On the Road Again

So as Graduate Assistants in the Office of Admissions at MSU, there are days when we are asked to cover college fairs and private visits at high schools and community colleges around the state. Today's travels found me and my coworker, Drew, in the booming metropolis of Blue Springs. Home of the new Toyota Plant and the East Union Urchins (for clarification, the Urchin is their actual mascot). Today's college and career fair was from 8:30am-11:00am.

Yes, we took turns taking each other's picture at the table. Don't hate. Drew and I were lucky to have Megan, our friend and the MUW recruiter right beside us. She made for great company.

Drew spent half the morning encouraging the male students to talk to Megan. Apparently the "MS University for Women" intimidated them; even though we reminded them that the odds were in their favor. Megan is such a trooper.

Nothing says "official" like a business card. If anyone wants one, I have an over abundance of them. Quite literally, I have 1,000 or more. The problem is, I don't know that many people. Help a sister out. Save a tree. Actually, the tree has already been used for the cards, so maybe I should say "put a tree to good use".


Best part of traveling across the state? The music selection for the drive. Nothing helps you pass an hour or more like the "A Whole New World" station on Pandora. Singing Disney songs at the top of my lungs made the drive seem like nothing...and I'm sure Drew was amused. He drove home, and I played DJ. Doesn't this make everybody want to drive for extended periods of time with me as the copilot?

Best song from the Disney station? A classic from Mary Poppins. What made my day better? The fact that Drew also knew some of the words.

This song, combined with a humorous text message resulted in a spurt of uncontrollable laughter. Watch and enjoy, my friends. Watch and enjoy.

If this didn't make you smile, then I'm sorry for wasting your time. I hope this makes you all insanely jealous of my job. Just an extra special glimpse into my life. You're welcome.
