The second week of my internship on Tuesday after our scheduled weekly intern meetings kicked off into full drive. I had more tasks this week versus last week, and so far so good. I feel like the toughest part this week would have to be how I have to management my time to complete my intern tasks with my schoolwork and job. It is hard having to manage everything but I like how I am finally getting experience as a copywriter/copy editor. I hope after graduation I won’t be as tired because I won’t have to deal with school courses anymore. I also had trouble with thinking of things to write a pitch for a dental business. I feel like media brands and entrepreneurs are easier to write for because they aren’t just a brand or building but individuals apart from their crafts. You can write more to bring more emphasis and exposure for the product they are trying to market. In two weeks, we’ll be helping with the launch of a new restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia. I’ll be assisting with the press release and the copy edits needed for the event. Another thing that has been interesting would have to be social media. I know it’s funny to hear, but I am not a social media person. Since the internship, I feel like I’ve been slightly more involved. I’m definitely taking baby steps.

Tomorrow will make it my first full week of being an intern at TGND Consulting. On Monday, I had my onboarding meeting where we went over all the paperwork, tasks, and materials that are needed to be an intern in the agency. I was very nervous because this is my first internship. I don’t know what to expect especially as a student trying to learn copywriting. I was nervous but I was very excited. It is my first step in the career field of copyediting and copywriting. My first assigned task was researching and making a presentation of the guests for Atlanta’s red carpet event for new actors, along with musicians and TV personalities. It was very interesting to look up the different guests and how they attributed their talents and career into the industry.

Although it was last minute, I was invited to attend the event too. It would be an amazing way to kick off the internship for this spring. I hope I get to do more things related to this in the weeks to come. Earlier today, I completed a task of writing a launch for a new product. I haven’t taken a marketing course before, but the assignment reminds me of it. To promote the product the company is trying to brand. The only thing that has been tough so far is scheduling. I have to be on top of time management not only for the internship but for my other five classes and for work.
