Let Me Introduce Myself

Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog!! I’m not really used to doing things like this, as I’ve only posted once on LinkedIn. I will be posting twice a week (ish), so get ready for lots of blogs!

Anyways, my name is Karynn, pronounced like Corinne, not Karen. I’m a senior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, majoring in Advertising/PR and Economics. The last couple years when people have asked what I want to do, I have said “I’m not really sure, but I have time to figure it out!” Now I’m a second semester senior, and I’m running out of time. But I think I want to do something in marketing so I can combine my analytical and numbers-based mindset with the knowledge I have gained from my advertising classes. The right opportunity will come to me!

I’m from Waxhaw, North Carolina, which is south of Charlotte. No one knows what Waxhaw is so most of the time I just say Charlotte. I loved my high school. I was a part of so many activities, like track, club soccer, school soccer (for a year), clubs; I always felt like I had something to do. Transitioning to college was hard at first because I didn’t have “automatic friends” from the various activities I did. While there are plenty of activities to pursue in college, it’s still hard to put yourself out there. For me, I am often shy before I know someone, but once I am more comfortable, I break out of my shell. I still keep in touch with a couple of my best friends from high school and have made some great friends in college also!

Moving on to sports, I grew up a UNC (mostly basketball) fan, so choosing to go here was an obvious choice. I was also cursed with being a Philadelphia sports fan, which as of late hasn’t been so bad. My dad always says me and my brother have experienced relatively good Philadelphia sports, whereas he hasn’t been so lucky. Speaking of my dad and brother, I love my family!! My mom, dad, and brother are my best friends (fun fact: my parents have the same name). My brother goes to Texas A&M and we are visiting him in February, so maybe there will be a blog post about that. I also have a boyfriend, and he’s in pilot school right now! Can’t wait for him to fly me around everywhere!!

Thanks for reading my first blog, I hope it was great!! Stay tuned for the rest of the semester where you can learn more about me :)
