Spring cleaning at Cookerly brought a few surprises.
As I slowly stripped my desk of old newspapers, ancient files and (by far the most embarrassing) a to-do list hidden in a back drawer from my intern days… I came across a familiar cream envelope.
In December I met @LaurenHughes, a PR major at UGA, for lunch and offered her internship search advice from my Grady days.
The following week, that same cream envelope landed on my desk. A far cry from my usual newspaper subscriptions, I had gotten “real” mail.
Before you think I’m 105, I’ll preface my point.
I’m an addict of all things new media. A child of the AIM generation, I was tweeting before it became a social phenomenon. Heck, I even bought my wedding gown on craigslist. That said, every once in a while, I force myself to back away from the screen.
I’m a huge fan of not letting the classics fade away, and a hand-written thank you is at the top of my list. I follow students on Twitter, am Facebook friends with several, connect to them on LinkedIn, but written conversations are few and far between.
