(NVGR) It feels awesome to finally have a major
JRisJunior | 10:24 PM on 11.19.2008 10 comments


College is crazy. There's a crap ton of work to be done, homework to finish, people to meet, parties to go to, food to eat, and plenty of breststesses to stare at. But all of that is for naught if you don't have a direction.

I finally have my direction. As of November, 19, 2008, I am officially a student of Theatre at Illinois State University. It's taken me 4 years to finally figure out what I'm good at, and that has come to fruition.

I'll tell you right now, there's very few better feelings in the world than this. Other than, possibly, graduation.

To all of you who don't think you'll ever figure out what you want to do with your life: Stop freaking out. It's out there, whether you know it or not. And when you find it, go for it. Let nothing get in your way.

"A man chooses, a slave obeys." As of this moment, I am a MAN. I was also a man shortly after my bar mitzvah, but IT DOESN'T MATTER. I am definitely one NOW.

Cheers.

That's awesome man! I can't wait till I graduate so I can go to college.

Ever since I was little, I have always wanted to be a games designer. I don't know exactly what field in game design I want to be in, but I know for sure it will have to do with games. I even know of a dedicated game school only a few hours away from my home.

Congrats man!! Good to hear!! I'm still undetermined, stuck in a state between different science fields. My only motivation right now is to not fail, and that's not going so well haha.

@garison

yea, for a while, that's what i wanted to be since i loved video games so much. then i found out that i don't know the first thing about making a video game. i had to rediscover myself for a while after that.

@f whipple
