Welcome To The Real World

What’s up people! It’s about time I let you guys in on this long month I’ve had.

Lets start off with my job. I worked from August 13 to October 20, and let me tell you having a job with all AP courses in a magnet school is no walk in the park. Every night was a late night for me, my days consisted of working and studying no play. I think I got a heavy dose of what college is probably going to be like.

I also got my first acceptance letter people!! I got accepted into Tuskegee University school of Architecture. You know the school that birthed the Tuskegee airmen and George Washington Carver. I’ve always wanted to go to a school with a lot of great history, and it’s pretty close to home. This was not my first choice however, I still have to apply to the University of Alabama, Full Sail University, and VCU.

Now on to the Mymajors quiz! I wasn’t surprised by the results, I have thought about majoring in each of the fields:
Art
Film, Cinema and Video
Media arts
Management/bus. admin
Entrepreneurship

See half of the results consists of more artistic fields the other half more business like. I can go either way with this. I’ve always had conflicting ideas about whether I should major in something less stable but enjoyable, or more stable and possibly less enjoyable. I just want a job that I would love to go to everyday and still live comfortable at the same time. I want the best of both worlds.

I’ve taken art classes for as long as I remember so visual art is definitely a huge part in my life, but I don’t want to major in studio art only to become a teacher or struggling artist. I don’t want to go through what my family went through, a major goal in my life is to live comfortable sooner than later in my life.

I really want to get involved with the entertainment industry over in Hollywood. I know they could use my creative mind for something man, either in special effects or animation, maybe even directing. I’ve always been intrigued with film, I’m always looking for a work of art when I go to the movies.

My major will probably be decided spontaneously, it might even be changed a few times. I just know that it will involve my talent which is drawing in some form or another. I’m just a really creative individual who wants to make a lot of money, not just for myself but to help other people. I want to maybe open a business that employs artistic people like myself who want a steady living, artistic license, and a fun environment.

I recommend this Mymajors quiz to all people who need a sense of direction in their college search. This just reassured me that I should weigh all of my options out equally. So peace out everybody!! Remember to always do you, not what everyone else thinks you should do because you only live once.

I’m just your unusual right brained guy with a lot to say.
