When I Follow my Passions, my Purpose is Revealed

And yours will too...

When I Follow my Passions, my Purpose is Revealed

This past weekend I worked for a social media tour called pressplay, something that I’ve done multiple times before. If you want to learn more about it, you can watch this video.

Working on multiple social media tours has helped to mold my perspective on life and society over the past few years. My work through the internet has introduced me to a hidden culture of millennials that are driven to create a life that they love. They have no desire to waste their talents and know they want more than what a desk 9 to 5 job has to offer them. I've been fortunate enough to work for multiple apps and tours that has introduced me to some of my greatest friends from all across the world.

Content creators on the internet share their talents and passions through various social media platforms such as youtube and vine. For example, Shawn Mendes, an award winning singer/musician most known for his hit song “Stitches” started his fame creating 6 second covers on vine, a social media app. He gained a fan base and is now selling out venues across the world. For him and thousands of others the internet has opened doors that otherwise wouldn’t have been accessible for him.

Forming strong friendships with content creators have taught me an important lesson: when you follow your passions your purpose in life will be reveled and you’ll no longer find yourself saying “I wish I knew what I was doing with my life.”

Life is meant to be lived, not endured. You need to find the courage to do what makes you happy no matter what anyone else has to say about it. Criticism and judgment are all apart of the process but people will always find something to say regardless. Whether your passion is big or small never give up on your day dream, you never know where life will take you. Live what you love.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
