Josh,
First of all I want to thank-you for saying kind words to our program at Auburn. I am one of the PR students that is commenting on Marcom and I find it interesting and scary at the same time that soon we will be out on our own in whatever career we decide to go into. For a the early part of the semester I have often wondered what was the point of having blogs. I know that there are many advantages of having blogs. I also can name many disadvatages of having blogs as well. I for one did not have a clue what a blog was until this past summer, and now it seems like I spend a majority of the time posting and commenting and thinking about what I can talk about next. I think it is good though, for many reasons. I think that soon blogs will help to shape the PR industry. I see many examples of blogs on home pages of many websites of big corporations and small ones. A year or so ago, there was no talk of blogs, and if there was, it was very little.

Now as I say this you will probably find many grammatical errors and mistakes on my page and in this comment, but I have found that my writing for whatever reason has become better. I guess it was right when our professors told us, "the more you write, the better you become." It is scary to think that one day we will become leaders in this industry, but I feel and hope our professors has taught us well in getting a glimpse into the real world.

We are all close friends in all our classes and we talk about how soon graduation is coming on us. For whatever reason though, whether it be to find a job, enhance our writing skills, or get story ideas for our next major assignment, blogs have helped us whether we want to admit it or not. Thank-you for mentioning us on your page. It really does mean a lot.
