I'm currently at work in the residential life office and I hate it. I never have anything to do really beside deliver mail and file and pull folders.
So I'm now thinking that I don't want to ever be confined to an office. I'm a business major. THIS MIGHT BE A PROBLEM...
Don't get me wrong, I actually do have a pretty fun major: Music Business. The problem that I have is with the business part of my major. This is also a very hard major. If I stick with music business, I can expect to be broke for the first ten years of my career; because of this, I am law school bound. Yumm Corporate Law. So I should give up the business portion and stick with music, right? WRONG.
In fact, very wrong. This is where I start on my rant about the "real world." Stop reading please, if you have yet to face this sad reality.
If I followed my dream to become an actress, I would probably wind up somewhere in LA or NYC waiting tables at night while during the day going to auditions for independent/student films and "B-list" commercials. I'd live in tiny a matchbox that if you added some paint, could possibly pass for an apartment. I'd barely make enough to pay rent and I'd live off of the food that I'd take home from my employer-the restaurant. Glamorous. Poverty scares me.
My point: I want to do something that I am passionate about and be the best one at it. Shoot for the stars, kiddo.
Being a business major gives me security. I'll have a career when I graduate, not a string of jobs. This is very important. Money is very important. I love when people say that money is not everything, because it is very obvious that it is. Why do you think the country has hit the panic button? Money is for spending. We live in a culture where bigger is better and the more you spend the more we fuel this silly competition. (Wow, i really am a business student.) Money makes the world go around the world go around...(whose passions lie in the theatre).
Back to the original track...
Being in this office drains me. I do nothing when I'm here but I am exhausted when I leave. I don't want to be this way for the rest of my life. Stuck behind a desk. I really want to be on a stage, a set, in a recording booth...these are not practical. Practical would be to continue with my major, work really hard in school, go to law school and become an awesome corporate lawyer. Maybe it won't be that bad. Maybe I will get a big break. Maybe it's just this office's decor.
...and the music played on.
