We were all hanging out in our flat; we'd ordered a takeout as X Factor flashing in the background. We hadn't been paying much attention to it, just having conversations ourselves. Even Stef and Maisie managed to speak - it was honestly a miracle being performed before our eyes.

I looked over Ash's shoulder to find him rapidly tweeting, his fingers moving ridiculously fast. We all shut up and watched Jay's bias perform. We all screamed and cheered and clapped so loudly at the end of the performance we didn't even hear the judges' comments. They had done brilliantly. Nathan peeked at her screen and suddenly burst out laughing.

Out of curiousity, we all checked Jay's page, seeing possibly one of the most fangirly tweets ever. There was then an ad break and everyone took the opportunity to go for a pee or to get something to drink. I began to tidy away some of the empty boxes and Ash offered to help me.

Ash shrugged and suggested a date on his phone calendar. Ash nodded and shrugged, before turning round to face me. The hell? We'd been going out with him for a fortnight. Not even a blooming month! My jaw dropped in utter shock.

I joined the digital marketing and storytelling track. As part of the program, I needed to complete a Field Experience where I would utilize the tools and skills that I learned in our classes to aid a startup with marketing matters.

When my Experience Lab at Penn advisor was connecting me with startups I did not really think the startup I was introduced to was going to work out. The industries that I am interested in are hospitality and event planning, but those industries were negatively affected by Covid So another way in which my advisor helped me approach this was by focusing on the type of company I would have liked to work with in terms of culture, freedom in projects, and types of tasks to do.

I found it tough at first. But little did I know that I would love my position, the team, and their innovative product — something that was never on my radar. So I needed to look at the bigger picture. If I had not said yes to the opportunity to work for a petcare startup, I would not have learned that I love to create content for social media — from gifs, to videos, to infographics, to photography.

I also found it really rewarding to be able to create strategies and SMART goals that led to positive outcomes like surpassing our funding goal on kickstarter by 3x within a month or helping to design and build our e-commerce website. In a world of uncertainty, especially with Covid, you should take the opportunity to try something new and different that will help you grow. Your new adventure may help you build relationships that will guide you through your adventurous career path.
