UPDATE: College. 👩‍🎓

So I am in the process of applying to an online school to get a Bachelor’s degree in creative writing. It’s just time and I would like more experience and more opportunities to grow as a writer. I have been toying with an idea, for you guys, my readers. If you have been following this blog for the last couple of months, then you know how much I love the arts and you know of my dream to enter the entertainment industry.

I have been catching up on “Glee” on Netflix and I could completely relate to the end of Season 3 when everyone was trying to figure out what they were going to do to build a future for themselves. I related to Mercedes the most because she wants to be a famous artist but she has no idea how to get there. My thought was, I am most likely not the only one who has the desire to enter the entertainment / music industry and I’m sure someone would absolutely love the opportunity to gain in sight on how to successfully prepare for it. Especially when it comes to applying to jobs that will give you the experience you need for your specific field.

I am learning as I go at this point and I have made a few decisions that have absolutely helped me start my journey to gain more insight and once I begin to launch my career, I want to share my findings with my readers. One of the most important things that I am doing for myself now is I am reading to see what the requirements and skills preferred for different writing jobs. I am then creating a list of what software or skills they are looking for so that I can learn these skills and be ready as soon as I have my degree. I have also been researching the companies and this is one of the most important steps because I have gotten a lot of scam emails and contacts so you have to be careful of that but despite the up and downs that I have been experiencing lately with work and the job hunt, I am choosing to still set a goal for myself because I still have hope that things will work out.

P.S. I also started watching “Girlboss” on Netflix and it is seriously inspiring as well. My tip for the day is to find something that inspires you and to draw from that to set a goal for yourself.

Xo,

Nina.
