It comes with being a senior
No I’m not talking about taking my teeth out or eating at Luby’s before a night of Bingo. I’m talking about a question I’ve been asked a lot this Summer. What do you want to do when you graduate?
Huh! Good question. After three years of college schooling, I’m still not 100% sure. I mean I have my ideas, but I’m not exactly sure of what path I’m going...

Hole in One
This past weekend was very busy for the Amarillo Bulls and the Blue team. In case you haven’t been caught up, I’m participating in the Ultimate Sports Internship, which is a competition similar to the TV show the Apprentice. Well the Blue Team (it’s red v blue) had two events for the local hockey team for two different golf tournaments this weekend: Hooters, and The Special Olympics.

Vacation's all I ever wanted
Okay, so it may not be exactly as it looks in the picture above, but you can still dream right?
This trip back home has been exactly what I needed - a break. The week and days leading up to me coming home weren’t exactly the best. Internships, jobs, and social life were not blending very well together and it was catching up to me. I’ve learned a lot this summer so far, but right...

5 things you need to know about making a...
Not that I’m any kind of expert or anything, but there has been a lot I’ve learned since the start of my Senior Project and this Cambodia Documentary and here are five tips that I think anyone can use when tackling such a task.
1. THIS IS GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME
This is probably the most underestimated thing that I thought about before coming into this project. I thought...

Video Calling
This past Wednesday Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, announced video calling within in Facebook. He also announced group chat, and a new chat interface - all of which have been debuted on Facebook. It’s been highly surprising to tell my friends about the Facebook news, and find out that they are clueless as to what happened.
They didn’t even know they could do that in Facebook. Once...

The icing on the 60 square foot cake
For the second time in a row, I’ve been a part of using social media to garner people’s attention to attend a local large scale event. One of the clients for NoBox Creative is Wonderland Amusement Park, and this year they turned 60!
