Hello there, and welcome to So It Must Be True! Please make yourself at home. I hope you’ll stay a while!
My name is Valerie Moses and I recently received my Bachelor of Arts in Advertising & Public Relations, along with a minor in Hospitality Management. I love learning about brand development and how companies communicate with their target audiences, and I hope one day to combine my passion for writing with my love for event planning.
Over the past few years, I have taken on public relations, marketing and news-related internships at several organizations and agencies, and when I graduate next semester, I hope to pursue a full-time public relations coordinator position. My writing has been featured in The South Florida Sun Sentinel’s Teenlink, Insight Magazine and Florida MD. I am always looking for new adventures and opportunities in writing, so please visit my Contact page if you’re looking for a writer or guest blogger! I can also be reached at vmoses90@gmail.com.
About this blog: In June 2010, I created So It Must Be True with the hope of sharing a few scattered thoughts with anyone who would listen. Two and a half years later, this blog has become much more than that. So It Must Be True has essentially become the story of a young college student learning about the world around her and developing her own truths. Read a few posts and you’ll quickly learn that everything inspires me – from classic literature to crazy reality television – and I try to make connections between pop culture and real life. I like to sprinkle in a little humor when possible, and although I don’t generally write about the events that are currently taking place in my life, each post carries a piece of me with it. My readers have been incredibly supportive, and I am fortunate to hear from each of you.
On a personal note: An old movie junkie, my celebrity idol is Audrey Hepburn and my one true pairing is Katharine Hepburn/Spencer Tracy. I have a ukulele that I will one day learn to play, and a pair of running shoes that I have put to good use in my recent half-marathon training. One day, I hope Mindy Kaling will write an episode of my life, and that Ryan Gosling will co-star as my boyfriend. My books are alphabetized and my clothes are color-coordinated. I love planning events, attempting healthy new recipes (and not burning down my kitchen) and learning about the people around me.
Follow Me: Hey, Twitterverse! Or is Pinterest what you’re into?
Have you checked out CollegeLifestyles.org? They’re looking for interns — check it out =]
I just looked at their site and it looks amazing! Unfortunately I don’t know if I’d be able to get an application in on time by the 31st (tomorrow). Do they hire by semester or just in the fall? Because if they do it by semester then I could always try for the spring!
Just came across your blog, Val. Good stuff! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! (: I really appreciate it… glad you like it!
Awesome site, Val!
Thank you very much!

Wooooo!
Hey Vel,
Seems like we are of same age, but you are far more smarter than me. I do not write much but seriously loved your writing and more than that your schedule to write. Nice to know this. By the way are you in UFL, gainsville. I am also thinking to join it next year as a graduate student.
Bye

Awww thank you so much! I do not attend UF… I considered it briefly but found my home somewhere else. Plenty of my friends go there and love it, though– I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!
Thanks for all of your feedback. I will definitely check out your blog!
I just came across your blog, and was surprised by how much we have in common. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Oh yay!
I will definitely have to stop by your blog!
love your blog because of your writing style. i will definitely be checking in. congrats on freshly pressed-that’s how i found you!
Thank you so much! : ) I’m really excited about that… it came as a total shock to me but I was just so thrilled to see it. I really appreciate your comment!
I just found your blog via Freshly Pressed – congrats for making it on, by the by! I will definitely be back to visit
I graduated from FSU in 2009 and I can relate so much to a lot of what you say – especially the part about being soul mates with your major!
Thank you so much!
It’s so great to find something you love. I started college as a journalism major who knew she didn’t want to be a journalism major, and it really wasn’t fun introducing myself as that. A couple months later after some soul searching and a trip to Career Services, I landed on Advertising/Public Relations, and I couldn’t be happier! What did you major in? It’s nice to meet another student in Florida!
I was a Religion/Women’s Studies major – I focused on Tibetan studies
That’s so interesting… it’s so great to find something you’re passionate about. I’ve never met someone who studies that but that is really really cool!
awesome blog….. im your age and also love writing….. my blog is a baby-step in that direction, congratulations 4 making it to freshly-pressed.
Thank you so much! I’m only just starting but I love blogging and I can’t wait to get even more involved with it. I’ll have to check your blog out! Thank you
