Arianna O'Dell

This year, I had planned to spend the entire year in Europe. 3 months in Spain and then 9 in Denmark. Because of misleading information by my school, this week, my plans have been torn to shreds. (Thanks, UW!) Because of visa complications, now I am unable to live in Denmark.

Not only am I disappointment I will not be going to Denmark, but I am a tad bitter that I poured a big chunk of (nonrefundable) money into visas, insurance, and flights. Now, I am required to book a flight back to Seattle (even more $). If you were to have asked me 6 months ago, where I would be in a month, I would have said – Copenhagen. If you ask me right now, I have no idea.

What do you do when everything goes wrong?

You allow yourself to pout for one day. (This includes ice cream and mindless television)
What happens the next day? You pick yourself off the floor and get over it.

Right now, everything is okay. I’m thankful for so many things. I’m in Spain for goodness sake! I have my health. I have a roof over my head. I have amazing friends. If I have learned anything from this experience is that I have the best support system in the world. From twitter friends, to IRL friends, you are all the freaking best. That’s all I have to say.

So what’s next?

No idea. I will be coming back to Seattle around the 20th of December. After, I have decided to officially start looking for a full-time job. I’m open to relocation and new adventures. Here’s to the future!

What I’m looking for :
A marketing or biz dev position in digital media. I’m looking for a job where I can use my passion for marketing to help take a business to the next level.
Industries of interest : music, consumer goods, travel, entertainment

Know of any openings? Wanna look at my portfolio? Here it is!

I got my coffee and I’m ready to work!
