Are You There, World? It's Me, Taylor
“Are you there, world? It’s me, Taylor.” My thoughts exactly as I reminisced about classic coming-of-age novel "Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret" by Judy Blume. I’m graduating college soon, and have no idea what to do now. I’m currently a marketing major at Tulane University in New Orleans who is passionate about fashion, music, travel, food, and Taylor Swift. Join me in my clueless networking journey as we hear from some really cool people and how they got their careers. Fingers-crossed the world answers my prayers!
