I've been thinking about where I'm going to end up after graduation lately. Considering its my junior year, it's getting closer. I came to California for college for a few different reasons- simply to live somewhere new, to revisit somewhere I loved growing up, to pursue acting while in college, and if I decided I wanted to work in film this would be the place to make connections. I've loved living in Orange while going to college it's such an amazing little nook with endless charm and Chapman is a beautiful school with great classes and funny professors. I've been pursuing acting since I got here and I've actually managed to make my way a bit by running around town, getting headshots, doing showcases, lunches with agents, etc. Now I have an agent that I like and am starting to do auditions which is fun, but not my life. As far as considering a career in film, I'm minoring in film studies so I'm constantly learning more and more about film and next summer I hope to intern at some film production company such as Paramount or Warners Bros. If not that, then maybe some marketing company or fashion magazine in LA. Ha... or even Disney Corporate.
I've kinda always thought that if I don't go into something relating to film then I'd go back to Washington after college. Because every other career path is available there and my family is there. But also because I've grown to love it there, I always used to think that I was a California girl at heart because I missed living here, but somewhere along the way I was converted to a Northwest girl. I love the smell of rain, the seasons, the culture, the people, the nature. Although palm trees, sunshine, sand, Disneyland and fancy LA spots are fun, it doesn't quite compare. But I could see myself happy either in CA or WA. I guess we'll see what happens, what God has in store. Oh but then there's also this other part of me that would love to move around while I'm young- live in NYC, Hawaii, abroad even. But that doesn't seem realistic unless it comes with a job opportunity, so my adventurous urges will have to be left for vacations.
I belong in the wild... (pictures from our trip to Forks, WA last Winter Break haha).
