Funny Things I've Learned:
- You can never, never, ever have too much free Dominos pizza. Dominos is one of the rec sports sponsors and I swear students come to our events strictly to get the free pizza (which is ironic...given that we work in the health department...)
- At lunch people don't eat; people Stepp. Every professional in the McComas office makes you feel bad about yourself because they ALL skip eating lunch to go do an hour workout class around noon. I just sit quietly and eat my Ritz in the corner, crying tears into the keyboard...
- When your boss asks you to play your iPod over the speakers at a Champ Night when her's breaks, make sure your "Get Crunk" Pandora station isn't on default...
Those little tid-bids aside, I truly learned a lot from this experience. My boss Megan and her Graduate Assistant Brittanie were amazing to work with and trusted me with a lot. Getting to know the two other marketing assistants I worked with in the office twice a week as also a highlight. Having access to the universities golf cart and gym master keys is no fun if you have to galavant alone, right? Overall, I'm incredibly happy with my decision to take on the semester internship with the recreational sports marketing department and I look forward to discussing in depth everything I learned in my final reflection paper.
