Creating my Career

I am flattered. I just came home from an interview with an elite public relations group here in Charleston, SC. I've been extended an internship with them and am thrilled to be doing what I love. Writing, researching and simply keeping up with businesses and their choices on how to advertise and gain public respect.

I recently made a choice to resign from the Resident Assitant position I occupied to make room for a possible internship for the spring semester. This choice was crucial. I am not confident in my decision and am totally ready and prepped for the internship opportunities.

The cognitive dissonance theory of communication by Leon Festinger, states that people sometimes undergo postdecision dissonance in which they have "strong doubts after making an important, close-call decision that is difficult to reverse" (Communication, Em Griffin). There is no doubt that I portrayed this type of dissonance when chosing to resign from my position as an RA. I am reassured now that I made the right choice, however, Festinger makes a comment that people can be motivated to communicate by this measure of dissonance.

Is this agreeable? How many times a day to people make decisions they regret?

There is an argument that aligns with "Live life to the fullest" but if making rash and abrupt decisions causes disruptions in your definition of success, what's the point?

I'm not regretting my decision to resign, I'm simply expectant that my new job will outweigh the experiences of my previous job. I hope this is the case and the gut feeling I have now, says that my expectations will be royally met. It is all really what I put it into it.
