An introduction of sorts

Hi,

I'm Charlotte and i'm a student at Leeds Met Uni. I'm studying public relations, which I adore. I've been meaning to start a blog for the last year. I would like to say I just haven't got round to it, which being a student is believable. However, the real reason is I didn't think I had anything to say. Anyone who knows me will tell you I don't shut up so bit of a stupid thing to think really. Anyway, this is my blog I hope it will be interesting and more than likely very random. Hope you enjoy.

Below is my profile for PR for Leeds Met SU, thought it may be of interest.

Question One: Who is your role model?


I really want to say Dangermouse, as he’s so cool and super! Think it might need to be a real person though. Real person… I’d say Richard Branson and not just for the facial hair. He’s a multi-billionaire who started off selling old vinyl’s from the boot of his car. Genius! I admire him as he came from nothing and did it all himself; which is what I want to do. Because even though I come from Cambridge “Daddy” doesn’t pay for everything.


Question Two: Why Leeds and Why P.R?


I can’t even remember why or how I got this obsession with Leeds, but I have it. So choosing Leeds was pretty simple, except for the random three months at UEA, but we’ll forget that. As for PR that’s simple, a computer told me to. I did one of them random tests and it came up with PR, Marine Biology and Accounting. Tried the accounting for three months didn’t get on so well with that and am now giving PR a go. So far so good, rather like this vocation, so don’t think I’ll be moving on to Marine Biology anytime soon.


Question Three: What would be your ideal profession apart from Public Relations be?


Easy or what….I want to be a ROCKSTAR!!!!! Who doesn’t? One slight problem though I can’t play an instrument. So next best thing be their PR.


Question 4: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?


Still travelling the world. Apparently we are estimated to live till we’re 125. Figured I’ve got ample time to make my millions owning my own PR Company and settle down. After I’ve finished my degree and got at least a 2:1, I plan to see the world. Start in Russia, down to Asia, then to Australia, stop off in South America, make my way to Africa, get some street food in India then back on home soil. This might take me a while as I plan to volunteer and do PR work in a few of these places. Hence, the still travelling in 5 years time.
