Time...always ticking by, slipping away and although seemingly infinite, there is never enough of it in a day.
All too often we as college students and young adults choose not to recognize and take full advantage of the precious nature of our time. In an attempt to delay the realization of our newly acquired fast-paced and seemingly stressful lives we hit the metaphorical "snooze button" on certain aspects of life and time. This can be viewed as the act of procrastination or denial, but I think it is not necessarily complete laziness, but more of a failure to recognize the importance of consistent communication and interaction with society and the media on all levels.
Regrettably I must admit I have been hitting "snooze" on blogging in the last few months, but have now come to realize how quickly time passes and what I can hopefully achieve in making up for my time lost. My lack of posting over the past months brings to my attention and extremely pertinent and relevant concept in not only the practice of communications and PR, but life in general as well.
The snooze button doesn't stop time, it only makes the future come sooner...
Media and society are constantly changing and evolving with every second of the day. In order to be an active and informed citizen, as well as an effective communicator and PR practitioner you have to be aware of these technological innovations and societal changes affecting the global community. MY realization in terms of the world of PR as well as higher education at UGA is that this fast-paced society that we live in will not wait around or slow down for anyone. Whether or not we hit our "snooze" and delay our own knowledge of what is going on in the world around us in terms of technological and societal trends the world keeps moving along without us. Therefore, while it seems all too easy to allow ourselves as students and young adults to get wrapped up in the minute details of individual life, we must also remember that the longer we "snooze" the more we let pass us by. And remember...although you may be hitting "snooze" today, there is always someone that chose to get up and take notice of the world and everything it has to offer them. So get up, take notice and make use of all the resources made available to us every day!
