About Me:

My name is Steph, and I am a senior Marketing major with a Communication Studies minor. Since this is my last year at Butler, my main goal is to enjoy every moment that I have left, while doing as much as humanly possible. I am a marketing analyst at the Butler Business Accelerator, a Speakers Lab tutor, and a Butler blogger (obviously). I also am an Alpha Phi, the President of the Butler University Student Foundation, a member of Alpha Kappa Psi (a professional business fraternity), and a member of the Butler American Marketing Association. In the small amount of free time that I do have, I love crafting, watching large amounts of television, and enjoying my favorite comfort foods, like sweet tea.

I love that I love Marketing.

Posted on May 12, 2011 by Stephanie

You know how some people change their minds constantly about what they want to do with their lives?  Well, in high school I was one of those people.  I was between psychology, education, business, and a few other options…until one day when my sister and I sat down and hashed out all the details and options.  That is when I decided to major in Marketing…and ever since then I have just been hoping that it was the right choice.  Luckily… I’m sure of it now….for several reasons.

  1. For the first time since my Calc class freshman year….I enjoy taking tests.  Seriously.  I didn’t know that happened…..but apparently it does.  (Yes…I did enjoy Calc…I was weird like that.)
  2. I love going to my Marketing classes.  Even when I had Intro to Marketing last semester at 8 a.m., I loved it…and I didn’t fall asleep during it….even though it was at 8 a.m.  Since then I have also had Marketing Research and Advertising & Promotion, and I loved both of them too.
  3. I am so much better at studying for Marketing.  Maybe it is because I enjoy the concepts more, or maybe it is something else…I don’t know….but I do know that I like it.
  4. I am so excited to intern this summer and next school year!  Even though my internship this summer isn’t exactly Marketing, I think I will be able to apply Marketing in some way, because I do it basically every day now!
  5. Butler’s Marketing faculty is basically amazing.  That’s all there is to it.  I’ve loved every professor I’ve had in class or met so far.

Knowing that I really do enjoy Marketing is great….because I am a senior now….and I don’t want to have to switch at this point….so thank goodness for that.  I can now finish up my time at Butler knowing that I’m doing the right thing….SUCCESS!

The 4 P's...the basis of every day of class for me.

It’s official…I’m a senior in college.

I finished finals exactly two days ago…and I think I am slowly getting my life back together.  Here is how life has gone for the few days since my last blog…

  • Saturday – I got up earlier than I ever want to get up for the rest of my life…at around 4:15 for the Mini Marathon.  I went downtown, filled up around 40,000 cups of water, and gave them to the runners and walkers for almost 5 hours.  Then I packed up my car to take as much of my stuff home as possible…and drove home.  That night was my old Dance Studio’s recital, and since it was the 20th anniversary, old dancers and teachers all came back to celebrate.

Some of the other princesses and I at the Mini Marathon...

  • Sunday - This was Mother’s Day, so after church we had my Grandma and Grandpa over for lunch.  Afterwards, I studied.  And then I studied some more.
  • Monday – I got up early and drove back to Butler, and when I arrived I found an almost empty room, with no carpet, rugs, or a futon.  One of my roommates (Liz) had completely moved out, another (Meghan) was in the process of moving everything out, and only Lauren and I had all of our stuff still there.  I had a few meetings during the afternoon, and I spent the rest of my time studying until I went to an outreach at an elementary school in Brownsburg.  After that, I studied more…and more…and more.  Around 1 a.m. I tried to nap where our futon used to be, but since that meant I was sleeping half on the tile floor and half on a large pillow, that was a failure, so I went to bed a little while later.
  • Tuesday - I got up really early to finish studying, took my Marketing Research final, then almost immediately had to switch gears and take my Corporate Finance final.  The best part was, after that I was done.  I picked up one of my other finals that had just been graded, chatted with some friends at Starbucks…and then started to pack up my life.  It was a great last night at Butler, because after I got to a good stopping point with packing I went to dinner with a friend and then hung out with a bunch of friends…and for the first time in a long time I had no homework hanging over my head…and I was so glad to be done with classes…obviously.
  • Wednesday – I got up, packed my car, and drove home.  Once I got home, I didn’t even take the time to unpack…and I took a nap.  Then….I didn’t wake up for about…13 hours.  I think that I am caught up on sleep now.  Or I hope that I am.

So today I have been trying to motivate myself to unpack and figure everything out.  I started by unpacking the car…which I was almost completely successful with.  I say almost because I got all but a HUGE plastic bin that I can’t lift alone….and most of my stuff didn’t make it past the kitchen or my back porch.  Maybe I’ll get a second wave of energy in a little bit?
