No Hardcore Dancing In the Living Room

I guess you can say that I've always known what I wanted to do with my life since I was a little girl. I wasn't the girl who thumbed through her parents wedding album (mostlikely because they don't have one!) thinking to herself how all she wanted to do in life was be a wife and a mommy. I wasn't the girl who lined up all her dolls and taught them different lessons out of her school books, thinking that one day she'll be teaching real people instead of her cabaggepatch dolls. I wasn't even the girl who hadn't a clue as to what she wanted to be when she grew up. I've always known. I will always know.

Even though I've always known what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, as graduation very slowly creeps up behind me, it's hard for me to say the exact job I want after college. I do know this though: I would love to land a job, directly out of college, that allows me to write about what I love most: music. Yes, you've guessed it I want to be a "rock" journalist! I would love nothing more than to review shows, cds, and interview as many and all musicians that I can. If I could land a job like this out of college, I definitely think that it could help lead to the one job that I would kill to have...working at AP:Alternative Press magazine for a living.

I know, I know, every rock journalist wants to write for Rolling Stone, and yes I'll admit that Rolling Stone is an AMAZING publication, but it's just too grand scale for me to even think about at this moment in my life, and the truth of the matter is, that AP caters to the music that makes me who I am today, the music that I love, that drives me to do what I want to do.

I don't know the job I want after college. Or let me rephrase that, I don't know the exact place I want to work when I graduate. But all I could tell you these two things 1) I have some ideas floating around my head, and that I'm definitely applying to The Aquarian, because it just may be the right stepping stone that I need in order to land the AP job! And 2) I don't plan on having a job, I plan on having a career. There's a big difference.
