Ever since I started writing in this blog again I have rediscovered just how much I enjoy writing. It has been excellent therapy for me lately. I may not be excellent in speech communication or artistic forms of expression, but I sure do enjoy putting words down on a page. Just recently I decided to also start keeping a journal. There is something so relieving about unloading any thought you have in a notebook that I often forget is inanimate. My notebook almost feels like it has a personality. A personality that is welcoming and doesn't judge what you about what you have to say.
About this time last year I decided to switch my major to something in writing. First it was English with an emphasis in creative writing and my interests have now shifted to majoring in communication with an emphasis in journalism. This is the first time I've switched to a major and have never seriously considered changing it. I look forward to taking more of my core classes and shaping exactly what I want to do for a career. Right now, I think I would like to write for a magazine or newspaper column. Another interest I have is becoming a copywriter (this may or may not have anything to do with the glamorous allure of the working conditions in Mad Men).
Will I change what I want to major in again? Quite possibly. Who knows what I'll end up doing? Where will I be ten years from now? Maybe I'll be working in food service again? Let's hope I decide to extract my eyeballs from their sockets with a dull spoon before then.
This blog will not be the last time you see my name credited in printed work.
