Graduate with a Dilema in Personal Ambitions???

We were doing research on Grad schools today and it hit me…

I have NO IDEA what I want to go to school for

I mean I have an "idea" but honestly I don’t know what I want to do.

I AM STARTING TO PANIC !!!

::WHEEZE, WHEEZE::

OK, I graduated with Honors with a Theatre Degree in 4 years and I feel like I know absolutely nothing remotely close to what I would need to know about the industry that I want to become a part of. Not to mention my repertoire has basically nothing of interest for any of the Grad programs I am interested in…

SOOOOOO

Little piece of paper I worked my ass off for…

NULL AND VOID

Basically I feel screwed because I can Act-for-Theatre?? I guess that’s what my degree says, but what about ANYTHING ELSE.

GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF

::Slap across the face::

WHAT WE KNOW:

- I love to perform, I know I want to do that and don’t want to miss out on that

But does that just shell me in as an actor and I would go to school for acting and nothing else???

- I have a million little stories and skits and sketches in my head

A degree in creative writing would be great but I don’t just want to write and I don’t have a background of writing or a collection of any stories as samples…

- I LOVE being in charge lol, as much as I hate to admit it I can take the helm and I enjoy it

So do I want to be a director, a filmmaker… will that put me in a box too?? I have Ideas for Game design do I jump Acting ship and try to get back in as a voice actor???

The possibilities are endless

- When this is all over…

I want my own entertainment Studios, that way I can do all the projects I want…

Reality Check…

I just have to go with my Passion and well if my Passion encompasses all of the above then I guess I will just be one busy MO FO huh… but at least one thing is certain… I will not give up.

Back with a CHALLENGE

*****THE OFFICIAL 5 FOR 15 CHALLENGE*****

So, I heard from a good friend that if you take the time to be good at something, even if it is just 15 minutes every day, that in two years you will become an expert. I decided that the day after my Birthday would be a perfect starting point to test this theory. Starting today I will take 5 fifteen minute segments of my day, everyday and use them in the service of 5 personal goals. Through the help of Social Networking, I will record and document the results. But, I know I will need help and so I am sharing my challenge my Social Network. I will be using Facebook, Twitter, Blogspot, and Youtube to Kick it off (maybe others as I get better). Now it doesn’t have to be 5 that’s just a catchy little hashtag, it can be more, or just one goal but the important part is that you put in the time EVERYDAY and try.

My 5:

- Acting/Entertaining

- Japanese

- Drawing

- Blogging???(this is the tough one lol)

- Chess

- Learning JKD (yea its 6 wanna fight about it...)

If you want to be apart, just do it! Comment, Reply, Retweet, Message me, or post a video link of your #5for15 or #5for15challenge and include that tag in your post.

I know I will need the encouragement of my friends to make it happen so I encourage you, I ask you, and I CHALLENGE YOU (in my Charlie Murphy voice) to become an expert and take the #5for15challenge

Thanks in Advance for Indulging my madness…
