1st week.

During the first week of the semester, I decided to drop the Spanish minor I was working on to focus more on my major, New Media. If I'm being honest with myself, I was struggling with the feeling that I haven't gotten as far as I would have liked to career-wise at this point in my education. With only a year to finish school after this current semester, it feels as though I'm running out of time before I enter the "real world," and to be completely honest, the thought terrifies me. I feel slightly unprepared and very inexperienced. 

I know that design in my passion. I know this field of work is a perfect match for me. But I'm not sure specifically what I'd like to actually do. I love working with 2D layouts of almost any kind. I find great joy in combining typography with photography, and working on flyers, web pages, blog layouts, and overall branding is where I feel most comfortable and inspired.

For the first two years of college, I felt very overwhelmed by how many different types of jobs the department of New Media opens up for a creative like me. However, I now find that the seemingly endless opportunities are incredibly exciting. I may not be sure where exactly to start, but I'm looking forward to getting my feet wet and picking up a few new skills to broaden my horizons and carry me further in my career.
