Life as a Ballet Dancer
It’s always really awkward at family parties when that one aunt, who isn’t really your aunt, but you call your aunt just out of convenience, asks you what school you’ve decided on or what major you’ve chosen, and you have to tell her you haven’t done either. Instead, you’ve pursued your passion she thought you’d grow out of and now have a full-time job as a ballet dancer—something you’ve exhaustively trained and sacrificed much for. Yet, the most awkward part is when she responds with, “But what’s your actual job?”

Hold Up, Go Back a Second?
So I'm ALREADY in my third week here at university and wow time has gone past me so quickly. I currently study a combined honours course of Music and Psychology at Canterbury Christ Church University in England. I've never done psychology before in my life but I thought I'd give it a go and hey, every one secretly thinks they're a psychiatrist when it comes to your mates problems, right?

Deadbeat Dropout
I'd like to start off that I am planning on being a dropout myself. A lot of people have told me I shouldn't because I'm a senior and I'm almost there, so what sense does it make to drop out now? I should stick it out for just a few more months, right?

Will I Be Ok After College?
It all started the day I graduated. Nerves were out of control, ESPECIALLY because of the nonstop "So what's after this?" question that way too many people ask recent grads. (Side note—never ask a graduate that UNLESS they for sure have a job) But there I was, done with my undergrad and off to the real world. The job search started a good two months before graduating and still nothing. I already had multiple internships under my belt but finding a job was a whole new struggle. Being a journalism major in broadcasting isn't like a normal job with a typical resume, you need a video reel with your very best work to catch the eye of any news director. I sent countless messages and links to different news stations across the US but only a handful responded. I decided to take matters into my own hands and network on LinkedIn. There I found a recruiter for all the Sinclair Broadcast companies who happened to graduate from my alma mater. I reached out with a link to my reel and asked him if he'd be able to give me any constructive criticism to make it better. He responded and said he'd be able to have an hour phone call to discuss his critiques.
