuring things out.
But, I'm determined to be happy.
