<\/a>As many of you may have seen, COM has been hosting the #myCOM<\/a> campaign throughout the year where students can post different aspects of their personal COM experience.\u00a0 Last Friday, we celebrated COM in a Day with small contests and raffles throughout the day for those who participated.\u00a0 While I sent a couple tweets here and there, I thought I would share what a day in my COM life is all about.<\/p>\n

9:30 \u2013 Mass Communication Research class with Professor Danehy<\/b>.\u00a0 This is one of the required courses for Mass Communication students and to be honest, I was not thrilled about it.\u00a0 But it has turned out to be one of the most useful classes I\u2019ve taken in college.\u00a0 Professor Danehy teaches us as those who will consume research, not conduct it which makes it much more manageable.<\/p>\n

11:00 \u2013 Work in Student Services<\/b>.\u00a0 I\u2019ve had a work-study job in the COM Advising office since freshman year.\u00a0 While it has been really helpful for myself to know all of the policies of COM and BU, I also really enjoy getting to work with the advisors and COM students day-to-day.\u00a0 And I think my friends appreciate the mini-advising appointments I can give them in our apartment.<\/p>\n

1:00 \u2013 COM Tour for prospective families<\/b>.\u00a0 If I could get paid to give tours of COM everyday, I wouldn\u2019t think twice.\u00a0 I LOVE meeting interested students and their parents and sharing my experiences with them.\u00a0 In addition to being a COM Ambassador, I am also one of the coordinators of the program and get to work with the 19 other students who share are equally enthusiastic about COM as I am.<\/p>\n

3:00 \u2013 COMlife meeting<\/b>.\u00a0 Once a week, the six cast members and two producers of COMlife get together to talk about what we are all working on, what we are filming, and what we all want to accomplish in the next episode.\u00a0 It\u2019s a great time to all catch up on each other\u2019s lives and see what everyone is working on.\u00a0 It also just reminds me who amazing the people around me are and definitely drives me to do as much as I can.<\/p>\n

5:00 \u2013 PRSSA meeting. <\/b>Joining the BU chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America was one of the best decisions I made at school.\u00a0 They bring in fantastic speakers and is a great resource for internships\/interviews\/PR, especially for students who are just getting started.<\/p>\n

Evening \u2013 Homework & Group Meetings<\/b>.\u00a0 By the time you leave COM, you will be a pro at group projects.\u00a0 I\u2019ve worked in teams of everything from two to 10 and you really get used to balancing work with others and accomplishing things together.\u00a0 Because I usually have class, work, or my internship from 9-5 during the day, the evenings are when homework happens.<\/p>\n

I would love to hear about a day in your COM life \u2013 tweet me @KateScott10 and don\u2019t forget #myCOM!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
