Today, Skeeter and I went to go see the Beets-
no, wait, this isn't right. Sorry, but every time I think about writing down my thoughts, I always hear Billy West's character Doug Funny writing to his Journal at the beginning of every episode (or on a roll of toilet paper in that one episode where he lost his journal). You might also recognize Billy West's voice from Futurama, or from the Bumblebee from the Honey-Nut Cheerios commercials. I think he's also the red M&M. The reason I bring all this up is because it is a part of who I am- an amalgamation of pop culture references and obscure movie quotes. For some reason I can still remember details from a show I haven't really watched in almost ten years, and yet when it comes to learning things that might help me find a career I'm clueless.
I've been spending a lot of time thinking about my career lately. For the longest time I coasted through education, struggling in classes I didn't care about even though they were related to my major. I hadn't given it too much thought farther than, "well, I guess I learned that I don't want to do that for a living." But now as I near the end of my college career (two semesters' worth of classes left) and some of my friends are moving on from theirs, I'm wondering when I'm going to start learning new things that I enjoy and that are applicable for a job. I am incredibly interested in the most useless things (video games, comics, TV shows and movies) and can recite quotes and useless trivia, but am still clueless for a job.
I mean, ideally I'd like to work and operate a game store with an old high school friend. We've been wanting to do this since high school, and even as roommates we talk about it all the time. However, this is a goal. This is something I have to strive for. Until then I need to get a job to make money so I can live, plus save. So what do I do in the meantime? I love computers but hate programming. I'd like to do tech support or something in digital media, but I don't know how to get myself in. So until then, I'm going to write about what I like and hope that maybe by writing my insight down I will be able to mold myself a career path.
