Check out this desk:
This is where I am going to be spending countless hours this week, as the magazine I work for is about to go to print. woo hoo!
Note the coffee mug.. it will be refilled on the regular.
And the snacks.. they are unfortunately diminishing at a fast rate.
This is going to be a long night but the good thing is that I enjoy it. I would much rather be here, writing and editing articles, than at the law firm doing boring deposition summaries.
Sigh I am one step closer to figuring out my life.
Why does the magazine industry have be in such shambles though?
What do you do/want to do? And do you like it?
I need some inspiration!
xox
YAY for being one step closer to figuring out your life. I have to keep figuring mine out ...
ReplyDeletePS. YES, let's see a show together. What kind of music do you and boyfriend listen to??
i figure mine out as each day comes. it's so hard! I feel like i have no inspiration to give you... but good luck! i love your blog? does that help? hehehe
ReplyDeleteat least your on the right path :).
ReplyDeletei'm a preschool teacher, but really just by default. i would love to do something more creative, but i've got a social work degree and not sure where to go with it.
good luck and keep the coffee coming!
what kind of magazine do you work for?
ReplyDelete{are you able to say which one?}
in my head, i picture that you have a pretty glamorous intern gig going on!
it must be interesting having an inside look at the magazine industry as it is falling apart. i guess blogging in the new frontier - so looks like you're heading in the right direction!
i DO like what i do/what i'm studying {teaching} but there still are a billion other things i want to study + pursue {photography + writing + pyschology + linguistics etc etc} i'm really not sure how to pursue everything i want to in this short little life...
xo
I feel the same way. I'm excited at my internship and then when I go to where I'm actually paid, I hate my life!
ReplyDeletegood luck! that's always such a stressful/exciting time! i used to be a newspaper editor when i was in undergrad...i loved it! i'd totally be doing it still if it weren't in such a mess :( now i'm in grad school--buying time trying to figure things out too!
ReplyDeleteI am a graphic designer/photograper for a large engineering company (cool job, not an inspiring place to work though and boring projects)and in school to get my masters in marketing communications. I hope to one day be an art director or open my own small boutique ad company
ReplyDeleteoh don't worry you'll figure it out sooner or later! I sell trips and is in the industry of what I studied for but it ain't close of what i've pictured myself doing... Just smile and have fun and of course learn all you can!

ReplyDeleteyay, i'm so happy for you that you're doing something you enjoy! it is quite sad that the magazine and newspaper industries are falling by the wayside, but ever since the internet took over, i'm not sure if there's any way we can go back. i mean, i LOVE holding the actual paper or mag in my hands, there's nothing quite like it.
ReplyDeletei'm not sure what i want to do, which is my main problem. i am definitely a creative, artsy person, but i feel like i could be happy doing any number of other things. i basically want to do something that requires me to be up and about, and not trapped in a cubicle!
I know, went do we ever have it completely figured out? I have been to school for 3 seperate things...all of which are completely different.
ReplyDeleteOne lands me in the hospital all day, one lands me behind a computer all day- graphic design and the other is transcribing braille and now I have my own business making baby bows, tutus, shirts etc. And when my Miss Priss goes off to school (saying we only have one child) I will finish the 18 months to become a Sonography tech (doing ultrasounds). Then maybe just maybe I'll have it figured out. But at the end of the day, you just have to be happy with what you are doing, because that is all that really matters! :)
Glad you're getting closer. I hope you work close to a Starbucks!!
ReplyDeleteI've loved and hated being a financial analyst about equally over the past few years. I work with good people in a great industry now, and I think that can make all of the difference! If you enjoy what you're doing, you're gonna be good at it! Good luck!
What an exciting...exhausting time this sounds!!! F.U.N. though :)-
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. Yours is adorable and you've got yourself a new reader. Whoo-hoo!!!
Whenever you need inspiration...look inside yourself. You've got ALL the answers inside. They may hurt...and they may not be what you want to hear at the time, but in the end...all will be ok. Smile...laugh...and take each day as it comes.
i love your blog too! all of your sweet comments really make my day. i swear i thought you got rid of your blog for a while cuz when i would click on your profile i couldn't find it! i got sad! just keep that coffee mug full, and keep TONS of snacks in your purse. they will save your life :) i work at a mortgage co. it is not that inspiring. i enjoy it, but your job seems so much more exciting!!
ReplyDeleteI commend you for going after your dreams! I abandoned my dreams of law school to be a stay at home mom with the dude. I don't regret it for a second. Next step is to make some money from home doing something I'm passionate about. I'm working on it! You go girl! I really hope glossies rebound, because I don't go to their websites. I can't take the laptop in my bubble bath. ah ah
ReplyDeleteBest of luck, and have fun with it!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! Lucky you ;-) I'm only just starting to figure out what I want to do with my life....
ReplyDeleteYay on being step closer to figuring out your life. I wish I was somewhere there too. :) Left something for ya on my blog! Happy Saturday!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, daily inspiration is needed!
