I'm bad at Wordpress 

I’m bad at WordPress 

Don’t judge my incomplete posts, I’m still fine tuning my blogging skillz.

where da grub @?

I truthfully don’t know how else to lay this out without it sounding like I want a pity party.

The ‘professionals’ claim I need to avoid  Fructose | Lactose | Gluten

Yeah, that’s already a TON.. but, I know my body. 

One may look at this list and deem this diet impossible, but it’s happening.

I also rule out  MSG | Soy | ….everything tasty

Now, one may ask: “What the hay do you eat?!?” (Believe…

Yep.

WHEN I WAKE UP AND REALIZE I ATE SOMETHING WRONG LAST NIGHT:

It probably sounds cliché considering I'm "growing up" but, I'm at the point where everything is starting to make sense. 

I've been coming to miraculous realizations that I instantaneously feel like I need to jot down, or I might space it. 

I understand the aspect of blogging now, (I didn't see the point before). I get that it's a virtual journal but who truly wants to read my journal I thought.. A diary, maybe. But journal, boring. 

Then I thought, 'Okay, going to go back and check out my collection of childhood memoirs.' Just as to be expected, they're a joke. Ages seven through 15, the content extends from, "My brother can never come in my room again!" to, "I really like so-and-so." Basically, very materialistic and a mentality that lived solely on the surface. 

So what is it that deepens our well-being? Loss? Failure? Turmoil? 

Sure, all of those things can attribute to one say, maturing. But, what is it really that molds us into our spectacular selves?

I think it's experience. Experience. Experience! EXPERIENCE!

If one is lounging around on their hiney all day watching back to back episodes of Breaking Bad while eating Cinnamon Chex cereal right out of the box... Yep, that has to be the breaking point. 

I have a plethora of thoughts, ideas, schemes, and plans that are just percolating in my noggin. My handwriting skills are not up to par, so I figured why not blow off some steam and test the blogging waters. 

I plan to compile some sort of a book someday, so maybe, this can be my fancysauce trial run.

Final Project Post

Personally, I think that there are four types of bloggers: people who like to blog their every move, foodies, people who know how to blog but like to do it tastefully, and people who do not know what a blog is. I can now fit into the category of knowing how to blog and posting tastefully.

 I had always wanted to create a blog, but didn't know quite where to start. This project gave me the opportunity to do a trial run on a different type of social media that I was not accustomed to. It provided me with a lot of random insightful tips for other important projects I’m sure I will endure throughout my last couple years. 

Throughout the semester I learned that I need to always hold myself accountable, I always need to stay curious and no matter what I need to always take the scariest path because that is what is going to lead me to success.

This is Charlie. As you can see, he is a beast.

Bio-mania

The name’s Whitney Otto. I've been puddle jumpin’ since 1991 in Lincoln, NE. I pride myself with a vibrant zest for life, constantly looking for the positive aspect of everything I overcome and endure. I am one of the hardest workers out there (besides my dad). I have three part-time jobs, which consist of waitressing, coaching youth soccer and working as a telecounselor/student recruiter at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Office of Admissions. Due to several food intolerances, I live a very healthy lifestyle. Also, I have a 20lb Chihuahua named Charlie and yes, he was named after the video ‘Charlie bit my finger’.

Step 1: Getting Smart

I began my college experiences at Southeast Community College-Lincoln in the Visual Publications program. I completed all of my classes for that first quarter and then withdrew from the program. My reason for withdrawing was solely based on my first day of classes. My teacher made the statement, “If you enjoy working behind the scenes with graphic design and not getting credit for your work, then this field is for you”. At that exact point I knew I was in need of a whirlwind of alteration of my career choice because I am a people person all the way. I then worked hard to complete my Associate of Arts Degree at SCC and transferred to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. There I was looking to get a bachelor’s degree in Business. Little did I know, that was not my destined path. I made it through halfway through my semester with a jam-packed class schedule and suddenly I thought to myself, “get me out now”. At that point in time I had no idea what was planned for me. I didn’t even know if I wanted to go back, that’s how bad my first collegiate semester experience was.

Step 2: Discovering my likes, dislikes and my superpowers

Thankfully, I made the executive decision to schedule a monstrous amount of meetings with a wide range of career advisers. After the long haul of career assessment inventories and self-evaluations, I figured out that Public Relations field suits me as the cherry on top of my banana split.

With each college course I take, all fresh experiences I undergo and every new person I meet, I figure out that not only I am in the right place but I am sure am headed down the right trail. Now that I found my niche, I just need to gain some experience, create a network, do some hard-work, and I’m in. Right now, all that I know is I'm going to do something super awesome. I may not have exactly narrowed it down to what yet, but it’s going to be big.
