A year ago I was doing an unpaid, marketing internship for a night club in Chicago. Since then, I've done two internships at two of the largest public relations agencies in the world, and secured a full-time position working on public relations campaigns for some of the most renowned video game franchises in the industry. I've moved to a new city, met new people, and while there's been a few hiccups along the way and challenges that still need conquering, it's been a surreal experience that's been so unique, educational and rewarding.
I have a job I'm genuinely invested in, I work with people whose company I enjoy, I have family and friends who I can always rely on for support, and I have a Xbox and television to waste hours and hours playing "Halo."
And that's what I'm thankful for.
