It's my first time actually writing after getting back from my travels and although I have plenty of stories from my adventures in SouthEast Asia, I'm not quite ready to share them just yet. Instead- I'll be blogging again in an attempt to start my writing again even if it has nothing to do with my creative aspirations. I'm writing for the sake of writing.
I'm currently job hunting and it's going pretty slow. I've applied to several places that have nothing to do with my major and I'm pretty conflicted about that. I understand that my parents need a little extra income but it's kind of going against everything I stood for in college. I chose English Literature as a major because it instills creativity whilst mathematics and science are beautiful in their own sense, they don't involve imagination quite like Literature does. Getting back on topic with the job hunt, my mom suggested I work at the local Seven Eleven. Albeit I could work there because they have an open position, I realized that I had just finished 5 years of higher education and wait for it....dare I say it---aim a little higher? Money is important but they don't call us starving artists for no reason. I am an artist in my own right. I write-I create-I discover. I would rather dream big and dare to fail instead of playing it safe and not trying at all. In my honest opinion, I felt that the other departments such as math, science, and engineering were safe bets and thus I chose the opposite. Fingers crossed to be your next Librarian.
