Scary Times!

For as long as I can remembe, I've had a passion for writing. Currently, I'm a senior at the University of Kansas and I still have that passion. However, I find it to be daunting, really, that the only thing I'll be paid to write will most likely involve memos or briefs. I want to report; tell people the necessary information in order to spike their interest or improve their lives!

I'm sort of at an impass. Do I take the run of the mill job and try to be happy, or do something that I KNOW will make me happy. The problem is, how do I know whether or not it will pay off? I guess thats the meaning of taking a chance.

Ultimately, I would love to publish and design my own magazine. I know- that sounds insane considering print media is essentially dead- but my god! How amazing would it be to present your image- your passion to the masses on pages and pages of high gloss paper? Where is the magazine that combines the social AND politial lifestyles? You can talk about so much more than politics. Look at archetypes, for instance... Take a political situation and analyze the individual spearheading the issue- why colors is he or she wearing? What do they mean? How are they presenting the topic? I know, that seems very bland and uninteresting- but it's the first thing that came to mind under pressure.

Moving forward--- I also love to tell stories. Literally, when surrounded by a group or when I'm on camera- I couldn't be happier. I love making people laugh. I love discovering the simillarities between myself and the people around me- it's the bonding force that allows us to create relationships and conversation.

Scary Times.
Who will I be?
