Super Bowl Ad

I like this Snickers Super Bowl ad because when I'm hungry I get really moody and my friends and I always joke about it. It's a really funny commercial because a lot of people get moody or tired if they are hungry and want some sugar in their system. Snickers has had many different versions of this commerical, and I think it keeps working because of its light vibe that everyone can relate to.

All About Me

As a senior in high school my goals and dreams were much different than they are now. I never would have expected to attend San Jose State University or be involved in greek life on campus. It's amazing that in just a few short years so much about my life has changed.


High school seemed like it was going to matter for the rest of my life, and all the friends I had were going to be there forever. Now my life is completely different and I really could not have asked for anything better. 


My name is Stephanie Parker and I am a junior at San Jose State University. My sophomore year I decided to change my major to public relations and ended up being really interested in it. My freshman year I joined a sorority and met my future bridesmaids. I know it sounds cliché, but I really did meet my best friends through joining a house. 


I just recently moved out of the Delta Gamma house, and moved into a house with five of my best friends. I would have never expected to fall in love with this school or meet the people I have met that have changed my life.

Now that I am a junior in college things seem to be falling perfectly in place. Along with school and sorority life I work at a retail store in the mall called Metropark. I have been working there for a year now and plan on getting another retail job in the near future.


Since it’s the beginning of a new year I have set some high goals for myself to achieve. This year I plan on getting an internship, and hopefully by next year I will graduate on time. After I graduate college I plan on attending graduate school somewhere in Southern California. If all goes well I will attend graduate school and get a job at a Public Relations Firm and continue to be successful.
