I think it’s safe now.

So, I’ve previously mentioned on this blog that I’m up for an internship during the school year. Well, as it would turn out, I am, in fact, getting to do the internship. And I’m thrilled.

I start the internship at the Confederation Centre of the Arts next Monday (I think). I very much look forward to the opportunity and I expect to learn a lot while I’m there.

I also have a new post up at my Maclean’s OnCampus blog: Five reasons why going back to school sucks. (Don’t take it too seriously. It’s meant to be satire.)

Twitter, myUsearch & (Another) New Blog

I’ve started a second Twitter account (in addition to my account for East Coast Overture, I mean). This one is for my non-music related stuff: friends, random interests and, oddly enough, it’s also my professional blogging account. You can follow me at _jillianne_.

Today was my last day working for the college search website, myUsearch. I’ve been blogging for them since April 2008. This summer, I learned some online marketing tricks during an internship with them. It’s all definitely been a learning experience. It also taught me a lot about blogging. I may do a guest post for them once in a while but nothing major. So, thank you Elizabeth very much for the opportunity. It’s been wonderful working with you. Thanks a mill.

Lastly, I started another blog. (I’m sick, I know. I have a problem, I know. I should seek professional help for my addiction. I know.) I love lists. I love, love, love them. The new blog, Listlove, contains lists and nothing else. Maybe some humor. But mostly lists.

Guest Post, “How To Spot…” & a New Blog

Kill Jill Goes To College was back online when I woke up the next morning. No worries.

As a part of my online internship with myUsearch, I did a guest post at MyCampusChronicles: “How to Avoid Scams When Job Hunting Online“. That can be found here.

My newest post for my blog at MacLeans OnCampus was published last night: How To Spot a College Student.

I’ve also started a home/dorm/decor/decorating/photography/whatever blog: My Kingdom for a Margarita.

“10 Commandments” at Macleans OnCampus

I made a new post on my blog at Macleans OnCampus. It’s another humor post. I seem to be doing a lot of those these days. But it’s good, I enjoy writing them.

This one is called “10 Commandments of the Summer Job”. Enjoy!

Also, I decided to remove the “Published” page from this blog. I haven’t updated it in ages. Besides, I post all my recently published stuff on here anyway. So, it’s not a big deal.

Three new posts

I have 2 new posts published at the myUsearch blog, both concerning their recent scholarship contest. “Check out Meet Our Scholarship Winner, Chelsea Lorimor!” and “Does the SAT/ACT Measure Me? The Students’ Perspective“.

Also, I’ve done three posts for my Maclean’s OnCampus blog (That’s What Jill Said) but I think my latest is worth showing off: College: Lies You Should Tell Your Parents.

Two articles in The Buzz!

I was assigned an article for monthly Charlottetown arts newspaper The Buzz: do an interview with Rawlins Cross lead singer Joey Kitson in honour of the recently released compilation album and band reunion. After some phone tag and a very brief interview, I submitted my second article. It was published in the music section and you can see the finished product online here: Rawlins Cross reunion: Folk rock band reunites in support of Anthology album.

I submitted a second article after an email interview with Canadian comedy legend Jeremy Hotz. To my surprise, it was published in this month’s issue as well! Hurrah! You can check it out online here: What a Miserable Tour: Comedian Jeremy Hotz to appear at Confed’ Centre.

“Blogger” article in Career Options Magazine

Christmas is almost here, thankfully- cause this cookie is in need of some rest. Plus, I have that little thing coming up. It’s not really important. Except I’m going to- oh, yeah- NEW YORK CITY FOR NEW YEAR’S!

Yeah, that’s right. You can say you’re jealous. It’s OK, I would be too.

In other news, my ugly mug has been featured in a magazine. This time, it’s in a Canadian magazine for college-bound high school students. Career Options Magazine: High School Edition found me via Kill Jill Goes To College and asked me to write an article about my college experience thus far. It seems like decades since I wrote the thing (and submitted a photo of myself, one taken by a classmate named Samantha MacKinnon). I asked the person from the website to send my contributor’s copies to my home instead of here at school because I wasn’t sure if I’d still be here when they got to me.

Well, they arrived in the mail today. Mom and Dad are both very proud. I guess the photo of me takes up an entire page, which is a little daunting. I’m just grateful the photo is a good one of me. The article is called “A Blogger Goes To College.”

The website has the article up on its website in PDF form and can be viewed here.

“20 Rules” in Convenience Store Decisions

An article I wrote for Kill Jill Goes To College, “20 Rules For The Convenience Store”, has been published in a magazine!
