New.

So I have had many outlets for thinking. Some have been through drawing or dance, singing or theater. But since I am at a crossroads for what I am doing with my life, I have chosen writing as my way to dump all of my emotions. Or maybe sometimes I'll do some creative writing. It's whatever comes off the keyboard.

But here's my story:
A year ago I had the plan to apply to the Savanna College of Art and Design. I was going be a graphic designer and major in Advertising Design. I wanted to change the world through advertising. Did anyone else notice how many product(red) shirts were floating around a year back? Americans feed off of materialism and this company marketed it the right way to actually do some positive good. Ever since I was little I fed off of Captian Planet and recycling and change. I'm a liberal who wants to change the world around me. Well it turns out that yes, I did get into SCAD. I found a dorm and a move out date.
But I never found financial aid.
So here I am in Austin, Texas waiting for an absolution. Am I going to go to a good school? Am I stuck at ACC for eternity? No. I learned in my tumultuous start to my summer that I control everything in my life. But I am deciding. My parents would prefer I not move across the country. Or the state. So my options lie in the multitude of colleges on my door step. UT, Texas State, St. Edwards, Southwestern, AI Austin. Goodness. Maybe I'll apply to all of them. The romantic in me still wishes I could go to SCAD. The historic buildings, the artisitic atmosphere, the lack of bros... Bros are for another day. I loathe them. The term was stolen from my Chris. To be P.C. Chris is my boyfriend, but I prefer just to call him my Chris.
So for now I'm using this semester to figure it out. What do I want to major in? Advertising Design was really specialized to SCAD. But maybe advertising wasn't my future? Perhaps it could be English or Education?
At the end of the day I just want to make a difference, and change people.

WOO OBAMA!
