You know those mornings where you wake up in such a lovely mood?
Well I was lucky enough to have one today and life feels pretty damn great!
I think part of it has a large part to do with yesterday’s class. I really decided not to hold back and walk up to my professor and ask her for help and share my ideas about my project with her. I get intimidated in class extremely easily but I still went for it and it was alright. She asked me what my major was and this time the truth just came out. I told her how I wanted to settle as a graphic design major, seeing as there are and will be jobs in that career in the future. But that’s not where my passion is at all. My passion ischildren’s entertainment and words cannot describe how much I’d love to work in the animation or just the production of an animated film/show for children. I thought it was a mere passion for the movies or shows, but no, it’s something I would really love to work in. I just know for a fact that when I’m older, I don’t want to look back at my life thinking “what if I just decided to pursue what I was really passionate about?”. I’m done holding back. And as scary as it may seem to me, this feeling has been blooming in my heart, slowly but surely. So what exactly are my plans at the moment? School wise:- Finish up the basics so I can transfer
- Apply to a Cal State that offers the best Animation program. As much as I’d love to go to a university/art school, I simply don’t have the money Nor will I put myself through debt for the next chunk of my life. This means I will have to work 10x’s harder both academically for scholarships and with work, making sure I’m employed and making money, but I’m okay with that.
- After transferring, I’d focus immensely for that year so that my second year I can be ready to apply for an internship, hopefully at Nickelodeon Studios in Burbank, since they offer internships for an animation program they have. Unf, that sounds so amazing
- And ultimately land a job at one of my favorite studios
That’s my ideal academic map so far and it’s what I really want. When I was walking Nala, I ran into my neighbor and had a conversation about my major. After I let him know how I felt and how scary it seemed, he gave me some lovely advice about perseverance. After I said goodbye I couldn’t help but feel relieved that people who weren’t close to me were supporting my decisions. It gave me that reinforcement that I can truly reach what I want with a load of hard work.
So it’s time I get serious. It’s time I stop playing this mediocre student role, and become above average in all classes. I really need to give it my all if this is what I really want, and heck I want this badly. I know it may take more years than I want to achieve that job, but I won’t give up. Nope nope nope. -

I need to make up my mind if this is what I will ultimately pursue.
