Everybody knows someone that has had their life all figured out from the get-go. You know the one, that annoying friend who has always known that they want to be a lawyer/nurse/(insert profession) when they grow up. They were able to take every elective in high school that gave them a better chance of getting into said profession when they left school and then go onto finish their degree and live happily ever after in the job of their choosing.

If only it was that simple for me.

People always tell you that you should work in an industry that you are passionate about, or at the very least interested in. Of course I have interests, but I never thought I would be able to make a career out of them. How often do you get a chance to travel the world, going to music festivals and getting paid for it? With the right qualifications and networks, that is what I hope to do when I grow up.

I started a Bachelor of Journalism at Griffith (GC) in 2010 majoring in Digital Writing and something else that I am yet to decide. The dream is to one day work as a music journalist, being paid to go to concerts and meeting Rock Stars, but I realise that at the moment it is just that, a dream. Since starting my degree I have realised that I am interested in the coding behind websites and am thinking of doing a degree in Multimedia or Information Technology. We will see.

But seriously, who doesn’t want to hang out at gigs all day?



Spotting Blogs

Zen Of Blogging
This blog is written by a 22 year-old student from New York named Ariel Viera. He posts a song that he loves daily and gives a review. While I don’t always like the songs he posts I like the way he writes and my particular favourite is his review of Daft Punk’s “Something About Us”.

I'm From Rolling Stone
This isn’t a blog but a TV show I love about six interns vying for a job at Rolling Stone magazine. I hope a similar opportunity is afforded to me one day. The writers on the show come from various backgrounds and they show that you can get the most coveted jobs in the world as long as you have dedication, enthusiasm and of course talent.
