I'm going to preface this entry by telling everyone to listen to this song!
Ok? Here it is....
Now, this usually isn't my style of music, but this song was played to me by someone very special who helped me through a tough time. If you haven't realised by now the music I usually go for is a little more punky, goth, emo, alternative, or all of the above. No matter what the music is, it's still a part of my identity. So a I have a few "upbeat" songs on my iPod, I also have over 3000 of my normal songs.
In the last lecture, Steve Molk, a "entertainment blogger", really inspired me. Hence the above song. In an ideal world we'd all graduate from university, be offered the career of our dreams and live happily ever after.
Sadly, this isn't the world we live in. The world which my eyes have been opened to in the last 13 weeks. To get what we want in life, we need to work our butts off to make it happen. And as Steve Molk said, we need to start to do that NOW. Not next week, not next year, not after we
finish our degrees, but now. Right this second. Like President Obama said -
"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."
So I am going to be the change I want to see. This morning I applied to work in a few low key editorials, hoping that maybe I can start building my fantastic future now. I don't know if Steve Molk will ever read this, but if he does, thank you. Deeply and sincerely; you've inspired me in less time than a lecture, which is my books is pretty bloody amazing.
The last JOUR1111 lecture was an enlightening and inspiring hour of my life, I'm so glad I went. :)
