What Am I Doing Here?

An Introduction

What Am I Doing Here?

So, this is kind of interesting.

I never really blogged before. Creative Writing, yes (my campus has an amazing writing club), but never blogging.

So, what does a Digital Media student on a Christian campus have to offer?

Hopefully a lot. I come from the rural areas of, well, lets call it farming central (not going to make it easier to find out who or where I live). When I attended the local school, I did not exactly know how big the world was, and it began to sink in after high school. It was once when I began to attend college that I began to experience and see more than if I just stayed behind in rural farming central.

For those who feel like their situation will forever define who they are and where they are going to go because college is not for them: don't believe that. We all have different gifts and abilities. However, we all have a tendency to believe that we need a college degree in order to be able to be successful. Please let my voice be the one to echo through the noise: you do not always need a college degree in order to be successful. There are positions that we all desperately need, such as electrician, plumbing, and the whatnot, that if we were to send everyone to college, then those jobs would go away. We NEED people to work in those industries. There is so much that you can do that, if our mindsets would change about everyone going to college, then we would be able to encourage you to face those goals.

For those of you in college: you have the opportunity to learn and grow in ways that you never even imagined. I please with you to not squander those opportunities. Make the most of the opportunities you have been called to or given by the Creator.

Either way, I hope that this account helps you see things differently in some way, shape, and form!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
